    I already hate these announcers on ESPN.

    So, did anyone take off from work to see this game? I had to break a vacation day down into 2 hour pieces to take off afternoons for each of these early day games...lol.

    I don't think this pitcher's stuff is that great personally. We should be able to get some runs. But, what do I know?

    I'm so freaking gun shy with the Astros in the playoffs that I look way too much into the first inning. Biggio striking out, Bagwell flying out. I need to relax.

    Its just the first inning.

    Ok, I think I may be ok now.

    Oh man, I'm so nervous. I feel like it's the 9th inning of an elimination game.

    Prove the doubters wrong, Rocket!

    why should wright even go through the formality of throwing his pitches when we can just let mclellan call them a strike beforehand. none of the first 3 pitches to biggio was a strike but he just had to call the third one, and bagwell got a bad call as well. they're probably thinking "here we go again" about now.



    and berkman drops a flyball, solid.

    It wasn't a routine play but he still should have caught it.

    My anxiety level has been building since about 20 minutes before the first pitch. I witnessed one of the playoff losses to the Braves back in the Dome. I witnessed a loss to the Phillies to in 1980. 35 years of following the Stros leaves some doubt in one's mind.

    Man, why does this always happen against the Braves, I wish that once the God of Baseball would be on our side.
