Lets get a win streak going...we have had some very disappointing losses already. Yesterday was typical of how this season has started thus far. Close, but not quite good enough...very frustrating.

Maybe I should break out this for good luck:

Eh, who am I kidding. We're going to get swept.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Anyone want to bet that Wandy gets lit up tonight?

We can bet E-Twinkies on it.

Bet you Pooholes has a big game off him, and I hope I am right(as long as we win), because he's on my fantasy team.

:wink:

I forgot the game starts an hour early tonight because it's the home opener.

Poo got a hit off Wandy already, but inning over no runs scored.

GO ASTROS!

Come on offense, get it going tonight please...

The Astros need a new Brad Lidge.
It's good for the division. :)

Bourn with another steal.....he leads the majors in that category.

I hate when we strand runners.

I see these two scrubs by the name of Wandy and Todd dominating the **** out of the opposing batters.

Well, I am rooting for the Astros just to let you know. I hate them Cards.

I wish he'd be more consistant. He has some really good outings(usually at home) and then really epic bad ones.

He pitched OK in his first start other than 2 bad innings, but still...he needs to be more consistant.

And wow, can we please score some runs? PLEASE?

6 shutout innings, only 2 hits, no walks and 5 K's?

WHO THE HELL IS THIS AND WHAT HAPPENED TO WANDY?
