I looked up their numbers. Ensberg hasn't hit Webb well in 14 PAs. Lane and Scott have done better against Webb but in only 3 ABs, which probably isn't enough to go on. But considering the advantage you get on defense by not having Berkman in the outfield, it's probably a toss up.

I'm actually going to bed.

I never, even when threatening it, go to bed while an Astro game is on. But this week of WC start times and this shit has left me no choice.

Good night.

Tomorrow, I wake up to the big news....Brad Ausmus...player...manager.

There hasn't been one of those since Pete Rose, has there? Wonder what kind of a lineup card Ausmus would make out?

If it wasn't for Lee and Pence, there would be no reason to watch this team at all this year. Goddamn that guy is a hitter.
