I think Erstad is a good choice too. Probably wouldn't hurt to sit Bourn. He can't hit fast fastballs very well. I really haven't got Wigginton figured. Pence should have a good day today. I think the Astros are in trouble since the lineup needs more fastball hitters. We'll see how Quintero does.

I am happy, Rays won tonight over the Cubbies.
I don't really care about the asstros anymore.

The Astros suck and will continue to lose until we get some decent pitching and a new manager.

This team is awful.

I personally believe a different manager would make a big difference. But who knows, maybe Cooper will learn with the job. I think he may be thinking more about what he is doing now. You see him making some effort with the batting lineup. Pence needs to be held on a short leash. So does Bourn and they need to get figured out when to use Ausmus. Ausmus definately should have started tonight. They should use Erstad more and Loretta. I would not let Tejada go into a long term slump without spending time on the bench. The same with Matsui, any sign of weakness and they should sit. I might try pitching Homer Sampson also when there is no break to give the rest of the starters an extra day. I think the bullpen actually helps Homer keep on track.
