If I could interrupt the NLCS championship talk for the Stros for 1 minute.
Supposedly Reggie Sanders has a sprained back.
IMO hes toast. Series got bleaker. Of course thats what you get for having an old outfield.
Oh well.

By the way, Orlando Palmiero had the 6th best OPS on the team this year, 40 points below Jason Lane. If Lane gets a day off, Palmiero is the ideal replacement.

Also,
Orlando Palmeiro was the best bench player for the Cardinals Ive seen in my lifetime.
SO if you Stros fans dont want him, Ill bring him back for the backup OF positions, thanks.
Did he have a concussion too? It seemed as he would with his head hitting the warning track hard.
La Russa also said one of the team doctors had described Sanders' injuries as a ``train wreck.''
``He hit his back, he hit his head, he's got sore spots all over his body,'' La Russa said. ``He's bruised quite a bit all over and we'll see how he feels.''
That sucks. Hope he can make it back. Of course, when he gets back I hope he goes into a slump....
I have nothing against Palmeiro. I think he's one of our best guys off the bench. I'd just be surprised if Lane gets benched.
And Jim, do you understand the concept of a DH?
Astros need to win Game 3. Morris is a good pitcher but he isn't lights out. They're at home with the momentum, with Clemens on the mound... Game 3 is a must win. That way no matter if they lose Game 4 with Backe they could have Pet te/Oswalt/Clemens in games 5, 6 and 7 (needing to win 2).
Great game by them tonight.
I think this is the best chance the Astros have ever had to get to the Series. I agree that game 3 is a must win. If Clemens is as good as he can be, they need to give him the run support to win it. If game 3 is taken, this series will be over in 6.
That's been my rule of thumb. They should win 2 of the 3 consecutive starts of Pet te, Oswalt and Clemens. Do that twice in a series and you win.
ooo????? My favorite player and the one that I think has a shot at AL MVP is Ortiz....a DH....duh.
Berkman does not want to go to "bench" defensively...that is my point.
Berkman DOES want to be benched defensively. He's a hitter, first and foremost. He's not a "star" on defense. The man admits to daydreaming about hitting while he's out in the field. He commonly forgets how many outs there are. Ausmus used to give him crap because he'd start jogging in when there were only two outs every so often. Trust me on this, he might as well be a DH, he's not in our lineup for his defense.
P.S. If your favorite player is a Red Sox player, you have no business being an Astros fan. I hate the Red Sox and the stinkin' East Coast media love they get.
Reggie Sanders says he is going to play game 3.
No Reggie Sanders.
So Taguchi in his place today. Taguchi supposedly has hit Clemens well.
I just heard also, that no Taveras, but Burke in center, and Lamb at 1st and Berkman in left?!?!?
Why would Garner take out Taveras, he was IMO one of the big reasons the Astros are were they are.
Garner's pulling Taveras? And putting Burke in center? The man moves people around a little too much for my tastes. I really don't like Berkman in left either. Besides, Taveras has one of the best OBP on our team.
Is Larry Walker playing?
Yeah Larry Walker is playing.
