For the first time this decade, the Astros are not in a playoff race. Their best rookie, Hunter Pence, is on the DL, Brad Lidge has been a complete roller-coaster, Jason Jennings, acquired in an off-season trade from Colorado has been extra-mediocre, and Lance Berkman is having one of his worst statistical seasons of his career despite the giant insurance policy in the lineup known as Carlos Lee.
There is definitely the potential for light at the end of the 2007 tunnel, however. Biggio and Bagwell have giant contract numbers which end this year, so hopefully the Astros can go out and get a legit, mid-level starter to complement Roy O and Wandy.
Tigers and Cubs seem to be headed directly toward post-season berths, which make everyone reading this happy baseball fans, including giant Cub fan Kristen.
