Please keep this to talk about the series. As usual no Play-by-Play, or general Astros talk. If you need play by play see one of the many other sites that have game casts.

Go Astros!! Let's see... one of the hottest-hitting teams currently in the NL, versus Myers, Norris, Paulino, and the Astros' lineup... yeah, WWW.
I am feeling lucky today...WLW :grin: Johnson will dominate us but we will at least be in the other two games.
Under. The lack of walks is embarrassing. Oswalt is tied for 3rd on the team with 1. Only Bourn & Kepp have more.
With a loss last night, Round Rock matched the Astros at 3-9: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=l_sta&lid=112&sid=t102 Jason Castro is still searching for his fist XBH but has a nice BB/SO ratio as has been the case at every level.

If I'm not mistaken, though, I remember reading that our overall farm system also has the worst W-L record by far over the last several years.
