Astros/Cardinals Game 6

[Flourhead]

tomorrow's game could decide the nl's representative to the world series... what are yall's predictions of this game? and when it starts tomorrow just put the updates here...

[IHStangFan]

heya FH....i havent even looked....whos starting pitcher in 6??

[Flourhead]

clemens vs. morris

[IHStangFan]

OOOOHHHH!!! awesome! thanks Fh.

[sahen]

astros.com says Munro vs. Morris

[Flourhead]

espn said it was the rocket

[IHStangFan]

dangit!!! hope this gets sorted soon.....give a whole new meaning to "Houston...we have a problem" :D

[random hero]

no fh,they're saving clemens for a possible game 7

[11TARPON]

I hope that Clemens is given the 4 days rest that he needs. I would rather have the Rocket at 100% for the 7th game and not the Rocket at 80% for game 6. Hopefully Monroe will get an early lead and then hopefully he can last till the 7th or 8th ining and Lidge can come in to mop it up and then the Rocket and Oswall will be well rested for the Yankees.

[JasperDog94]

Clemens against his old team...either one. What a storyline.:) :)

[Bulldog_12]

Stros are rolling on such a high right now and will take this game and leave a perfectly rested rocket and oswalt for the world series.

[sahen]

espn.com just posted munro vs. morris too, with that i think it will be Munro and Morris, 99% sure...My heart wants the Astros to win this one but my gut says the Cards will take it and the 'stros will take game 7....i hope we get it tomorrow though...

[pirate4state]

that Munro has as good a showing as Backe!! 'Stros have huge momentum going into game 6!! I don't think my nerves can handle a game 7 in St. Louis!! :eek: 'Stros take care of business tomorrow afternoon.

Here's a question:

If the Yanks win tonight will they push back game time (for the Stros/Cards game) from 3pm to 7pm?? :D

yes they would do that, but right now on ESPN they are talkin about rain at Yankee Stadium....so tonight could be yet another rainout for hte Yankees/Soxes....hopefully they will play tonight, but if they dont they wont push our game back because their game 6 would be at the same time as ours...

[random hero]

anyone here have reserved seats for the world series?

[Bulldog_12]

I wish. Id love to go to one of those games.

[11TARPON]

I have always followed the Astros since the early 70's however, this is the first year that I got season tickets and I am fortunate that I have two tickets on the left field side just beyond the 3rd base. I bought the payoff package also and the playoff so far have been awsome. Wish everyone could experience the atmosphere in Minute Maid Park. I am praying that the Astros can win just one more. Than I can say that I have been to a World Series game and root for my team. Go Astros.

[Keith7]

they are going with munro smart pants

[Flourhead]

all right kieth... i was going by what i saw last night on espn.... they just changed it today... golly geez... why do you always ridicule me?

[random hero]

its ok fh,we all thought it was gonna be clemens till jsut recently

[Flourhead]

thanks rh... you're my best friend...

munro had a couple of great starts in place of andy pettite... he hasnt had any as of late so either he just plain sucks now or he's due for a great game...

start posting a lot in word association mr. random hero

After that rediculous weather we had to endure in game 2 they better play that game no matter what. Did you see how hard it was raining? They kept playing though.

[CHSBaseball07]

'Stros...with all of their momentum..will definetly take this game....they are playing baseball like it is supposed to be played...they dont seem like they are in the playoffs..they seem like they are having fun out in the back yard playing some ball with friends........and THEY WILL WIN TOMORROW NOT MATTER WHO IS PITCHING!!

'Nuff Said!

[gobbler grad]

got to go with the Astros. there swinging a hot bat right now and pitchers are doing a good job also. don't pitch to pujols or edmonds and everything will be alright.

good luck killer bees and rest of astros:cheerl: :cheerl: :cheerl: :cheerl: :cheerl: :cheerl:

Biggio
Bagwell
Berkman
Beltran
Bizciano
Bensburg
Basumus
Backe
Bent

:D :D :D

[White&Crimson]

Kent definately earned the name "Bent" last night. :)

[gobbler grad]

yeah, i did see that sign.

