    All you have to do is use Google to find the answer to that. Or, go to Chron.com or the Astros MLB website and read a few articles.

    Yes, he clearly dropped it but the umps didn't get a clean look. Tough luck for us.

    Let's see if Chacon can make it 4 quality starts in a row. We need something positive in the worse way cause this team is looking lifeless right now.

    I hate it too....I can't see the game.

    Btw...what's the score? Astros.com is freezing my FireFox....so is MLB.com. Something is wrong with my java.

    The Stros sure seem to own Fuentes.

    I like Kaz a lot too. His at-bats are all very competitive. Very patient and good at spoiling the borderline pitches that he can't take.

    Can Valverde finally not allow a run in an appearence this year? Hell, he has zero margin for error right now (maybe that's how he wants it).

    Yup, good eye and good contact hitter. Quick bat speed.

    On another note, are we about to see Valverde?

    Good inning by the good guys. Hope Valverde finish the job this time.

    Valverde needed to keep that last pitch to Helton in the zone.

    The only clear mistake he made was the last pitch to Helton. Unfortunately, closers can't usually afford much more than 1 mistake.

    That statement was made a ton for Lidge... hell, I was one of the guys making a lot of them.

    The only difference was that Brad was coming off 2+ years of dominance... Valverde had 7 blown saves last year.
