I remember when Oswalt was on the verge of the record until he was traded.

but it was in the paper so it must be true. http://m.astros.mlb.com/news/article/216622372/roy-oswalt-offering-advice-to-astros-pitchers/

I think that JG was being facetious. Joe Niekro is the all-time leader in wins with 144 as an Astro.

Exactly. That is an embarrassing mistake for a long-time beat writer to make.

Isn't Dierker the Astros' all-time winning pitcher that managed the team?  Maybe that is what he meant.

That's like saying Bob Watson hit more HR than any other Astro that was the GM.

And Tommy Aaron hit more HR than anyone else whose brother hit more than 700.
