Take advantage of this year and the next 2 and then maybe they can hold on to some of these guys.

The worry now, for me, is they are winning too much. At this rate, we would have home field advantage for all playoff games and we are better on the road. We just went 6-1 in latest road trip.
That's the impressive part. I hope we dont trade a bunch of good young arms to bring in one starter who wont be back next year.

Heh. I think they just happen to be on the same page of the Ripley's Believe It Or Not book.
Or, maybe they are suggesting Dr. Paul got bit by a nuclear spider in the lab?
Would explain the power from the right side.
Oh I know. Just found them interesting, although the juxtaposition to Ron Paul is rather hilarious to me.

Who remembers this bold prediction?
It's way too early to know whether Ben Reiter will be proven correct, but he gets credit in my book for seeing the turnaround. I had trouble being optimistic coming off of back-to-back-to-back seasons with 105 or more losses.
And by the way, I had forgotten about Brady Aiken, who is mentioned in the article. He must not live a single day without regretting his decision not to sign with the 'Stros. He held out for more, got way less the next year with Cleveland, and will be lucky if he ever makes it to AAA.
The co-leaders in the AL batting race
That's hilarious.
A retired high school coach, Keith Hill of Broadmoor HS in Baton Rouge, taught my son how to throw a circle change like that. It's very easy on the arm if you make your forearm land on your stomach.
They bombed Atlanta back to the stone age last night. It was 12-0 Stros when I went to bed. I am so old I remember when we were scared to death of the Braves.
The performance of Devenski and Peacock have been HUGE for the Astros as they've had so many injuries to the starting rotation. At one point 4 of the 5 regular starters were on the DL. Morton is supposed to come back and start against Toronto, but McHugh and Keuchel are still out.
Makes sense.
