another Astros manager has apparently suffered from a stroke.

Really I do.

We’re totally F@#%d if Baker is endorsing us.

Sure. Why not? He’s right. They could totally win 90 games this year.

Hampton’s going to be healthy and pitch well, and so will Wandy. And Russ Ortiz and Moehler will provide solid contributions. The bullpen is going to continue to be great. Roy will put in another CY-quality season.

Pence will explode on the league, Bourn will develop, Johnson will become a league-average 3B. Kazuo Matsui will stay healthy and hit well, Drew Sutton will come up and provide decent work as a utility man. Bogusevic will become Houston’s answer to Rick Ankiel and win out the starting CF role, leaving Bourn to play 4th OF. Pudge will put in a quality season, but Towles will play well, too. Lance will kick ass again, and Tejada will rebound. Carlos might even lose some weight.

And maybe if we keep saying it over and over again and believe hard enough it will come true.

if he said anything else.

Yes. 90 wins it is. No more and maybe a little less.

it could happen…stros always get hot…with a weak division why not

Roy O. Solid bullpen. This is Wandy’s true break-out year. I BEElieve.

… unsurprised it it doesn’t, a fan regardless.

It goes on and on and on and on…

be enough to win the NL Central?

But you guys already knew that. :)

as a predictor. as long as we dont go .300 against the pittsburgh pirates again this year.

i dont have high expectations, but that entirely revolves around our pitching staff. If we had maybe one more quality starter, 90 wins may be in reach. unfortunately i see this year unraveling much like last year.
