Oh, I forgot to mention Dave Borkowski!! He had a 0.00 ERA in his first five or six appearances, the first one being a long extra innings game against I forgot who. Dave is GREAT, throws lots of first pitch strikes and get lots of outs. His most recent appearances he ran into a little bad luck but I LIKE this guy!!!

He's been bouncing around the majors for quite some time now and was most recently with Baltimore.

And what's this crap about Russ Springer having to take a four game suspension for supposedly trying to bean Barry Bonds? What a bunch of BULSHIT!

I'm still very optimistic about Astros pitching this year even though the last couple of weeks have been a little shaky. Brad Lidge was in a bad slump, so much so that they didn't use him as the "stopper" in a couple of games, giving that role to Dan Wheeler. BUT in Lidge's last appearance, he mowed them down 1-2-3 to notch his 12th save! LIGHTS OUT LIDGE!
