Houston Astros 2009 Playoffs
Those fans have been rewarded with postseason play six times in the last 11 years. The seasons before 1997 were often filled with anything but encouragement, but the rise of Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell changed all that, making tickets to playoff games in Houston an almost annual ritual.
The two players helped the Astros capture the National League Central title four times in five years in between 1997 and 2001. The team never made it far in the playoffs though. Tickets lasted one round as Houston lost to the Atlanta Braves three of those four years. It was not until the Astros came to the playoffs as a wild card that they were able to put the Atlanta Braves away.
That first season they beat their playoff foes was in 2004. They would lose the National League Championship Series to the St. Louis Cardinals in a full seven game series, but would return the postseason the next season again as the wild card and take their fans to the World Series. Astros fans has tickets to see the Astros make every game close, but unfortunately the team was not able to avoid a sweep by the Chicago White Sox.
Houston Astros Background
This year for the team to avoid a sweep the Houston Astros will have to rely on the power duo of Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee. The two are the .300-30-100 pair that carry an offense that is hoping for Miguel Tejada to return to his former All Star form and for Hunter Pence to develop into the third star. The hitting needs to perform because the pitching is need of an overhaul. Roy Oswalt is in danger of losing his ace status and nobody is stepping up to take over at the top of the rotation.
