Damnit...if you can't get a run home from 3rd with 1 out when it really, really counts, then you don't deserve to win the game anyway. I suppose it's a good sign that I'm back to getting really pissed off when the Astros screw up rather than just shrugging my shoulders.
And of all people, the one guy on this squad who rarely strikes out. Being great at handling the bat doesn't mean much if you can't handle it in that situation.
I suppose Mills is working a reward system for Wallace. He batted 8th last night, but went 2 for 3. Tonight he's batting 6th. I wish Bourn wouldnt try and stretch things.

Man is he having a off year.
Well, ive been wrong all the way so far. If the Stros win today, they will still get the split though
Kind of feel bad for the Stros, with the way the Texans played today very few people will be noticing the Stros the rest of the season. They've done a heck of a job and deserve tons of praise.
Eh... in 04 and 05, the Stros were wrapping up the wild card and playing in the NLCS while the Texans were playing and nobody was paying much attention to football around here. It runs in cycles. One of these years, both teams are going to be winners and they're both going to be having big games on the same day (possibly both being in Houston). THAT will be tough.
