Maybe Brad can work his magic tonight too. I see a shot off Webb's elbow in the 4th!

Please have Wandy to throw at Webb in the 2nd inning.. not to his head though.. somewhere on the elbow would be fine

I like our chances to take 2 out of 3 from the D'Backs. Ideally, the ridiculously good Wandy (sometimes) will show up tonight and then Oswalt should be able to go toe to toe with the 85 year old Johnson.

I don't know if Backe is capable of performing well in back to back outings, so I'll say WLW.

I'd take 2of3 from the Diamondbacks...LWW...
However, if we win tonight, we sweep...

WWW, Sweep. Tonight is the night it comes unglued for Webb. Granted it'll only be one night but we'll tag him early and often...clearing the way for a potential Sweep.

Somewhat meaningless tidbit, but I found this interesting in McTaggart's blog today... hadn't heard this before:

Quote:
But if you're an Astros fans, be sure to give Chris Burke a nice cheer this weekend. Sure, he didn't pan out the way you or the Astros had hoped, but the Astros also promised he'd get a chance to play second base, which never happened. And Burke let former manager Phil Garner and general manager Tim Purpura know about it, chewing them out for about 20 minutes after getting traded.
http://blogs.chron.com/gamedayastros...ris_burke.html

At-bats are at-bats, Chris, no matter what role you're in. Honestly, his 2008 is so terrible that it makes Michael Bourn look like an All-Star by comparison. (Yes, his sample size is very small -- but his 2007 wasn't much better.) It makes me wonder if he got so consumed with being a starting 2B that it impacted his focus on everything else. If so, it's a shame -- very talented guy.
