    I was going to edit my post to clarify, but decided to wait and see if some smart a*% brought that up. :)

    everybody starting to perform. things are looking pretty good. cant wait to get wiggs, bourn, and wandy back and see this team at full strength.

    we're a stud-ish number 2, and a sorted out BP away from being as good as anybody i think.

    As they all should be when talking about kids' games played by grown men.

    And did you just call me arrogant? ;) Much like Billy Beane's "**** doesn't work in the playoffs", I guess my dry sarcastic streak doesn't come through the tubes & wires too well.

    BTW, file this one away for the next "RHP with great stuff who the Stros have never seen before" conversation.

    I've rather enjoyed these last two series.

    Winning is enjoyable. Especially, winning with a ton of offense (and decent pitching to boot).

    I've become a Jack Cassel fan. He seemed a bit nervous at first, but after the second he showed some nice flashes. Everything he throws sinks, slides or drops. And philosophically I like the fact that he doesn't walk people and he gets a ton of balls hit on the ground.

    I would really like to see what he could do with a couple more regular starts, and I wouldn't mind seeing him stick around in middle relief once Wandy returns. He's sort of this year's Sampson, IMO.

    Also, Lance pulled a Lance & hurt himself celebrating after the game. Very minor, rolled his ankle on the mound. Only Berkman.

    Same here. Though the word is that nobody likes him, and more than a few were hoping he'd be gone.

    I'm glad Towles is working out. This team doesn't need another ******* catcher after Meluskey.
