Burke vs. Biggio
Why isn't Burke starting over Biggio at second base? I'm a huge fan of
Biggio over the years but he has had a dreadful second half of the season. The Astros still have a shot at the wild card and I don't understand why Garner continues to play Biggio, especially on the road. David

Speaking of tanking, have you noticed how Luke Scott's OPS and AVG have nose-dived? He should be back at Round Rock helping the Express in the playoffs and trying to get back in the groove. Struck out three times last night. Doesn't have a hit yet (only 8 AB) in September after cooling off (as in Ice Age) in the last couple weeks of August. Quote:
Right now, I don't think it matters which of them starts at 2B because neither is going to make a significant difference offensively. The Astros will continue trotting Biggio out as long as he wants to play, which will be at least through the end of next season.

Yes, his OPS and AVG have "nose-dived"...at least in comparison to what he was doing earlier. What a slug..he couldn't keep on that .400+ roll. Instead, over the last 30 days, he's *only* batting .319, abd his OPS has "nose-dived" to 1.035. (all according to mlb.com). Meanwhile, your hero, Preston Wilson, hit .225, with an OPS of less than .500 over that same time period. I know I said I would ignore you, but when you make it this easy, I just can't resist. Oh well, back in the stupid file you go. And this time, you truly earned it. ML

Oh, and just in case you want to invoke the famous Chico "I'm not talking about the last 30 days" tap-dance... Last 7 days...Scott is hitting only .273, but his OPS is 1.247 (slugging at .818). That is hardly "minor league level". Meanwhile, over that same stretch, the "Object of Your Obsession", Preston Wilson, is batting /190, with an OPS of .560. BTW, I made a mistake on Wilson's OPS over the last 30 days. It's a whopping .753. Pretty pedestrian, but still better than the .500 I gave him credit for. Either way, both Scott and Wilson are doing a damned-good job of validating the Astros' decision to release the latter. ML:

mlb.com doesn't offer that split. See my other post for the last 7 days. Still 83 points better than Preston Wilson. Quote:

Take responsibility for your lack of self-control and stop blaming me for your character defects.