[CHSBaseball07]

I saw it too.....they need to keep it up..and head to the World Series

[JasperDog94]

At least the Stros are keeping our attention on sports here in the Houston area. It could be worse. We could be focusing on the election!:eek: :D :D

[Wildcat81]

I thought Backe pitched an awesome game 1 hit from womack.

[creditcard]

i hope clemens doesnt get did on 3 days rest thats all i can say but i did think it said munro starting that what i saw....but either way the astros have 2 games to win one....they better not let the fans down thats all i can say

[Flourhead]

garner will let clemens, oswalt, wheeler, and lidge pitch in game 7 if it stays too close... creditcard, get on word association

[creditcard]

wassup stros

[spiveyrat]

So, the game starts at 3 pm today?

Go 'Stros!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[creditcard]

ttt

[creditcard]

yeah... the yankees and red sox are playing for the 4th night in a row... thats nuts.... and a reminder to everyone: put the updates on this thread please... thanks

[Bull's-eye]

Go Astros!! One more win!!:clap: :clap:

[creditcard]

if munro can get the win tonight then the astros just about have the world series locked up... they can easily take the first two games in either new york or boston with clemens and oswalt starting... then they go to houston for 3 games with backe starting game 3 so thats a win and then either 4 or 5 will be won by the fans

[onfirebball05mustang]

Too much pressure

GO ASTROS!!!!:cheerl: :cheerl:

[JasperDog94]

[11TARPON]

[11TARPON]

After one full ining the Stl is up 2-1. Puljos homered with Womac on first base. Should of walked Puljos.

[pirate4state]

I was trying to listen to this game on the radio at work, but I am NOT an audio person & couldn't "concentrate" and complained enough about it that I'll get to leave the office in about 20 minutes!! :D :D :D

GO 'STROS & keep the updates coming. :clap:

[11TARPON]

No score for the Astros in the bottom of the 2nd.

[11TARPON]

After two full inings score still 2-1. Munro struggling already given up 4 hits and a home run.

[11TARPON]

Beltran almost homered. about 1 foot below the yellow line, then Bagwell hit a double and scored Beltran, still in the top of the 3rd.

[Diboll_Lumberjackk]

[Diboll_Lumberjackk]

kent hits line drive gets out to end the inning

[11TARPON]

Score 2-2 after 3 1/2 inings.

[White&Crimson]

What's wrong with Munroe? Why is he pitching so slowly?
To quote my husband "My grandma could hit off his throws"
:doh:

[11TARPON]

Stl up 4-2 after 3 full inings. Astros made pitching change.

[Sinton94]

who?

[Phil C]

"The Astros need to stop giving up two runs for every run they score." said the Sinton GodFather in an understatement.

[11TARPON]

Harville was the new pitcher however, there was a pinch hitter for him and there will be another pitcher in the bottom of the 4th. Lamb homered and the score after 3 1/2 is 4-3 St L.

[11TARPON]

Very exciting ining for StL PUjols made the third out trying to score and was tagged out at home. Score still 4-3 STL.

[11TARPON]

Nothing for the Astros in the top of the 5th.

[11TARPON]

Qualls has pitched two good inings. Score still 4-3 STL

[Phil C]

Come on Astros! You can do it! Get some runs and let's win the game.

[Bull's-eye]

Go Astros!!!!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[neck_06]

[LH Panther Mom]

Great hit, wasn't it? WooHoo!

[Flourhead]

congratulations to berkman for striking out and ruining the rally... and now its pujols, rolen, and edmonds:eek: lets go lidge

[Flourhead]

2 outs and edmonds up to bat... 1-1

[random hero]

go stros. we're goin to extra innings

[Flourhead]

WOOHOOO!!!!!!!! EDMONDS STRIKES OUT... WE'RE GOING TO EXTRA INNINGS... GO ASTROS... KENT IS READY TO HIT ONE OUT... AND IF HE DOESNT THEN ANOTHER ASTRO WILL... ITS GAME OVER FOR THE CARDINALS...HUH BOY DID THAT

[random hero]

go flourhead,its ur b-day!!!

[11TARPON]

LaRussa is running scared. Doesn't want to be out coached.

[random hero]

man he almost jacked that one!!

