    I think some weird twisted combination of Clemens, Pedro, and Hampton.

    He's got the bulldog attitude of Hampy, and can dominate like Clemens, while being the size of Pedro.

    If he gets up to 17-18 wins, it makes you wonder if he could have gotten 20 if he had been here all year.

    Whoever was writing ESPN's power alley comments seemed to think he is going to win at least 2 Cy Young's in the next five years.

    His era is 2.50. In his last 3 appearances, he's allowed one run, with a .36 era.

    His body kinda reminds me of Pedro actually. To be honest, I only expect Roy to get better. He and Wami both rely on their fastball way too much.

    I think he would have won 20 if he pitched the entire year.

    I hope I didn't jinx him for tonights game. :(

    You damn well better not have. He's on my fantasy team and I'm trying to hold on to first.

    I just hope that Oswalt isn't the next Elarton.

    You b*stard, now he is. He just came out of the game after 2 innings. Something ain't right.

    Strained groin. Probably from turning around to watch Galarragas 485 foot HR.

    There would be a LOL here if it wasn't for the fact he's on my fantasy team and our hope now rests with Tim Redding. And our offense now SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's amazing how many pitching injuries we've had seemingly all at once.

    'Stros take the lead though! WOOHOO!

    And WE WIN!!! I swear all night I felt we had no shot and then when Lugo scored on the wild pitch for some reason this pessimist thought "we're gonna win" and to do end up doing it is amazing. And off Nen even more amazing. Our bullpen is getting to just be ridiculous. I mean Oswalt only goes 2 innings and we win. Who'da thunk it.

    A great win tonight. Big confidence booster to win off their closer too.

    Great clutch hit by Bagwell. He is such the man. :cool:

    If I were Dusty I would have walked Alou to face Hidalgo since he's been slumping. Luckily I ain't Dusty, though. :D

    Great great win tonight. At last I can get to bed...

    I rarely miss an Astro game, but my wisdom teeth were giving me a headache so I went to bed. The fact that Ortiz looked dominant early on had something to do with it also. Too bad I missed such a great game.

    Oswalt looked hurt after his first 3 pitches. He also slipped off the mound.

    I'm willing to bet that Oswalt will not be the next Elarton.
