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. ;)

It was a hard decision
But it came down to Game 6 of the ’05 NLCS and that tractor Roy Oswalt won.
The Crawfishboxes
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.
