Hey, Sampson is pitching! I guess it's good he's facing the Cubs since it's the only team he ever does well against...and he'll probably suck anyways.

GO ASTROS!

(Seriously, GO ASTROS. We need this win).

[A.J.]

I hope we expose Dempster tonight. He has been really good this season.

[RaoulDuke79]

I hope we expose Dempster tonight. He has been really good this season.

I do and I don't. I want us to win but I hope we don't light him up because he's on my fantasy team. Let's do most of our damage against the bullpen!

[A.J.]

Lets hope we have a lead before the 7th inning. Marmol and Wood are nasty.

[A.J.]

Sampson has pitched good so far.

[RaoulDuke79]

He always pitches well against Chicago. It's the rest of the league he sucks against.

Now if we could only score some runs against Dumpster(not too many though I want my fantasy team to do well!)
