In preparation for the winter, I'm going to start a brief series about infielders the Astros could potentially acquire to bolster the lacking infield. Third base and shortstop are completely up in the air, especially the former. And since Kazuo Matsui can also play...

I think John Smoltz injuring himself while ironing a shirt he was wearing is less embarrassing than Kaz Matsui having to report this. Hemorrhoids! For once, I'm with Bill Belichick. Let's just list everyone on the injury report as "Probable" and move on.

Even with $9 tickets, Arizona only managed a near-sellout. I don't know if that's a testament to Arizona having a terrible fan base, or if those who stayed away should be commended for avoiding what is sure to be the Worst NLCS Ever. Why would anyone want the Diamondbacks or...
