I like this guy Due to my dislike of the two teams, I won't be watching the games live, just kinda half-paying attention to the end results I'll probably still chime in here every now and then anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 12, 2004 The Cards were the best team in baseball and the Astros are apparently a feel good story of the year. They'll get hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look forward to spouting off more "It's all an anti-Houston" theories at you. Unfortunately I'll be at work during most of the games so it may take a while to reply sometimes. The state of Texas isn't big on letting it's employees browse the internet for fun while they're at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 No...No it won't! What does the Astros rotation shape up to look like? Pete Munro probably got to start Game 1, than either Backe on full rest or Clemens on short rest go Game 2. Personally, i'd save Clemens for Game 3 and Oswalt for Game 4. Neither looked that great on short rest. Give them both full rest, and if the series goes 6 or 7. Clemens and Oswalt would have to go on short rest but after full rest their first starts of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fökai 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 Well, I've just realized that the only World Series match-up I would NOT want to see is Yankees/Cardinals. ...of course, there's a great chance that we will see that exact match-up come World Series time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2004 Which one should be closed though? They were both started at exactly 9:21. We need a special fancy moderator to merge the two threads. If they do get merged though, I think we should stick with Anglesault's title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J. Hungerford Smith 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 I'll kick off the discussion for tonight's festivities by saying how I just landed tickets to Game 2. So, what are the predictions for everyone tonight? Brandon Backe had 2 quality starts against the Cardinals watered down lineup after they clinched the Central. I think he's in for a rude awakening tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J. Hungerford Smith 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2004 Both bullpens were less than mediocre tonight. Big win for the Cardinals, especially coming from behind to take a huge lead. This might put a damper on Houston's hot streak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
