6 - 6, 3.06 6 - 1, 2.62

Pretty good pitching matchup, I'd say, although that's what they were saying Sunday, too.

Of course, I continue to look for stats that present the 'Stros in the most favorable light, and hey! we've been pretty good the last seven days. . . .

*Leads Major League in OPS for his position over last 7 days
What say we put this road-futility stuff in the ground by taking a series from the freakin' Mets, who in a way are somewhat to blame. . . .

Somebody over at Speedy's noticed that Ensberg has more homers, more RBI's and a higher batting average than Beltrán, for one-tenth the cost, or whatever. Makes me feel a little better, but imagine if we had both.
