    I just heard on 790AM that Backe feels good and will be ready for a start on Friday. No official word from the Astros though.

    Wandy will start on Wednesday, day off on Thursday, and Backe to go on Friday. Bucholtz is the 5th starter but won't start untill April 11 but in the mean time will be in the pen. Nieve will be the long man in the pen.

    Crap, I would much rather see Bucholz tomorrow than Wandy.

    Both Nieve and Buchholz pitched on Saturday in the exhibition against KC. They wouldn't be available for Wednesday.
