WOW, horrible way to go out for the Braves, kinda reminds me of they way we went out in 03. Good luck to the Astros.

[yankeessuck013]

Woo Hoo! Go 'Stros!

[YanksHater213]

astros win the NLCS

NLDS, dumbass

[CalvnHobs6]

That was one ofthe best top to bottom games I've EVER seen. Stros used 23 of 25 players (Oswalt and Pettitte). Truly amazing.

[YankeeDoodle]

Yeah, Clemens was about the only one left. They'd probably resort to position players pitching or something...

 

Is it even conceivable that this year's NLCS would be even more thrilling than last year's. Wow.

[yankeessuck013]

-----------------------

I posted this last night, but appearantly it didnt post:

 

This was truly a spectacular game. Backe was disappointing, the Astros looked down and out. They come back in the late innings working the Braves' bullpen, and especially working new closer Kyle Farnsworth. The bullpens were AMAZING after that going into the 18th. Every pitcher out there looked good. Some did put themselves in a jam, but they got themselves out of it as well. my guy, Roger was fantastic in a gutsy performance, but in the end it came down to a pitch to Astros rookie Chris Burke. What a moment that must have been for Burke considering how his year has gone. All these expectations started to be thrown upon him a few years ago, and despite a so/so spring he finds himself on the Major league roster due to injuries. All these expectations had him being the Second Baseman of the Astros for years to come. He struggles in the infield, and gets pushed out to the outfield to platoon. He didnt have the rookie season many Houstonians predicted, but I bet it was all worth it as he was rounding third base last night.

 

Congrats Chris, Congrats 'Stros.

 

Now lets beat the Cardinals!
