Astros only behind the Dbacks (2 1/2 games) and Cubs (1 1/2 games) in all of the major leagues. That's cooky talk. Tirk, what's the chances the Astros make a move and get a solid #2 guy in the rotation? I can live with: Oswalt Legit #2 (via trade) Rodriguez Chacon Backe Astros have now formed one of the best bullpens in the majors (Valverde, Brocail, Geary, Wright, Byrdak), plus Villareal who has struggled but has much better numbers career wise and should be an asset the rest of the season. And don't count Roger Clemens out of the picture to fill that #2 spot in the rotation. Crazy, I know.
WOW!! That's a little more ammo than I ever really wanted. I am now a firm believer in "what happens in the clubhouse, stays in the clubhouse"
that he is. hell of a comeback from 2 seasons ago. probably helped him maintain his nerves down the stretch.
yeah i remember reading a story about him how after he found out he couldnt eat for like a month because he was so nervous. glad he is abck.
he's gonna make $421K this year. not sure what a new Rolex costs, but tradition says he owes one to Varitek. According to ESPN, the 4 No-No's 'Tek has caught is a record.
I think Veritek has only tied a record at this point (with Yogi Berra maybe) He needs one more....he's 36....he might be able to do it
Berkman with steal #9 tonite. Berkman is so likeable, I hope he wins the MVP this year. Of course if he does, it probably means my Stros made the playoffs and maybe even won the division with some 90 plus wins.
