    What a freaking 9th inning.

    Bases loaded, 1 out, deep fly to left, and Erstad guns the runner at home.

    just make sure your boys beat up on the cubs and cards.


    I do a bet with two other friends the last few years on which of our teams will end up with the best regular season record.


    I, of course, have the braves, the other two have cubs and cards. your goal for beating them should be one game below whatever the braves record happens to be. I thank you for your support.

    Deal!

    Memo to PHI base coaches:

    Continue testing Erstad's arm.

    please, you are lucky it was our slow bottom of the order on the bases and not the others. You still had no answer for Howard and had to
    walk Rollins. Congrats on picking up a game on us

    Actually for clarification, we are ahead of you in the standings; so we extended our lead, not picking up.

    That is all.

    Hunter goes 5-5, we tie for 2nd in the Central, and only 1.5 games from having the best record in MLB.

    Good times.

    Is Berkman ever going to cool off?

    I hope not. He has the tools and ability to keep it going..

    Hypothetically if he does come back to Earth, I sure as hell enjoyed the ride.

    It's not often to see a player put up numbers like this, much less that player being on your home town team.

    Watching the fans give standing ovations when he comes up to the plate on TV is one thing, to be there and feel the electricity is another.

    It's been, for a lack of better words, a lot of fun to go to MMP.

    So a sincere "Thank You" to Puma for what he's done so far.

    Dear STL front office staff,

    Please trade Wainwright to an AL club.

    Thank you in advance.

    Dear stown,

    Thank you for your concern with Mr Wainwright. After careful consideration, we have decided to keep him. However, since we could not trade Mr Wainwright, we want to make up for it. We are GIVING you Mark Mulder.

    Sincerely,

    St Louis Cardinals

    Thanks but no thanks.

    Kinda funny how they compare him in his cbs.sportline.com profile to a former 'Stro:

    "He looks like ex-Astros starting pitcher Wade Miller right now -- washed up because of shoulder woes."

    Uhhmm! We can't let this thread get buried just yet. Berkman is still on fire, but Pujols is heating up too. Cards take 2 out of 3! image

    Don't look at me, I was getting my drink on at the Texans All Access event and then getting my grove on afterwards.

    image

    We should never, ever pitch to Pujols again, ever.

    He has our number, period.

    I thought I would revive your thread! image

    They took your advise about pitching to Pujols. However, Ludwick burned them yesterday. I'll take 2 out of 3. image

    Bah!

    We have not played well at all recently yet only 8 games out of first.

    Plenty of time to regain our swagger.

    : note to self :

    Don't accept yagar (sp?) shots from Yankee fans as a peace offering after chugging at least 6 or 7 beers before the game.

    My poor head.

    The Astros were just what the Yanks needed this weekend. image

    Bob Uecker called and said he wanted his seats back.

    image

    We had a great time but if I knew the seats were this high, I would have sold them and watched the game across the street.
