Houston vs Atlanta - Game 5 Thread

Here we go.

So, Astro fans, if you had to pick one, are you excited or nervous?

Here's hoping for a 30 inning game with the Braves finally winning.

They're nervous. As a Tiger fan I'm excited and hoping for a good game.

Not to hijack, but who would you rather face in the series? I'd bet NY

Clarkmeister · #3 10-11-2004, 08:42 PM

I'd rather face Boston. We have had success against Schilling in the postseason recently, and I think we can get to Boston's bullpen. I also think NY has a better lineup. Finally, I want no part of Rivera. Plus, it's possible for Boston to psych themselves out, I don't think that is true of the Yankees.

Furcal just got hit by the ball running the bases. He'd better keep his eyes more focused on the ball in jail.

Wright looks terrible early. Another come from ahead loss for Houston?

Actually, watching him from the center field camera, if you put Clemens's uniform on Wright, you couldn't tell the difference. At least until the ball leaves his hand.

Oh Clarkmeister, Oh Clarkmeister
Does your mind not yet grasp?
The 'Stros can't be put down
No they cannot be sassed

Oh Clarkmeister, Oh Clarkmeister
Do your eyes not yet see?
Our squad's so much stronger
Your Cards, so pussy

GoT

Just a reminder that you wrote this, but barely could be coaxed into betting on your 'Stros?

Clark's letting you off easy on your bet. And the fact El D is hesitant to jump into the fray shows that Houston fans know they have a reason to be worried.

Nice avatar. Been meaning to say so for a while.

I think the Sox would be happy to touch up Clemens in the Series. We remember him pretty well... if we can just take Pedro out at the end of the sixth this time [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Screw all y'all, especially Clarkmeister.
