    Funny how some folks in here were ripping Ensberg just a few weeks ago.

    Ensberg may have an outside chance at making the All Star team this year whic would be amazing after he struggled in the first half of last year. His walk-off shot was the first Astros one since J.K. did it in the postseason. It also was the first regular season walf-off homer since 2003. J.K. did that as well.

    Funny how it's the 3rd game of the next series yet there's no new sticky. Did we just accept that there wasn't going to be a new one made? :p

    As good as the pitching has been, all this team has to do is average 4 runs a game and you never know. They might just get back in it.

    Faced 2 over the minimum and only took 88 pitches to do it. Outstanding.

    I think in 15 years when the next young gun pitcher throws a CG SHO we will say "that's just suck. Oswaltesque."

    Taveres needs to get injured more often. He's almost batting .300.

    Wow, ESPN shafts us again. A freaking 2 hitter!!! 2 hits away from a perfect game. Instead they talk about the freaking Nationals.

    I've been having a tough time posting about the Astros lately, but that was a nice game.

    You know the Astros are only 7 out of the WC in the loss column, which probably isn't any worse than where they were last year. The difference is that they just don't seem to have the hitters to make that 45 game unbelievable run. It's definitely nice to think there is at least a possibility of truly getting back into it. Next trip to Baltimore is going to be tough, but they need to absolutely dominate until the All Star break to give them any chance. Lets just hope the starters can keep on keeping on, and maybe, just maybe, Burke and Lane will start fulfilling their potential as they get ABs every single day.
