    Astros V Reds

    I am looking forward to the upcoming games this weekend.


    Look out for my boys Luke Scott and Willy Taveras. Luke is ready to pounce on someone this year.

    That's two outfielders that I have never heard of. Well good luck Tedc because you are gonna need it. Looks like we face Clemens in game 1.

    If we play today(which is looking more and more likely), Ortiz will make his first start against Clemens tomorrow.

    Saturday: Wilson vs. Backe
    Sunday: Milton vs. Oswalt

    Homer: We're proud of you, boy.

    Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.

    should be an exciting series. man I hate their rotation, it is scary looking. But we have the bats to match it so.... we'll see.

    Am I imagining things, or did Willy Taveras use to be in our organization a few years ago. I was thinking he got traded to Anaheim in a not too big of a deal. I know Houston got him from Cleveland, but I was just wondering.
