    Not the way he snuck his hand in. The throw did beat him by 10 feet.

    Maxwell has been more than serviceable

    Can someone please explain to me the whole “you look at it” thing? I’ve been wondering for about a year.

    DH Gattis and Fisher, still miserably bad.

    Fisher is pretty reliable at getting the opposing pitcher out of the inning.

    Whenever Fisher, Gattis, Marisnick and to lesser degree Marwin are in the lineup, they are major holes. Fisher, Gattis and Marisnick seem to kill rallies as well most of the time.

    Not every position can be an all-star, but way too many guys under-performing at the end of the bench.

    Fisher and Marisnick are completely useless with the bat, we would be better off letting the pitcher hit.

    Gattis and Marwin aren’t much better.

    I wonder if Blummer is contractually obligated not to talk about 2005?

    Anyone know the story with Springer's thumbs up after a hit? Or is there even a story

    Marwin is the one that is annoying me most, since they are counting on him to be a run producer.

    If he had a name like Quackenbush, I might be able to forgive him

    Fisher has only demonstrated one positive skill in his short time with the Astros. Scoring from second on a single.

    He was very, very diplomatic the other night when Clemens was the answer to "Name That Astro". I think he did brag about hitting over .300 against him, but I've never heard him mention the WS.
