Where are all the pessimists now?
I'm not saying they are going to do it. I'm not saying they are. And I
certainly don't think they diserve it. But where are all the negative posts? There are an ton of posts when everyone wants to criticize but no one wants to talk about the good things? How about if I start... It was good to see all the starters get a hit yesterday (except Pettitte).

You know, last year when they were tanking, I kept saying "C'mon football season" & look how things turned out on both ends. Well, needless to say, I've been repeating that mantra & so far the Texans are repeating last years performance...

The Astros are the Texans' best friend. As long as the Astros are fighting to make the playoffs and not quite eliminated the Texans get to take a back seat in houston sports news. But eventually the Astros' season will be over. Then the Texans can only hope the Rockets do something news worthy.

As opposed to say the Cardinals who've dropped seven in a row now? Somebody has to go in this sorry excuse for a division. Personally, I'd prefer the Astros over the rest of the teams...

Why stop at the Division? The National League hasn't been anything special
this year. They have been so bad this year I would suggest taking the NL MVP away and giving it to the AL. "Infotech" <james.a.bailey@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1159367186.118449.259060@d34g2000cwd.googlegr oups.com... Quote:

From a Cardinal fan ... Let's remember that *last* year this was the STRONG division and the NL West was the joke. The Padres won the NL West in 2005 by being a mere 2-games over .500. The 2nd place team in the NL West (Arizona) was 8 games under. For a while, it looked as if the NL West champion was going to be a losing team. Also, last year, the Nationals came in last place in NL East with a .500 record! That's pretty hard to do. The Astros were a *very* strong wildcard team in 2005 - as evidenced, not only by their record but, by their post season success. The pendulum swings. NL Central did a lot of beating up on each other this year which tends to lower their W-L records. One thing is certain, it's not going to be boring in the final week. You guys are amazing! It seems you do this every year. The Astros remind me of the Olympic cyclists who hang around in the back of the pack, drafting, just waiting for the right moment to make their move. If you guys could manage to put together a decent season *before* the All Star break, you'd be completely unbeatable. Good luck ... but not *too* good of luck.  David Emerling Memphis, TN

Heh. There's talk of trying to get the Houston Chronicle to declare the Astros dead in April nexct year. Quote:
The hardest thing about always fighting the Cards for the playoffs is that the Cards' fans are typically the best in baseball. At least in the NL. Not bandwagoners like the Cubs. Knowledgable. Basically polite and honorable.

From a Cardinal fan ... Funny! Isn't baseball weird with this type of superstition? If anybody is doing anything great, the superstition is to IGNORE it for fear that you'll ruin it. A pitcher throwing a no-hitter is treated like a pariah in the dugout. He sits by himself and nobody talks to him. When a hitter is about to hit for the cycle, nobody is going to remind him of that. Nobody is going to say, "If you can hit a triple, you have the cycle!" Having said that, I'd like to say ... Congratulations on your incredible win streak! If you can just keep it up you can probably win the Division! Oswalt is pitching so well! David Emerling Memphis, TN
