    After that game was the same time I said a long run is coming. 7-2, 15-6, 25-12. Luck is in the air

    Framber needs to get his act together and Verlander needs to come back, but I feel better.

    I said we needed to go 8-3 and we went 9-2.

    Winning a bullpen game yesterday was a pleasant surprise.

    Considering the past few years, excessive exuberance with the Astros in 1st place is Pavlovian.

    My panic is only here when Arrighetti and Bloss are starting... like how did the Braves survive the non Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz games when Milwood, Neagle, and Avery were washed or gone...?

    I was just answering a question.

    The pitchers were on drugs too? I'm shocked.
