A mere 30-11 the rest of the way.

Catcher can't hit.

But the fielding in left improved..half of the time.

Apparantly Dick Justice does:

"Did you see Cecil Cooper has picked up my 90-win mantra. I challenged the boys to finish 36-13 last week. They're off to a 6-0 start. That kind of thing shows you how competitive people will take up a challenge from someone they see as their equal in terms of good looks, charm and athletic ability."

So...the other half of the time...the Astros are trading defense for offense?

I would really love to see how long it would take before I got bored with kicking Justice in the swingers.

I know in my case it would be when you would have to change the euphemism from "swingers" to "retractors".

Depends.  Is Wiggy better than Carlos at d?  Is Erstad better than Wiggy at o?  And what about 3rd base?  Man this fantacrap is hard.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.
