Let us hope our pitching is on or, if not, then our bats pick us up. I don't trust Hernandez, Redding, Munro, or Backe from one game to the next. You never know what kind of performance your going to get from these guys.

i hate redding, he brings down my hope of a sweep.... to think he was once my fav. astro, right after lugo.
except that we've pounded Josh Fogg. if redding can hold 'em to 5-6, that may be enough with the way this team is hitting.
Im worried about Hernandez & Redding, i sure hope they can get thier act together so we can pull away from the other teams in the wild card race.
I'm worried about the first game. Oliver Perez has been almost dominating at times, despite his record. LWWWW
