    brianmctaggart The Astros have some problems at the end of the rotation. I don't think starting Hampton and Ortiz back-to-back is good idea #astros v #cubs

    brianmctaggart Ortiz has thrown 47 pitches -- 23 strikes and 24 balls. The balls that have been hit have been smoked #astros v #cubs

    Bazardo...Norris...Doug Davis...Zach Duke...Mike Scott...Bob Knepper ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP US!

    the Astros took their shot the past month and a half, we are going to be 4.5 back after today heading into st. louis and with the schedule being brutal the rest of the way.the honeymoon is over. hopefully upper management stops insulting the fans' intelligence and spends the next 24 hours unloading some players. they are a team that, if they aren't going to be big buyers, they need to be sellers. treading water isn't going to win them a world series, and they are on the verge of not even treading anymore.

    Dear Mr. Wade,

    If you do nothing else before the trade deadline tomorrow, find some way to get rid of Russ Ortiz.

    Please.

    Thanks

    SI_JonHeyman#cubs thought to be getting closer to #pirates grabow. another pitcher may also go to chicago. #firesales

    The Cubs are about to make a splash if it is a decent SP Stros are done...If its someone like Halladay forget about it time to start trading people off...Cards get better, Cubs are about to get better..GRRRRRRRR

    God if for no other reason, bump these guys from the rotation to save the damn bullpen.

    Do we have any fresh arms right now? Are we gonna see Valverde in middle relief?!

    I think Ortiz is on a mission to prove that he, and not Hampton or Moehler, is the worst pitcher on the staff.

    I'm not going to sugarcoat this: Russ Ortiz sucks.

    Yorman Bazardo will be on 5 days rest the next time Ortiz's spot comes up in the rotation. Just freakin' call him up already, cripes.
