    Considering how the Astros play against pitchers for the first time I'll put the over/under for tonights game at 2 hours.

    No kidding. We turned Kerry Wood into a god. Dwight Gooden. And probably a slew of others. Could be 15-20 k night.

    Astros really struggle versus lefties and Oswalt seems to have a dead arm period and Zack Duke is a stud. LWW

    This kid Duke looks like he's got all the tools to be a hoss......can't believe he lasted til the 20th round in the 2001 MLB draft. When Greg Maddox is raving about the way you pitch, you know the sky's the limit. Let's hope Roy can match him 0 for 0, and then we get to their bullpen.

    A new broom always sweeps clean. Put a few miles on Zach Duke and see how well he is pitching then. WWW

    Tonights game will decide whether or not I take Zach Duke later in the OOTP6 draft. If we win, I know he will take one for the team, and is a solid player. If by some chance he wins, he shall be bypassed by me until the 800th round of the draft. If he gets a no decision, I shall consider him for a spot starter.

    We need to rough up the bottom of our division, and pad our lead.

    Duke is gonna be tough, but I see WWW.

    all things equal it's an insult to roy and his total dominance over the last four years to give the edge to some rookie. if roy is past this dead arm thing i think he throws 7-8 innings of shutout ball against the lowly pirates while we squeak out a run against duke. should be a great game.

    Ugh... just when you think Willy has put his struggles behind him after the gaffe in Washington (or just as soon as you might have forgot about that play), he fails to make a basic squeeze on the ball.

    Ugh.
