Well the Astros just pissed away a series in New Jake City but sit just 3.5 games back of the division leading Scrubs. The Brewers meanwhile are mired in mediocrity, two games below .500, but just took 2 of 3 from the Braves. I’m neck deep in the upcoming draft mania and actually like the Brewers so no grandness (right) and vitriol this time out. However, after looking over a few pictures I am moved to haiku.

Game 1, the Astros scored a bunch in the first that held up for a win. Game 2, the Jakes jumped on Wandy in the first and never looked back. The first inning played big again tonight but unfortunately, it was an Oswalt inning.®

Wondering about Roy?

Is Roy injured? Cooper reiterated on Wednesday that the right-hander is healthy.

Eny Cabreja made his triumphant return to the rotation Wednesday night, seeing action for the first time since April 19th. Unfortunately for everyone on the side of Good, this was a Road Start, and it was therefore Road Wandy who took the hill.

Moehler starting, Sampon relieving, Geary scheduled to come back early next week.

Cooper told Sampson “just not to think of it as a demotion. He’s got a chance to help us. Instead of one time a week, (now) it could be three times a week or four times. He might be an early guy. He might be anywhere, really.”
