Doug, has Houston decided not toplay this season? I ask because I hear all the prognosticatorspredict who will win what this year, and Houston apparently isn't playing. The cardinals are almost unbeatable, and if they do fail, then Atlanta, the mets, or maybe the Giants (better living thru chemistry) will rule the day. Apparently making the World Series last year (beating the Braves and Cards) is long forgotten.

I think these are the same experts who tossed you and me aside last year about this time.
