    As always, no PBP in the thread. If you need that try one of the game cast sites. Keep discussion to this series. If it is not about this series it goes somewhere else.

    The odd 4 game set with Atlanta:

    6-10 Tim Hudson, RHP (4-5, 4.14) vs. Aneury Rodriguez, RHP (0-3, 5.28) 7:05 on FSH

    6-11 Mike Minor, LHP (0-2, 5.06) vs. Jordan Lyles, RHP (0-1, 4.91) 6:05 on FSH

    6-12 Tommy Hanson, RHP (7-4, 2.59) vs, Brett Myers, RHP (2-5, 5.02) 1:05 on FSH

    6-13 Derek Lowe, RHP (3-4, 3.73) vs. Wandy Rodriguez, LHP (3-3, 3.41) 7:05 on FSH

    So who goes when Wandy is activated? A-Rod or Lyles?

    Probably Lyles. A-Rod has to be on the active roster or he has to return to Tampa. He has shown enough upside where you have to keep him. You could always move A-Rod to the pen, keep Lyles in the rotation, and release Jeff Fulchino. However, I think they send Lyles down for more “seasoning”.

    Yup. Game 4 looks like our best chance for a win. We have a shot at game 2 if Lyles can repeat his last performance.

    Forgot he was Rule V. I think they should find a way to keep Lyles in the rotation. Going back to AAA isn't going to do much for him now. That said, I don't think they intend to listen to me.

    At least the Astros don't have to go against Gearrin. That's a plus. Hopefully they can capitalize.

    Why did I buy tickets for tonights game?!?! SMH......Oh well, at least we'll be able to watch some nice fireworks after Hudsons shutout. Wait....what? Too dry in Houston for fireworks? It wouldn't surprise me to hear that. As long as I leave the stadium drunker than I went in, I'll know I accomplished 2 things:

    1) Got as much out of it as possible
    2) Ran out of money (damn you $8.50 beers!!!!)

    ARod is a Rule 5 draftee and needs to stay on the 25 man roster or offered back from whence he came.

    They could also send FRod/Escalona/Del Rosario back to the minors, but I like the idea of releasing Fulchino.

    and Johnson?

    Braves fans having a field day on the CBS gametracker :(

    The play by play to why the Stros are a last place team. The biggest problem with it is that they are mostly right in their analysis.

    Some day......
