Astros vs. Atlanta: Our front-running boys of summer, the Houston Astros, have a legitimate shot at being boys of late fall this year, with the unstoppable Randy "Big Unit" Johnson, a high-powered offense anchored by hard-slugging first baseman Jeff Bagwell, super 2B Craig Biggio and homer-happy outfielder Moises Alou. (Early birds take note: Tonight they'll be giving away Moises Alou posters to the first 25,000 fans.) The defending NL Central champions host the Atlanta Braves at 7:05 tonight. (For the rest of this week's 'stros schedule, see page 26.) For absolutely up-to-date stats, visit the Astros on the web: www.astros.com. The Astrodome, 8400 Kirby, 799-9500.
