Default Great Lineup Today??
Astros' lineup today has six players with batting averages below .250 -
Biggio, Ensberg, Lane, Everett, Ausmus and Hirsh. How in the world
does Garner expect any runs from this lackluster bunch. I understand
the Phillies have a LHP throwing today but Huff and Scott hit them
fairly well. Looks like Garner throws in Ensberg and Lane with the
hope that this will be the game they break out of their season long
slump. Sorry Phil, it ain't gonna happen. See ya next year - if
you'll be back!

It's not like the Astros have a roster of .300 hitters to choose from.

He doesn't. I don't think he's delusional like that.

Unfortunately, he probably will be back. And so will Purpura. And
Biggio. And Lane. And Everett. And Ensberg. And Ausmus. And Pettitte.
And Clemens. So the Astros will have the same great rotation and the
same lousy offense and get the same results. At least Drayton is loyal.

They posted a graphic of the top 5 Astros in OPS the other day during a
game. Deshayes made a point of saying how pitiful it was... that some
of those guys were at the bottom of the league.

I saw that, and laughed because I was thinking the same thing when Bill
Brown was rattling off about the Astros leaders. JD was fast to the
punch, though, in responding as he did.

That's why I like those two.

Being paid by the Astros, I wonder if he regreted his comment right
after he said it?

I'd hope that McLane wouldn't be like Tribune and fire an announcer for
being honest, even if Steve Stone was a bit more brutal about his points
than DeShaies was.
