    I'm glad that we have our hottest player starting for the second straight night.

    That hit on his arm looked nasty...I hope it is just a bruise.

    Ummmm....Blum and Everett are rookies? Hidalgo has always had the talent, and the shot in the arm seems to be the shot in the A$$ that he needed.

    This team should be dominating the central.....if only Oswalt and Miller would pitch to form the rest of the pitching staff can be around .500 and we win going away.

    Ensberg doesn't count as a rookie either. He had something like three at-bats too many last year.

    Well your optimism didn't work. It is a break.

    Get well soon Jose Vizcaino, because the Astros are going to miss your versatility and experience come play-off time.

    Go Astros!! :)

    What's with not playing our leading HR hitter - Ensberg. This platoon is stupid the way Ensberg is playing. This was the 3rd straight game Blum started at 3rd. You NEED to get Ensberg in the lineup!

    Spence,

    It is all part of Jimy's secret strategy of saving the good players for the lousy teams, and hoping to eek a win out with scrubs against the better teams.

    Keep it quiet, we don't want everyone to know.

    I love how our bullpen just hit into dps in consecutive innings.

    Yet another starter demonstrating why Jimy has to keep pulling them early.

    Who else watched the game on Tuesday night and saw that idiot reach over the fence in Arizona and almost cost the Dbacks a run? That was great haha.

    Wow, the Astros sure do suck if they can't win one game against a team with their three best pitchers gone (the other being the traded Kim).

    They better win 2 outta 3 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday or they need a trade (and they better win so I can FINALLY see a win at Minute Maid).

    I think it's 8 straight now.

    PHOENIX (AP) -- Lyle Overbay homered and Elmer Dessens earned his first victory since May 25 as the Arizona Diamondbacks won their eighth in a row, 3-2 over the Houston Astros on Wednesday.

    Actually it's not the same. Had the Astros won they would be tied for first (Cubs lost).:D

    Stros just don't look like a contender right now....they don't have that spark.
