Well, it being such a miracle that we made the play-offs, I felt obligated to post a competing thread to the Yankees and Dodgers. |

Scott---As a die hard Clemens fan I hope you root well. Also as a die hard Clemens fan if you can find an extra stub/ticket from the game I would be happy to purchase it from you. |

As someone who was rooting for the Cubs or Giants to get the wild card i have a hard time rooting for the Astros but i will say this,if history repeats itself they have a great chance of winning it all |

Its about time Houston won a pennant! Tough call this year with the Cards so strong..The only series I DONT want to is Braves vs. Yanks. |

Scott--Way to root them Astros home. Rocket was amazing considering he was off his game, obviously still suffering the after effects of the flu. |

The only problem was the cretins from South Georgia who surrounded me. Berkman dropped a line drive early in the game that cost us a run, so these products of brother-sister matings were yelling "Berkman sucks" (we were sitting near Berkman) and they all thought that was a really witty line...toothless grins abounded. |

I watched today's game on t.v., but just bought a ticket online for Game #5 (if it goes that far)...two sections to the left of home plate, row 5...it's ridiculous that seats like that are still available. |

This series is sickening. The Astros are remembering who they are and the Braves have their best player ready to be led away in handcuffs. What a great advertisement for the game, this and a half empty stadium. |

this is a very rare run they are enjoying (or not enjoying as the case may be). Take it from a resident of a town where the team has been in the WS only 2x in the last 25 years and hadn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade before this year's seeming 3 and out appearance. To get to the postseason 13 straight times; hell, the Yankees have only made it 7 in a row. Braves fans should be loving life, not acting like they were at a third place team's final series of the year. The ownership must be pissed about the attendance, and with good reason. Between them and the Devil Rays and Marlins, maybe the whole southeast thing is a bad experiment that should be abandoned. I can think of some rabid fans in other towns who might appreciate a ML team more than these towns... |

I think the problem is that this is one of their worst teams theyve put out in those 13 years and people dont want another postseason dissapointment.They might make the playoffs every year but they have 1 world series win the show for it,and that was 9 seasons ago.This team lost big names over the last offseason and i dont think the fans were too happy about that either |

if it wasnt for clemens would the astro have ever sold out? he is definitely the reason they are in the playoffs. what was that string of wins he had 7 or 8? i saw roger pitch at fenway as a redsock and the fans loved him, they are my #2 team only to the angels, which by the way are getting spanked by the sox right now, the angels are done... |

Astros won the last 36 of 46, undefeated at home. A tough call for the Braves |

but I win either way - if the Astros lose the series, I get to go to the NLCS and possibly the World Series. But I am hoping to stay home with the Twins fans. |

I would never have thought the play-offs this year could be as exciting as last year, but it looks like it might happen. As an "anti-Yankee", I hated to see the Twins lose, but give me an ALCS of "Yankees vs Red Sox" any day. Anything can happen in a 7-game series. |

Nice call to take Biggio out of the game for NO advantage? It's like taking Jeter out in the 8th inning for a match up that look good on paper? With those kind of decisions Bobby Cox will out manage Phil in tomorrow's game in ATLANTA. |

I'll be watching the deciding game of the series from the 5th row - can't really ask for more than that. |

I dug this photo up yesterday - we bought tickets well in advance and just lucked into this situation. The Reds were waiting around during a rain delay when the scoreboard flashed that the Dodgers had lost, meaning Cincinnati had clinched the division. The players took turns sliding across the tarp. My cheap nosebleed seats worked out well for the photo op: |

Easily the best baseball experience I have had, and that includes seeing Nolan Ryan's 7th no-hitter. |