[Flourhead]

well lets see... i think that was just kent, lamb, and vizcaino... so thats 5,6, and 7... if lidge gets through this inning then its 8,9, and then biggio... hopefully they'll get to beltran so he can jack one out

[Flourhead]

renteria up to bat... roger cedeno on deck

[Flourhead]

heck yeah.... renteria grounds out to third

[Flourhead]

cedeno grounds out... well lidge sure isnt wasting any time... all he's throwing is strikes so the batters really cant take anything... and all he's giving them is stuff to hit on the ground...

matheny batting now

[Flourhead]

and matheny strikes out swinging at a pitch in the dirt... we're going to the 11th

[Flourhead]

this really would be a great game if the astros can win it... im ready for the world series

[random hero]

lets see if biggio can get a base hit

[Flourhead]

i know the astros are gonna win tonight... i just hope they hurry up and do it

[Flourhead]

lidge heads back to the mound for this 3rd inning of work tonight

[Flourhead]

lidge sets down the side in order to end the 11th... 2 k's and a pop out

[Flourhead]

well that was lidge's final inning... backe is batting and oswalt is warming up

[Flourhead]

backe strikes out... and guess who is coming up for the cardinals...

Pujols
Rolen
Edmonds

[LH Panther Mom]

This is so nerve wracking - I need to go fix supper! I can't drag myself away, though!

[Flourhead]

im not even watching the game... im gonna go read harry potter for 30 minutes and then come back and see what happened

[Diboll_Lumberjackk]

Ast0s, lose

[neck_06]

MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS MICELI SUCKS

HOPE THEY TRADE HIM IN THE OFSEASON, BUT THEY PROLLY WON'T GET MUCH, MAYBE A TEAM WILL GIVE A LAST ROUND DRAFT PICK FOR HIM.

[Flourhead]

well its officially suicide time... great one garner... this wasnt one to give away... when houston loses game 7 you'll know how stupid it was to take lidge out.... peace

[Diboll_Lumberjackk]

Why did they take the other pitchter out for the Astros OMG he hadnt let a base hit happen yet.

[CHS_CG]

they said that last pitcher had gave up 2 homeruns and i was just sittin there screamin at the tv... your tryin to win this and you put HIM in yall are gone. why would you do that??

[creditcard]

i guess when lidge has given up 2 hits in the 4 games he has pitched in u should take him out.......good one garner.....all i can say is that it is going to be a scary one tomorrow night....just get on the board early tomorrow stros so we dont have to be scared all game

[Ranger05]

im sorry yall are the most negative ppl that i have ever been around im sorry but u can get mad if u want garner is the manager and hes a good in fact. I really and seriously doubt yall can do any better if anybody thinks they can just let me know and im sure i can prove u wrong

[creditcard]

all we wanna know is why they took lidge out....we aint tryin to be a freakin coach smarty pants

[Ranger05]

brad lidge is a closer he cant throw very many pitches he is not made to do that so therefore throwing him 2+ innings risks injury to brad lidge and in tonights case he would have gone 3+ going 4 innings. The astros werent hitting well anyways in extra innings so lets say brad lidge does pitch another inning then the next inning they are forced to bring in somebody else. and the cardinals go on later to win the game brad lidge wouldnt be avalable for tomorrows game its common sense if u have played any sort of competitive baseball (traveling team) u would know this.

[random hero]

i agree with creditcard,they should have left him in for at least one more inning. he was pitchin too good to take him out

[Ranger05]

it risks injury to him and he would have been unavailable for tomorrow game

[Ranger05]

and how many ppl would want brad lidge to hit with 2 outs in the bottom of the 11th

[CHSBaseball07]

Tomorrow is the DAY!

Clemens vs Suppan

WHO DO YALL THINK WILL WIN??

OF COURSE CLEMENS AND THE STROS


HA

STROS VS BOSTON THIS YEAR


BOTH WINNIN IN 7...THEN STROS BEATEN BOSTON IN 6

[Flourhead]

who cares if he isnt available tomorrow... its gonna go clemens, wheeler, oswalt... oswalt is the closer for tomorrow night smarty pants

[JettJenkins04]

GO Stros:D
