A lot of things broke well for the Astros in 2008: Brian Moehler, Randy Wolf, LaTroy Hawkins, Ty Wigginton, Darin Erstad and the rest of the wise men, and Wesley Wright. A few others didn't. In no particular order they were (be sure to click ahead and see the full pictorial essay before you vote): Hurricane Ike, who's wind and rain put out the Astros white hot streak? via www.sciam.com Bud Selig?...

The days when the Astrodome was about the worst pitcher’s park in the major leagues are long gone, but Minute Maid Park isn’t exactly as extreme a hitter’s park as you might think. This year, Houston has been the 14th-best hitter’s park in the majors, inflating runs by a factor of 1.034; in 2007 and [...]

Well, I’ve been thinking that Brian Moehler is getting tired having thrown a LOT more innings than he has in a couple of years and tonight he didn’t [...]
