With the Astros' win over the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 tonight, combined with the Phillies' 2-3 loss to the NY Mets, leaves the Astros with a magic number of 3.
As a result of the Astros' win, the NY Mets and the Florida Marlins were mathematically eliminated from the NL wild card race, leaving only the Phillies and the Astros in the race. The way each team looks right now, the Astros are set to win their second straight NL Wild Card title. This would likely set up a NLDS match-up with the Atlanta Braves for a second straight season.
While the Astros' offense is not quite what it was last year with Carlo$ Beltran on board, it certainly looks like the pitching is set to carry us far into the playoffs. Don't forget - playoffs in baseball are all about your three man rotation. Therefore, I have but three words for the rest of Major League Baseball.....
..... Clemens, Oswalt, Pettitte.

So torn on this one. Part of me wants to tell the Astros that the Cards rock since that's were I live, but the part of me that is still VERY much Texan said, 'bout damn time!
