Big Weekend Series against Houston

[rockin500]

a 4 game set starts this afternoon against the astros. I think we need to go 3-1.

today its a rematch from last saturday. Backe against Mark Prior. Hopefully prior can have his regular control instead of that 5 walk performance...

we should be able to hit backe since he has a bad ERA, but he did shut us down last time out. but hey we saw him, so maybe now we know what the dude will throw.

our offense has been averaging 8 runs a game since a team meeting to kickstart them.

Corey has been on fire lately. Derrek has been hitting well as well.

:gt:
