Astros-Marlins Round II
Following a dismal 2-4 home stand, Houston hits the road today for a mid-week tilt with the Fish. Didn't we just do this last week? Indeed we did! After winning the first game, we saw Dontrell Willis pull a 180 and shut us down in game two. Then Octavio Dotel pulled a Mitch Williams in the rubber game.
The Astros bats have been abysmal lately. So naturally, I expect them to sizzle like a Jack McKeon stogie in the dead air of Miami. That's how baseball works. Of course Houston pitches a banged-up Whitey Miller, Tim Redding and a hard-luck Roy O, who hasn't won in his last five starts (not entirely his fault), so the bats better show if Houston wants to avenge last week.
Foghorn pulls relief duty in the OWA preview. Good stuff, especially this gem:
And here I thought that he just blazed apple-flavored tobacco from a hookah.

“Hey, is that Ricky Williams toking a fattie in the stands?”
