Don't know what to say

This is hard, folks. There's no way of sugarcoating this. The Astros are playing bad baseball, and we had a terrible sample of that this Sunday, handing the game over to the St. Louis Cardinals. Wandy Rodriguez, probably the best thing they have on the starting rotation these days, was starting to show some wear and tear. He got runners on base, which were driven in home thanks to defensive miscues by Ty Wigginton and Michael Bourn.

Thing is the Astros have mediocre starting pitching, which is made only worse due to the bad moment Roy Oswalt's going through. Add that up to the offensive drought we're seeing by guys not named Lance Berkman. Big Puma is having a career season, but he can't do much alone.

J.R. Towles was already demoted to Round Rock, José Cruz designed for assignment and Bourn could be next in a bus to RR. Things should change. Must change. But I can't really see it with the starting pitching the Astros have these days.
