Holy Smokes, Paulino finally won one! He has a 4.00 era and he is 1-7. That is a tribute to Astros hitting. Another thing that is important today is Berkman ended the game hitting .260. He has always been a streak hitter. Bagwell was that way too. We are bad though. I have no confidence that Berkman will consistantly be good. Feliz hit a triple in that game but he generally sucked. They had Blum playing SS again. They are desperate when they do that. Feliz's batting average isn't much better than Manzella. It is just a matter of time until we start sucking again, probably sooner than later. I think little makes me happier than beating Zambrano. I don't know why that is.

JOhnson should be playing over Feliz, no idea why we sign him.
If we were going to sign a 3b to play to win now, then it was Beltre, not Feliz.
Pualino has done a very good job, he should have 3 or 4 wins. Is so nice to see Bourn play, he is our best player.

Oswalt does it again, loses in a game that we scored enough runs for him to win. I wonder if he is healthy. He hasn't been particularly sharp recently. He is losing trade value. I honestly doubt that he is going to be traded the way it is going. Drayton hates to give up his veterans who grew up in an Astro uniform. Anyway it is time to give up. Have to get up early tomorrow.

oswalt continues to suck, well, he is not thinking straight, he is more thining about a trade than pitching good for the astros.

Oswalt wants out of Houston. We can only hope that he takes fat ass Lee with him.

I know the Oswalt ordeal is pissing my old friend chandler because he is his favorite player.
Well, for me i say, Oswalt, don't let the door hit you.

Astros win again, looks like we win if OSWALT IS NOT pitching.

I like Oswalt but he ought to quit his whining because it is two games in a row that he gets popped when he has a good opportunity to win the game. Myers, however has been down to business every game. Rodriguez is going to be next. We'll see if he can put two good starts together. He usually pitches one good and then gets plowed the next. Pitching at Colorado isn't easy for a guy like Rodriguez.

Pitching on the road is a problem for a gutless wimp like little Wandy Rodriguez. This guy simply can't be counted on, especially in a pressure situation. He tanks it and quits. I hope we can find someone to take this wuss off our hands.

Either that or someone teaches him how to concentrate in high pressure situations. That has got to be the hardest thing to learn for a pitcher. That is why I think pitching is such an interesting profession. They do something that seems impossible for me. I have not ever been a really great high pressure guy.

We had a good pitching coach, but, we let him go and he is now in Tampa. Hmmmm, how are those young pitchers doing outhere?
