    If the Astros ever hoped to get back into it, this is the time.

    Sweep and it's game on. Lose the series, and things probably go back to impossible.

    Wow, I just realized that 60% of the Astros games are started by either Jason Jennings, Wandy Rodriguez, or Woody Williams...

    But at least Wandy is good 50% of the time.

    If we can finally beat Zambrano, then I like our chances against the struggling Brewers.

    By the way, unrelated to this particular series, but J.R. Towles was promoted today from Corpus to Round Rock. He's a possibility for a September callup...

    Cat, do you think towles has a chance to make the team out of st next year? How highly regarded is he by the organization?

    He's thought of very highly, but no one is sure of the timetable right now because he's so far ahead of all the projections. Logic says he'll need at least part, if not all, of next year at RR. But you could have said the same thing about his time in Corpus, and he shot straight through there. So they're watching what he does in RR very closely.

    I will say this... and this is just my own opinion (albeit slightly influenced by things around here)... between Munson's development this year (both hitting and behind the plate) and Towles' quick rise through AA, I'd be surprised if they went outside of the organization with 2008's catching situation. That's not something I would have said or thought two months ago.

    Can we get a run please? We've had a ton of baserunners, but we aren't getting our players in. Not scoring a single run when the bases were loaded with nobody out was embarrassing.

    God, this season is frustrating...get a big homer from Luke and the next inning trouble right away.

    I'm not sure if I agree with this... I trust Miller a lot more than Borkowski, even against righties. Hope Dave proves me wrong.

    That's a truly awful call. Pathetic.

    EDIT: or not... looked bad on first glance but apparently not.
