You're right.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping Brandon Backe pitches the game of his life tomorrow and maybe, just maybe the Astros will have a chance to steal a win against Big-Z and the Cubs.

As long as the Astros win today they'll win the series which is all that matters, but a sweep at Wrigley Field would make a strong statement for a 2008 Astros team which figures to be in the NL Central race all season long.

The Brewers, Cardinals, Cubs and Reds better not think the Astros will suck this year just because they sucked last year.

And the Pirates, well... They're the Pirates.
