My Other Favorite Team, Part 5

Its 7-1 victory over San Diego is important for a few reaons. First, throughout the past few seaons there have been certina pitchers who owned the Yankees: Ben Sheets was one, Oliver Perez another, Woody Williams and Jake Peavey almost always.

Last night's losting pitcher? Jake Peavey.

Tonight's losing pitcher? Hands? Woody Williams.

Now, the Astros find themselves four back of the Wild Card, which is one thing. SEVENTH place in the Wild Card, which is another. Among TEN TEAMS within 5 1/2 games of the wild card, something else again.

This will be fun, anyway.

The Astros seem to have a way these past years. I have two main concerns. Lidge must stop melting down. Berkman must get healthy.

I am less worried about the pitiful offense. It can only get better, and generally does in the homestretch. The bullpen is a problem, but one we can survive.
