Ted Lilly continued his career mastery over the Astros last night, and Carlos Zambrano looks to do the same tonight against Houston. Big Z goes into tonight's game with a career 13-7 record against the Astros, with a 2.66 ERA, 8.2 K/9 and a scant 1.13 WHIP. For comparison's sake, against the Pirates his WHIP is 1.44...so who knows.

Remember back a few weeks ago when Wandy faced off against Yovani Gallardo, and he dominated the Brewers' lineup? Those seem like the good ol' days when Wandy was hot, the price of gas was stable and Heidi and Spencer weren't trapped in a jungle somewhere. Besides that last bit, I'd like to see a return to those days.
