    of course. 4 in 18 is no longer in the category of a miracle or a God-send or anything like that. yeah, we'll need some help. but they've already been pretty cooperative

    Last time the Astros came out of nowhere to win the WC was in 2004 which was an Olympic year. Well 2008 Olympics just finished; I have this weird feeling in my stomach right now :D

    True But that was early on in the season, and as far as I remember they had the WC lead a little bit after the All Star break and held on. 04 was the year when everyone had written them off and they went 36-10 to clinch the WC. Although both years were remarkable this year is more reminiscent of 04 than 05. If they actually pull it off(Knock on Wood) it will be more of a feat than either of those 2 years because this years starting pitching sucks compared to what we had both of those years.

    It seems like the Reds have helped the Astros out in previous years in situations like this. Austin Kearns was quite the hero as I recall. Does anybody else know what I'm talking about?

    We need a strong finish everytime to make the playoffs.

    2004: 48-26
    2005: 45-30
    2008: 28-10 so far

    We have an easy schedule so we just need to keep on winning our games. Cubs/Cards/Brewers will keep beating up on each other.

    In deed. He destroyed the Cubs in a series while he was still with the Reds. It think it was 2004 and helped the Astros pass the Cubs in the end.
