Try this on for size. Brad Lidge is pitching lights out. He has 6 saves, 12SO and an ERA of 0.00. What the f**k?!
This tells me a couple of things. The Astros coaching staff sucks. The management on and off field sucks. Most of all though this tells me that there is something endemic about this team that is not conducive to winning. This team has been in existence for 45 years and they haven't done squat. I believe that it is time for Draytie to SELL the team to someone who actually has a little baseball knowledge, who won't treat the team like his grocery business and who will instill a winning attitude.

That could be due to a lot of factors- he's in a new situation and has put the Pujols HR behind him, he's finally injury free, etc. Still I agree that our coaching seems pretty poor. My main bone to pick with them was Ensberg's batting stance. How does the hitting coach not try to straighten him out?

Wanna know what else is kinda sick... Albers, Qualls, Wheeler and Lidge all have an ERA of 1.65 or less with Qualls and Lidge having a 0 ERA and Wheeler having a 1.38 ERA... Imagine if we had that in the pen this season. I have some of the old Astros stats listed at the link below if anyone cares. www.crawfishboxes.com/2008/4/3/389364/how-are-they-doing-ex-astrJennings is still terrible  |

Luke scott was leading the AL in hitting not long ago.....Qualls is also doing well....You know what though, i thin ka change of scenery was what Lidge needed...i wouldnt put a lot of thought into his being gone....Once its lost its lost for good...I think he will fall apart again...
