    As always, no PBP in the thread. If you need that try one of the game cast sites. Keep discussion to this series. If it is not about this series it goes somewhere else.

    8-21 Lucas Harrell, RHP vs. Adam Wainwright, RHP 7:15 on FSH

    8-22 Bud Norris, RHP vs. Kyle Lohse, RHP 7:15 on FSH

    8-23 Dallas Keuchel, LHP vs. Jake Westbrook, RHP 12:45 on FSH

    Bud Norris against St. Louis, at least you got that going for you, right? :p Maybe not.

    Harrell does have another pitch besides a fastball right?

    Anyone catch the Jay Leno opening monologue last night? I just happened to catch it but don't normally watch it. He started talking about how the Little League World Series is going on and then he name dropped the "Houston Astros" as one of the teams. Doh!

    And I was just thinking while looking at St Louis's lineup how many HR's those starters have compared to ours :cool:

    Well, this team is now 1 game off of last year's pace. They were 40-84 through 124 games last season. Don't know how Baseball Prospectus projects 107 losses for the Astros this season, but they're probably good for at least 5 more losses the way they're playing...

    Agreed. 107 losses means 55 wins. Very unlikely we break 50. Probably end up closer to 45.

    4-0 lead in 4th quickly becomes 8-5 deficit in 5th. #wheelsfalloff

    I think 80% of our losses happen in the 5th or 6th innings. Or put another way, 80% of our losses happen in the last inning our starter is in the game.

    The Astros now have a 12-51 road record. The worst road record in MLB history is held by the '63 Mets and 2010 Pirates at 17-64. We'd have to do worse than 5-13 in order to take sole ownership of that dubious honor. We're on pace to go 15-66. I think we can do it.

    Remaining road games:

    3 - Mets
    3 - Pitt
    3 - Cin
    3 - StL
    3 - Mil
    3 - Cubs

    That last road series vs the Cubbies will be pivotal.
