3rd

[Phil C]

Oops I jumped ahead of you setex. Please keep the updates coming!!

[setex]

Can hang a little while at work.

Mike Hampton with a single, that dude can hit

[gobbler grad]

Astros are picking up where they left off yesterday!! Oswalt looks good, but need some base runners.

[Phil C]

After five innings it is still Astros 2 Braves 0.

[Phil C]

After six innings it is still 2 - 0. Hopefully the Astros can hold the lead for the next few innings.

[gobbler grad]

Oswalt gone in the 7th. Here comes Lidge!! They got to hold em'

[CHSBaseball07]

Although were gonna win it all anyways...just think of how dominat this 1-2-3-4 punch would be......1.) Clemens 2.) Oswalt 3.) Pettite 4.) Miller

But were still gonna win it all

GO STROS
BEAT THE BRAVES:cool:

[gobbler grad]

What a play at the plate

[gobbler grad]

They escaped what could have been a big inning for Atlanta. Lidge is something else.

[jason]

score?

[setex]

2-1 stros top 8th

Bobby Cox playing under protest.

[jason]

why?

[setex]

Garner tells ump phone is broke in dugout, can't tell bull pen which pitcher he wants.

Cox says phone been working all year, just a ploy to give Lidge more time.

[jason]

thats retarded

[AggieJohn]

lidge gets rocked.....score tied.....2 on base......1 out....

[setex]

Lidge getting rocked, 2-2 just did a little headhunting.

[setex]

Braves run bases like Phillip on my LL team

[AggieJohn]

2 outs.......1-0 pitch a slicer foul

[AggieJohn]

looks like smoltz will stay in next inning...has bat helmet on ready to bat

[AggieJohn]

through 8 full innings 2-2...lidge and smoltz to pitch

[setex]

Bags Berk and Kent in 9th.

Franco enter for Braves, he's 62

[setex]

Bagwell pops out.

[setex]

Berkman k's

[AggieJohn]

2-2 going into the bottom of the ninth

[setex]

Not good, Smoltz bats for himself, singles

[setex]

2 outs, Smoltz at 3rd, Drew at plate

[setex]

On to 10th

[sahen]

well the astros learn once agian that its necessary to hit the ball the whole game not just the first 3 innings if they want to win....i hate the braves

[NSUTrumpet08]

Dad gum it!!!! Braves win 4-2 with a Rafael Furcal game winning 2-run homerun in the bottom of the 11th...stinking Braves!!! We'll get em next time...

[JHS_c/o_06']

WHOO HOOO. How bout them Braves baby. In Furcal we trust. Now thats how all MLB Playoff games should be, extra innings, low score, down to the wire. Astros played a good game. But its all braves from here on out. Braves in Game 4.

Be Proud. Be Brave.

[Maroon87]

Not so fast dude...I'm sure Furcal will celebrate by going out and getting hammered. He's good at that. The 'Stros will take the next two at Minute Maid.

[sahen]

yah i love the motive mlb.com give furcal for winning the game....being that he goes to jail as soon as the season ended he hit the homer so he gets to stay out one more day ::rolls eyes in sarcasm:: thats stupid if furcal wasnt a pro athlete he'd be in jail...

[BlueCloud]

AS soon as Lidge entered in the 7th , I disagreed with that move.
Lidge is not a middle relief he is a closer! He just does not have the stamina to go 3 innings.

[gobbler grad]

I agree, but I think the Astros will win both at home

[JasperSweetie06]

YAY....GO BRAVES!!!! What an awesome ending, eh? That was a good game. Don't be so sure of the Astros taking the next two though! We'll see what happens. :)

[X21AAAPlayer]

UGH! I hate the Braves. Hopefully Houston will break the streak of getting beat in the first round this year!
