I know the Houston Astros are still mathematically alive. They should win the next two games at home with Oswalt and Clemens. I don't really follow baseball until the playoffs. To those of you that follow, do they realistically have a chance to make it to the playoffs this year?
Astros/Playoffs
- Thread starter CryBoy
- Start date
Bet the farm on Houston on Sunday. No way Clemens loses possibly the last game of his career at home. Okay... not the farm, bat at least to win a couple of units.
Beware, Clemens got smoked by the White Sox in the World Series in what was supposed to be his last game.
Good luck.

i follow MLB this year....Houston's 5 games behind with 8 games remaining....and their inconsistent play will not allow them to run the table down the stretch,,,,too little to late....as they have to leap frog over 2 others teams....
LA / SD / philly have NOT had a collapse lately....and they WON'T, too much at stake....I don't see Houston sneaking in.
the wild card IMHO, is down to Philly and L.A....
I feel SD has the WEST wrapped up because they seem to have the fawking mojo to get up when it matters the most....LA doesn't have that.
Usually when a team that has something to play for goes up against a bottom feeder like the Pirates, they tend to choke a bit and barely escape with wins.....the Padres didn't do that this week against Arizona and Pittsburgh....the Dodgers had a hard time with Pittburgh at home...I think that series was the difference.
but we'll see in the end.
Clemens last home game (forever?) and on national TV

But
Clemens will be pitching on 3 days rest, and he was pretty tired at end of his last start.
He pitched in that baseball world series a game that was touted as maybe his last pitching appearance ever, and wasn't good.
I looked at this dog real hard......
