    everybody starting to perform. things are looking pretty good. cant wait to get wiggs, bourn, and wandy back and see this team at full strength.

    we're a stud-ish number 2, and a sorted out BP away from being as good as anybody i think.

    As they all should be when talking about kids' games played by grown men.

    And did you just call me arrogant? ;) Much like Billy Beane's "**** doesn't work in the playoffs", I guess my dry sarcastic streak doesn't come through the tubes & wires too well.

    BTW, file this one away for the next "RHP with great stuff who the Stros have never seen before" conversation.

    Winning is enjoyable. Especially, winning with a ton of offense (and decent pitching to boot).

    I've become a Jack Cassel fan. He seemed a bit nervous at first, but after the second he showed some nice flashes. Everything he throws sinks, slides or drops. And philosophically I like the fact that he doesn't walk people and he gets a ton of balls hit on the ground.

    I would really like to see what he could do with a couple more regular starts, and I wouldn't mind seeing him stick around in middle relief once Wandy returns. He's sort of this year's Sampson, IMO.

    Also, Lance pulled a Lance & hurt himself celebrating after the game. Very minor, rolled his ankle on the mound. Only Berkman.

    Same here. Though the word is that nobody likes him, and more than a few were hoping he'd be gone.

    I'm glad Towles is working out. This team doesn't need another ******* catcher after Meluskey.
