Well like almost everyone else iam angry too that we lost the game, but theres still a 50/50 chance that we may pull out of this. Havent heard the fat lady sing yet. I remember back in 94 when the rockets we losing real bad and we were being called Choke city Then all of a sudden were were called Clutch City and they won the Championship. You just never know!!!!!!
Teams that win World Series' have clutch pitching
if we can't hold a lead, we can't consider ourselves World Series material, simple as that.
As bad as i want the Astros to win, and we still may, if Lidge continues to allow batters to make good contact when he has one job, and that's to not allow a big inning, we won't even entertain the thought of returning to Chicago to play more baseball.

Also, for the second straight time Pettite has thrown an excellent game and been completely let down by our bullpen.
that's a damn shame, wasting great starting pitching in the World Series is an utter shame.

all i see is a bunch of bitching. it's not like the astros made it to the world series or anything. not like we're playing the AMERICAN LEAGE CHAMPIONS or anything. c'mon people, be realistic. did you think we were just gonna walk all over them??
the astros are still doing better offensively than they have been all season, so if the pitching can keep the Sox off the boards and the Astros can keep up the offense then..............well, it would be nice to win a few at least. i'm not throwing in the towel, but i'm more than just worried. it would be insane for them to pull it off.

1. Chicago has outplayed us. Plain and simple.
2. Brad Lidge should not be traded. If you say this or even think it, you are a large MORON!
3. That umpire turned a routine, easy call into what was possibly a game altering **** up. He is a douche bag. I truly believe (although his pitching wasn't looking all that great) Wheeler had Dye's number, and Dye knew it. He was having a bad at-bat and when the opportunity arrived, Dye weaseled his way on to first base.

I don't think they have out played us. They had a chance to walk over us in game 1 and they have done nothing impressive that I can see. They have had the advantage in numerous ways the last two games and hardly did a damn thing to show it. There has not been anything that I have seen that has seperated them from the Astros as a better team. I think Crede is a damn good 3rd baseman though.
As far as the ump... Looked to me like he closed his eyes when the ball was hitting the bat. Hard to call a game with your eyes closed. The Ump made several shady calls and I'd love to see him have to suffer for them somehow.

Ya I guess everyone forgot, Qualls gave up a grand slam in the 8th. He is just as much to blame. And wheller for loading the bases too.

Oh. Let's also blame Biggio for not hitting and missing a pop-up which allowed a run to score.
Oh yeah! Let's also blame Berkman and Viz for hitting doubles to score 4 runs. They should have hit homers for a combined 6 runs.
Let's blame the entire team. Things aren't going well. I hate them now. I am not a fan of the Astros anymore (unless they win).

I just love it how Fox spends the money and time making fake movie trailers for the Chicago starting pitchers. WTF. It's like it always has been. 85% talk about the "popular" team, 15% about the Hillbilly Houston team.
Chicago doing well? - Let's suck their dicks on the air.
Houston doing well? - Let's talk about what Chicago did wrong to allow this 2nd rate team to do such a thing.

I still like our chances at home with Oswalt on the mound. And maybe the fans' support will re-ignite the bullpen and get their heads on straight. It's a very real possibility that we will be down 2-1 in the series after tomorrow night, and if we can even things back up to 2-2 after Backe's start, we'll all feel better. However, what happens in game 5, when Rocket is supposed to start? Do we start Wandy "Pete Munro" Rodriguez? If so, that could get ugly, especially if the bullpen has to put in extra work for Backe.
I'm encouraged by the fact that we're scoring runs against the She-Sox. For all the talk about how amazing their pitching is, it's their hitting that has killed us so far. We were VERY close to winning last night, if not for a bad call and Qualls serving up a grand slam. I understand getting ahead in the count, but when you see Konerko come up with the bases juiced, how can you possibly think grooving one down the heart of the plate is a good idea? Had Konerko not hit that one, it would have taken a lot of the pressure off the Astros, and we'd probably be talking about how the Astros are 1-1 coming home.

I'm an Astros fan, but I'm not going to get my hopes up with any thoughts of digging out of this hole. If it happens, great, I'm not going to worry about it.

Any of you guys ever play sports?
**** happens to even the best players sometimes; especially when it's 40 degrees and raining. It does suck *** to lose both of these games, since both were ours to be had. But, it didn't happen, wasn't meant to be. None of the Astros are out there not trying though. These rookies with a couple of old timers thrown in just made it to the World Series and everyone wants to trade them. Hope all of you don't quit everything in life just because the going gets tough. Learn what it means to stick with something. They've been essentially playing the playoffs for months.
Go Astros; Kick some *** Oswalt.

As for football season, in case you haven't noticed, our football team sucks worse than our baseball team. Sure, TX is doing well, but not Houston.
