Since May 24, Houston has vaulted out of last place and into the postseason with a 74-43 record.

After watching Game 1 closely, I would have to say, my biggest question is... intentional walks? Why would Cox do that?
After not being able to watch game 2 close at all... thanks plumber, alcholic, and ER(not neccesarily in that order) I was able to see the top of the first Inning (scary) and the top of the Ninth (what a relief!) Smoltz's post game interview was great, I remeber that, it stuck out to me, but @ this point is beyond me. Watched the post game, and all I got to say is...
Go "Astros"!
Dude. That's reverse psychology...right?
