maxdemo · Jun 24, 2005

Well let me get bashed with you. By the end of the season the Cubs will pass St Louis and win the division assuming Prior and Wood come back strong.

10 Days Later.....

The Astros (36-41) have won 10 of their past 13 games, including five out of seven on the road. They are 20-10 in 30 games since May 28 and have climbed within five games of .500.

mrpotter1 · Jul 2, 2005

Max you are way off. Chop, I would make your bet before Max's. The Astros are not good with Clemens just think how shtty they are going to be after they trade him!!!

BilMirg · Jul 2, 2005

The Cubs are losers ,always have been always will be. If it's not a ball going thru Bull Durhams legs it's Steve Bartman causing them to lose (yeah right). Luv the Cubs, luv Wrigley but THEY WILL NEVER WIN period end of discussion!

I don't think I have ever seen a worse arguement!!! Yes the Astros have been winning as of late. They have been beating powerhouses like(Cinci, Colo, Tex, Colo, KC) in their last 5 series. As soon as this team starts playing real competition they will have a hard time holding off the Pirates for 4th place!!!
