Default Houston Astros

They scored 4 runs in the 8th and 1 in the 9th to tie the game at 6-6. Atlanta's bullpen is terrible.

If the Astro bats come alive, watch out! They have an incredible pitching staff and if they can score runs, they could beat the Cards and win the Series.

If the Astros can close the deal here, they're very dangerous in any series with those big 3 pitchers.

Meanwhile if I'm a long-time Braves fan I gotta be saying

Actually, if I'm a longtime Braves fan:



Amazing, really. 14 years straight in the playoffs, 1 World Series title. How can one not be insane at this point?!

hard to believe that within that 14 year span...the Marlins have 0 division titles and 2 World Series titles. Hell, Fla wasn't even around 14 years ago.

Braves Fans and Cubs have to live with this everyday.

Whoever loses this game loses the series. They're too deep into the pitching staffs at this point to rebound and the momentum of a 16+ inning win is huge!

Bottom of the 17th as Clemens throws his 2nd scoreless inning of relief.

Houston get a homer in the bottom of the 18th - a well deserved win credited to Clemens.

I do not think Roger can beat the Cards though

Anyone know Rogers stats against Cards the last 2 years?

This year he's faced them 4 times with an ERA of 2.63. Only 1 win from the 4 starts with typical Houston run support.

Not bad Taxy

If they can get him some runs maybe he can sneak a win in. I do not think Cards are that great.

I think Houston wins 2 games in this series. St. Louis wins the series in 6 games.

Another night of solid pitching by Clemens claiming the 4-3 win. Houston now leading 2-1.

It's a scheduled Backe vs Suppan tomorrow and a juicy Pettitte vs Carpenter on Monday.

I like Houstons position right now and all their big guns will pitch again. I think Tony is a very bad manager and should be fired if he loses this series.

4-2 up in the 9th, 2 out and Lidge blew it.

Although I guess if you're a Cards fan, you couldn't ask for more than Eckstein, Edmonds and Pujols coming up to the plate.

Unbeliveable finish. Even though the momentum has shift to the Cardinals, don't count out the Astro's with Oswalt & Clemens.
