    I can think of only one time where pulling Caballo paid off. It was that game early last year where Erstad threw a guy out at home.

    On the other hand, there have been several games where Lee was unavailable when we needed his bat.

    Pudge is the new Miggy, leading the team in GIDPs.

    GIDP isn't anything new for Pudge in his career.

    Yea, I know. Pudge and Miggy are actually both in the top 10 of active hitters when it comes to GIDPs. I was just talking about leading the Stros.

    fulchino should have tried standing further away from the plate there. may have been able to crank one.

    Bourn gets beat an awful lot on the inside of the plate. That is a clear cut area for improvement.

    impressive performance by fulchino...at quick glance, it looks like he's only given up 1 run in his last 16 and 1/3 innings.

    Pence makes up for the off day at the plate with a crucial walk and the game-winning run.

    Our pitching was outstanding today. Even Hawkins limited the damage.

    A few weeks ago I was complaining about him even being with the big club, and then he starts having great outings. I'm glad that I was wrong about him. As many saves as we've blown, it is going to be a hard decision of what do to when Valverde, Brocail, and Geary come back. I think Backe is going to be out of a job.
