    I don't think any of those 3 guys could break 92 mph with a fastball

    Astros 5 games clear of the first team outside the wildcards, Kansas City.

    We need Detroit to sweep KC.

    Gets fun at the 1 minute mark.

    "he's got an assortment of junk, doesn't he?" "he's got 3 different changeups: slow, slower and stop"

    A's left the bases loaded in the ninth and lost by one run. Pathetic.

    JJ Bleday can't hit sliders at same speed, 3 pitches and 3 strikes. Please stay away from 713.

    Junk ball, off speed closers are rare for a reason.

    Smith gave up that gut punch walk off blast to the rookie Dykstra, a singles hitter. Turned the whole tide of the series. Bitter, painful Astro moment.

    They sure are now.

    Everyone coming out of the pen and throwing 99+cheese gets a bit boring. I miss the craftiness.

    And then he proceeded to blow game 6, preventing Mike Scott from trying to do the impossible, winning 3 starts in a 7 game series.
