I can’t decide. This is going to take some thought.

That's going to be a tough match up.

But we all know this is going to come down toe Bagwell and Biggio anyway. ;)

+1

It’s such a damn shame that JR suffered that stroke…he might have been a HOF’er if he’d played out the career and he’d be right in the hunt.

It was a hard decision

But it came down to Game 6 of the ’05 NLCS and that tractor Roy Oswalt won.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

And the fact that the Oilers played in the Dome

But Biggio never played anywhere else.

When I'm on the mic, I'm like global warming, you can't ignore me.

I voted Roy after all

It came down to leadership. Berkman left that to Bagwell and Biggio. Now it seems he lets others be the field leader. Meanwhile Oswalt is often mentioned in stories of players (pitchers and others) who would like to come to the Astros (and some do) . But really there’s only a coin flip difference between the two as far as Astroiest goes.

Dang

Lance and Roy might be our first truly nail-biting match-up…the kind where I feel compelled to go use my friends computers and vote a bunch more times.
