    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.

    5-11 Bud Norris, RHP vs. James McDonald, RHP 6:05 on FSH

    5-12 J.A. Happ, LHP vs. Charlie Morton, RHP 6:05 on FSH

    5-13 Wandy Rodriguez, LHP vs. A.J. Burnett, RHP 12:35 on FSH

    Astros pitchers look to improve their ERAs this series.

    James McDonald is pretty good...dang, we've had a run of tough starting pitchers here lately. We might struggle against him tonight but hopefully Bud can respond to keep it close.

    Can our offense keep up with the # of runs that Happ is likely to give up? Morton isn't too bad himself.

    Not too worried about AJ Burnett, but we do need the bats to come back to life a little bit or else he could be tough to beat, too.

    I'll still go WWW.

    I never thought I'd see this prediction ever this season... much less agree with it.

    Still, I can't bet on Happless. WLW.

    Hopefully, J.A. Happ can be more than semi decent tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll go WLW.

    it's legit until the ump explains it to you. then it should no longer be a gripe.

    this would be a fun little win. hope kenny powers nails it down for us in the 9th.

    If the ump is full of it, it still is. Absolutely no clue how that's not considered a bunt. Don't blame Mills for letting Joyce know he's a buffoon.

    he made the right call, as JD explained. when you pull back the bunt, you are technically no longer attempting a bunt.
