Lee doubled softly to right, Bourn scored. That was the closest we came to a clutch hit. I took that off the website. Even Lee's doubles are soft. We had guys on 123 and one out. Neither Bourn nor Keppinger could drive in a run. Then they get guys on base and Snyder hits a homerun. This is really sucking in unreal ways this year.

We are doing our best to be the worst team in baseball. I hope Drayton is feeling the heat. We have the worst home record in baseball. Baltimore is bad but they have played most of their games on the road. We have done most of our sucking at home.

The Diamondbacks were just getting pounded and they have completely shut down the Astros at home. One more game but this was the one that I had the most hope for.

We won the last game. Good job by the pitching. I hope those guys can keep their chins up.
They have been doing a decent job most of the time. Trash our hitting.

I was very happy with the Myers move, problem is we only have 3 starters, Norris and Paulino are not good.
Now, offense, Houston, we have a problem.

Norris and Paulino don't bother me much because we have a lousy team. We are not going to win anyway so lets try to develop some starters. I think that over-using them might be a problem. I don't think it is worth using a pitcher longer than he is normally effective unless he is doing abnormally well. I think taking them into the 6th and 7th inning oftentimes is asking for trouble. Some days they might get in trouble earlier. I also think there is no reason not to try giving someone else an alternate start and put those pitchers in the bullpen for a week.

Rodriguez has been shaky this year. The Astros scored over their average today. Rodriguez needs to take advantage of three runs, that is a big score for the Astros. That is enough runs for an Astro pitcher to win a game. Shame on him!

Wandy is .......and always has been..........a gutless little b*tch. If things start going bad, he pouts and goes in the tank.

I see Norris as the RHP version of Billy Wagner.
He is going to be our closer in the future.

I think it is too early to close the door on Wandy. But I think you are right, his problem is concentration when he gets rattled. And he didn't come in very ready this year. Oswalt has been good so far. Good to see Paulino had a good start.
