Now we got Lofton and Sanders running out field..>

You Texans dont want anything to do with us...



Tec - The pirates, penguins and steelers always used to be top of the line...

As of the last few years we have been slipping...

Yep. Astros are looking really sharp this year. No one can stop our offensive lineup. Pitching might be the only weak spot we have. After our 1 & 2 starters the rest of our rotation is pretty green.

Oh... and Dave Parker was my hero back in the day! I used to worship the guy when I used to play little league: LINK...

And early 90's... :|

But for the most part a good ball team...

After Bonilla left it was all downhill since then...

Hopefully they can keep it together this year...

Giants are again looking sweet too..

 

[ElFenix]

we're up half a game now

 

[bjc112]

They dropped 2 in a row...

Hope they don't continue like they normally do!

ugh...that still hurts....

I was in my second year of college then at PSU watching in the dorms and almost threw up in misery after that game...

Still think they should have brought in Wakefield the knuckleballer to pitch the ninth or at least after Drabek walked the first guy. The Braves were stymied by him all series. Then Lind makes a VERY uncharacteristic error and then arrgggrrgrgr!!

oh well Let's Go Bucs! 6-3!
