    We just need 2 of these 5 to get into the rotation and pitch well to rescue us (5th starter just needs to be serviceable):

    Arrighetti
    Javier
    Garcia
    France
    Walter

    Anybody's picks for who you think our best 2 will be from this group?

    Joe Biagini?

    I can't even remember him, lol.

    Says he pitched 17 games for us over a 2 year period.

    Agreed, I think Walter is clearly our 3rd best option moving forward if he's ok. We need him to return to form.

    They still should. You can get better odds on that vs any other option.

    Maybe put money on the other options?

    Yes. He sucked dick. And he was always thinking he was funny but he was a ****stick. Thus the pejorative chuckles the clown.

    Have you seen their schedule. Good luck Astros.

    7 weeks from Sunday and it’s over.

    Houston has the 24th most difficult remaining schedule.

    I scoff at the Mariners.

    Doesn't mean I don't respect them.

    I don't respect them at all.

    Doesn't mean I didnt see them as a threat to the division.

    When a long winning streak presents itself, it's always followed by mini losing streak. Astros just need to stay healthy and get back some arms to fill that 3rd sp role.

    I don’t recall people scoffing at them as a threat. I recall people (including me) scoffing at those who said they were “in the drivers seat” or had a better than 50% chance of winning.

    You know who also scoffed at that (and still does)? Every bookie and statistician who publishes odds.

    Quit being pansies. Scoreboard watch what’s in front of you (Detroit and Toronto) not what’s in the rear view mirror.
