Congrats to the AL WEST Champs

Too bad Pedros out for the postseason.

This is true. We sure could use a healthy Pedro. Then again, seems like we haven't had him most of the year.

Looks like the Yankees are going to be without the Big Unit as well.

If Houston gets in, loss tonight makes it tough, they would be a scary team to face. They don't score much but their starting pitching could be the difference in any series. Good luck to your Stros Kelly. I'd rather see them get in than the Cards.

Thanks, Barry. We're back at 1.5 games back now.

It's not over......I BELIEVE!

 

[Bullard Anderson]

I'm juiced for the playoffs. The A's are going to break the postseason jinx. The Redskins are set to win 10 in a row. The Oilers are going to keep the Stanley Cup momentum up, the Virginia Cavs are going to turn it around, I'm wearing BRUT til Pomona is done. And Arn, Ole, Tully, and Ric are reforming the most elite group in wrestling history. The Four Horsemen!

 

[Kelly]

<whew!> The Stros are still alive with the win tonight! Why does it always come down to the Bravos with us?

 

[DrRocket]

Go Twins!!!!

And the Minnesota Twins are the AL Central Division Champs!!

I'm telling ya, after the all star break, they were a full 12 games out of first place, and most people around here had already put the forks away after sticking them into this years teams chances.

Thank you Royals for a huge huge gift!!

See ya tomorrow, Oakland. Hope you enjoy your dome experience.

<sigh> At least I have one less thing to worry about now. One helluva run by the Stros late in the season. They just couldn't get it done.

When do catchers and pitchers report to Spring Training?

 

[Bullard Anderson]

Come on Kelly, we're 1 point out of first and have run like PISS of recent. The hot streak is coming.

The A's have a tough task in the Dome!

DUDE! I so totally wasn't talking about Capps! I was talking about the Astros!

The FC race is by no means over......this IS Ron's, Ace's and the team's year!

 

[T.Smith]

Frank Thomas has been amazing down the stretch.

You mean the "Big Hurt" isn't hurt?....I'd wouldn't trade you a bag of balls for him.

You mean the "Big Hurt" isn't hurt?....I'd wouldn't trade you a bag of balls for him.

Why? Just 'cause he can't quite "bat his weight"? He's a big boy...

He does have 39 homers and is really having a good year.

Makes you wonder where the Stros would be if Rocket pitched the whole year.

 

[Kelly]

Oh, man.....you just HAD to go there!

Sorry about that.

Do you know what I find ironic? I am the quintessential Astros fan. For 26 years I have lived and breathed them, I have personalized plates that celebrate them, I have the state of Texas with the Astros open star (the patch they wear on their jerseys) tatoo'd on my right shoulder (no, I don't have any sort of Capps tattoo), my son's middle name is Ryan (after Nolan Ryan) and I think that Craig Biggio is the best person GOD ever created. What he does for children fills my heart. Not to mention twenty or so other players we have had over MY era that I could rant forever about.

And even though Roger Clemens is supposed to be one of the best pitchers to ever hurl, I have never seen him pitch live since he's been with the Astros. Timing is everything.....that is one of my biggest regrets in fan-dome!

 

[Rollout96]

Listening to the Twins vs A's on the radio right now!!

Johan Santana is pure evil out there and yet, somehow, the A's are ahead. GO A's!!!!

Hey Astros Chick, I was in fact referring to Capps. You asked how long til pitchers and catchers report, and I TELL YOU THAT YOUR FALL ISN'T QUITE OVER WITH YET. Our boy is 1 point out. All is not lost. It can still be a championship year, period.

 

[Kelly]

lol....gotcha!

Nice win today by those A`s Bullard (or rather nice win Frank Thomas!)....Gotta be a little concerned by that potent offensive Yankee lineup though. SCARY!!!
