    I think Adam is trying way to hard now, with Willie kicking ass in the 8 spot, he knows his days are numbered at the 1 spot.

    Actually they were going to flip a coin, best three out of five. Come on Iso, can't remember what you've read? Sheesh.

    Honestly, with Bagwell and Ensberg struggling to start the season, I don't know if Willy Taveras would be scoring anymore often from the leadoff spot that he currently is in the 8 hole. That's not to say that he shouldn't be in the lineup, but I could see Garner using this as a reason to hold off on moving Willy up...which does seem like backwards ass logic to me.

    Nice try at the reverse mojo, but I'm going to nullify it by saying that Oswalt's dominance against the Reds (11-0!) has to end sometime.

    I wasnt reversing anything, I had the reds winning last night and thats it, and we didnt get it last night so I just think Oswalt will win today to complete the sweep

    Willy T is leading the league in average .600

    and has a 3.000 OPS against lefties in Night games.

    :D :D

    WHOOP!

    Lets go Stros! Bring your damn brooms!

    I for one can't wait. I'm so happy the season has started again.

    Willy has been great so far. Looks like Baggy is about to turn it around after the HR last night. And man, I am liking Lane so far. That bomb last night....WOW.

    I know. But for some reason. I can't think of the name of the team.

    :(

    The Astros should retire #60.

    Looks like Burke is getting the start in place of Scott today.

    Not surprising. Burke was supposed to be the Stros' crown jewel. Scott needed to come out of the gate a little stronger than .214 to hold him off. Of course, with the way Wily and Lane are playing, it's just the place holder for Berkman right now. (He'll be back within a month).

    Chavez also getting his first start for Roy tonight.

    Taveras still batting 8th.

    Biggio is wearing a different jersey today then the other guys. His says Houston on it and the rest of the team has Astros written on it. I think Biggio wore his Sunday road uniform rather than his Sunday home uni. Oh well, I just hope they don't take his HR away :-D
