So, what was the stupidest thing the Astros did this year.
Two words: John Fucking Franco.
The fact that nobody picked him up off of the discard pile once the Astros tossed him says volumes.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Mike Gallo had stumbled a bit. Would Purpura the Putz have held on to Franco the Fossil?
Probably.
My prediction is Houston over Atlanta in 5 in zero-run-support squeakers, Roger's hamstring acts up, the Cards winning in 5 after figuring out Load Em Up Lidge, and Roger's done for good. WillyT goes home with the Rookie MVP trophy, or he goes apeshit because the other contenders pretty much put in half-seasons while He not only put in a full season, but had to replace a once red-hot Beltran.
Oh, and the Yankees flame out early.

I'm for the Yankees disappearing altogether.

Franco was my 3rd "Orosco player" this season, Orosco players being those active in the MLB who are older than you are. Now I'm down to 2: Clemens and Julio Franco.
I'll be rooting for the geezers to spank the whippersnappers.
And I hope you're right about NY. Since the Unit can't pitch until Game 3, there's a chance that it'll take just 4 games.
I want Michele to suffer.

I suppose I should post my other predictions...
Cards sweep hapless Padres.
Red Sox over White Sox in 5
Angels over Yankees in 5
Angels over Red Sox in 4.
Cards over Angels in 5.
