Well, even if the Braves win tonight, they will still get ridiculously slaughtered by St. Louis.
That said, even if I didnt love watching the Braves choke every year, I dont think there is anyway a Flames fan could not cheer for the Astros in this one. They've been to the playoffs seven times previously, and never won a playoff round. If you thought our drought was long, try going four decades without a playoff series win.
Also, Ken Caminitti was a popular member of the Astros that played with many of the players still on their roster. They might be out to win this one for Cammy as well.
With Roy Oswalt on the mound, I would not bet againt the Astros today.
