The Astros drafted Jason Castro in the first round of the…er….um…wait…no, no, that’s not right. What am I supposed to be…oh yeah, right, the Braves. The Astros have to spend our country’s birthday in Atlanta. Sucks for them. Double suck as they just sleptwalked through a four game set with the Dodgers. On the plus side the Braves are riding a 5-game losing streak. Both teams are 40-46. Something’s got to give. What, I don’t know. There’ll be fireworks this weekend. Whee.
