Actually, Oswalt is on his game tonight. We'll have to come back once again or it's Houston vs Chicago.

Dominating. Simply dominating. Oswalt is in a zone.

Go Stros!

I'm with ya...f*ck the Cardinals. I thought most of their fans were pretty good until this thread came about. Now I hate them as much as the Yankees and Red Sox.

I love ya still Db.

Chill boys. In the end, it's just a game. Amazing how many of you guys get so riled up over a sporting event. You'd think someone just set fire to your home. LOL.

A game boys...a game. If the Astros win, they win. Life will go on here in St. Louis.

Yeah, but it's so much fun bitching back and forth on an internet forum.

BLOWN CALL! Molina was not tagged!

Pathetic umpiring once again.

MizzouRah · Post by **MizzouRah** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 9:57 pm

I guess we're not supposed to talk about that shitty call, huh?

If you've got Tivo, rewind this S.O.B. After J-Rod made his out, you can see the umpire who called Molina out walk up to Everett and ask him if he tagged him (Molina).

HAHAHAHA!! Just watched it again and again.. Nice catch, I had a 3yd old wanting tea. What a joke. "Hey, did you tag him or did I just f*ck up?" What do you think Everett said?

Brillant call for the squeeze. Some of LaRussa is wearing off on Garner.

Well, timely hitting and excellent pitching by the Astros. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

sportdan30 · Post by **sportdan30** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 10:40 pm

Strange, but I'm not all nervous or upset like I thought I would be. Perhaps it's because all the emotion spent on last game, or simply because Houston is the better ballclub.

No doubt, they are playing well tonight. I don't think they are the better club, but so far in this series, they have been.

Who gave it up, the timing, and the spectacular fashion in which it went out has made it a moment that will be replayed for decades. Had it not happened, only Houston and Cardinal fans would remember Berkman's shot.

Yeah... you keep telling yourself that.

Looks like in a couple of innings, Pujols HR will just be remembered for posponing the Cards elimination for another 48hrs.

It didn't win a series nor start a series turnaround. So, I'll be just another playoff highlight, nothing more, nothing less.

I always remember it, and that's all that matters to me.

Reminding a dumbass cardinal fan that it's a 7 GAME SERIES, THAT 2 WINS DON'T MEAN s***, THAT IT'S NOT 1985 ANYMORE, THAT THEY PLAY BEST 4 OUT OF 7, THAT HE CAN TAKE HIS 105 GAMES AND SHOVE IT UP HIS ASS!!!!: PRICELESS!!!!

Not here to gloat. Cards have a great team, but I'm just very.. very happy for the Astros. Biggio and Bagwell especially.

Look forward to Cards/Astros part III next year.

On to the World Series!

HouOilers · Post by **HouOilers** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 11:32 pm

Wow I didn't know when you won the NL pennant you got awarded a bowling trophy

BTW, anyone hear from Jayhawker recently??

I just like to gloat against the gloaters. It'll be a great series, perfect for the baseball purist. Both teams have great pitching and defense. I hope we have enough to win it and not be happy just to get there.

Oh as for the Cards/Astros III next year, forget about it. We just killed off the Cardinals for this generation. The Astros will be the best team in the NL for the next 3 years.

I could remind a few people of some of their previous comments about the Astros, but I am too happy for the organization, the city of Houston, and the players who overcame a horrible start to get to the big show.

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the St. Louis Cardinals organization and their fans. The Cardinals players are class acts and represent what is right about Baseball.

Finally after 24 years of being an Astros fan, I can finally celebrate a World Series. Wow, what an unusual feeling after all the years of failures and missed opportunities.

Congrats to the White Sox fans. It should be a fun series!

I did want to come back to ask him if Lane's HR was an acceptable distance.

Unless I'm missing something, they'll be fine next year. Rolen will be back, right? Losing Walker won't be that big of a deal.

I do love the fact the Astros will have Beltran money to spend this offseason. Either a 1st baseman if Bagwell can't return, or an outfielder if he can.

F*CK...the Braves are now screwed. Mazzone to the O's.

Now if only the Braves can bring back Maddux to be the pitching coach, all will be well. But that's not gonna happen next year. F*ck, F*ck, F*ck!
