Hou@STL game #1 Notes and Hype---

Just wanted to post some pregame notes and trends...


Pettitte catches the flu:

Monday Oct 10th:

HOUSTON -- Andy Pettitte wasn't around for the celebration when the Astros won Game 4 of the Division Series on Sunday, and with good reason. He's got a touch of the flu, and the club wanted to protect the rest of the team from whatever virus the left-hander came down with in the last day or so.


The team is confident Pettitte will be better by his next start, slated for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series in St. Louis on Wednesday. Had the Astros lost to the Braves on Sunday, he would have been scheduled to pitch Game 5 in Atlanta. The club wasn't sure Pettitte would have been able to make that start.

"When he left, he wasn't violently ill," general manager Tim Purpura said. "It was just a touch of the flu. I was more worried about his start tomorrow. Now that he will get a full day of rest, I think he should be OK. We don't start playing until Wednesday."

Pettitte had planned to fly to Atlanta earlier on Sunday in anticipation of Game 5 at Turner Field on Monday. Instead, he arrived late to the game at Minute Maid Park and left early, prior to the champagne celebration. "We sent him home because we didn't want him around the guys today," manager Phil Garner said. "We think he's going to be OK."

Wise guys confident in Pettitte`s health

Even if Andy Pettitte wasn’t feeling up to par, there’s no way Wednesday’s starter would miss this game.

Luckily for the Houston Astros, their +145 underdog for the NLCS opener against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday should be completely recovered from a flu bug that attacked him over the weekend.

“The reports we had were that he felt much better on Monday, and should be near 100 percent,” says Covers Expert David Malinsky. “It was not the sort of ailment that should have any kind of lingering effect on his performance for this game (if anything, it might have kept him from dinking any champagne on Sunday night, which might even be a plus).”

Champagne was the last thing Pettitte needed as Houston’s hottest hurler down the stretch was sent home with headaches and nausea before Sunday’s Game 4 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

The win sets up a rematch of last year’s NLCS, when the Cardinals snuck past the wild-card Astros in seven games. But lHouston didn’t have Pettitte last time around as elbow surgery sidelined the southpaw for the majority of the season and the playoffs.

"I think it`s remarkable the difference between this year and last year in the pitching area, and it all starts with Andy," Astros general manager Tim Purpura said.

And ends with Houston’s bullpen. But after using all six reserves during Sunday’s finale with the Braves, Houston’s pen is working behind a pitcher who`s coming off a cold and just two days of rest.

That likely won’t matter says Malinsky. It may even help the Astros, considering the Cardinals haven’t played since completing a three-game sweep over the San Diego Padres on Saturday. “With Monday and Tuesday off, it should be business as normal for the Houston bullpen, and we might even consider Sunday’s marathon to now be a plus,” says Malinsky. “Tony LaRussa’s team has only played one game in the last five days, and he has some relievers who could possibly be a little rusty from inaction.”
