So long, Russ Ortiz...

Astros just released Russ Ortiz. Thank God. Guess that means Bud Norris steps into his spot in the rotation.

Mike Hampton ... you're on notice!

he did a lot better than I expected for the first 3 months, but he's been terrible this month. I'm sure he will catch on somewhere.

Looking forward to seeing Bud Norris get his shot.

Good riddance. He's been a disaster with a bad attitude.
