That's not going to happen. Heck, some of the good players on the Astros are former Sox.

For the Astros to win it all, they first have to make it to the play offs...


And Tuberski...

I thinks St. Louis getting to the WS is a good bet.

Well, The Astros are 7-8 against St. Loius and have a better pitching staff. They also have a better record against the Cubs if the Cubs didn't have bias in their favor.

Team ERA:

St. Louis - 3.69
Houston - 4.07

What a turn-around. I watched the first game in a bar with a bunch of Sox fans. Gee, that was fun.

But the next two days were bliss.

The annoying thing is that it should have been a sweep.

About the BoSox...

They've sold out their entire schedule, only the fourth team in major league history to accomplish the feat. Let's see, 81 home games times 34,000, carry the three ... man, that's a lot of heartache.

Starting pitching anyway. Well, front couple starters.

yes, thank you Gepap for congradulating us on our world series victory in 1918, and id like to assure you that this year will turn out exactly like 1918.

For the Astros to win it all, they first have to make it to the play offs...

? and? they are like two games behind in the wildcard.

well, at least we beat mariano rivera for the second time this year. we've figured out how to beat him. he even lost his cool the second time he blew it, and that was a two run lead.

Interestringly enough, I only have to go back to 2000 for out last series win...

As I said... they first have to make the playoffs. There are mulitple teams ahead of them at the moment.

They have a much harder job just getting to the playoffs than all the teams that are already pretty much in it

Given that, the Sox fan will eventually make the claim of parity with the Yankees because neither team has won a WS in this century... hell, this millennium.

[GePap]

Yup- but at least we were the millenial champions
