    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    We have our two aces going, and a guy that isn't Brandon Backe. :p

    Hopefully Wandy continues his home success, and Paulino/Ortiz can just make quality starts.

    Let's see how wrong I will be this week, too:

    Game 1: W -- Call me crazy, but I like Wandy at home. Verlander hasn't been as untouchable lately; he's coming back to earth.

    Game 2: W -- I expect strong things from Paulino coming back.

    Game 3: L -- I keep counting Ortiz out. I promise if we win this game and he pitches well again, I'll stop doing that. :p Jackson's got fiery stuff, too.

    Mikey Bourn is a walking highlight reel in center.

    Wandy's getting hammered. Inning starts off with an Adam Everett double, now a 3-run shot.

    I didn't hear anything about him and I didn't see anything on the Chron. I'm guessing they're just resting him.

    What a great game. Tonight was on the short list of impressive Astros victories this year. Maybe this will be the game that gets them going. Atleast I hope so.

    We got a total gift in the eighth inning when the Tiger relievers couldnt find the strike zone.

    I think MMP would have exploded had Tejada hit a grandslam in the bottom of the eighth. Something tells me, if this were 2003-2005 Tejada kills that ball onto the tracks......

    Valverde had pitched quite a bit since coming back. I am assuming after going in back to back (day night) games, they were just resting him. I am sure that he was deemed unavailable before tonights game.
