Finally Back in NOLA

Got back yesterday. And now there's another fucking Hurricane gunning for the city. Shit.

On the bright side, the Astros continue to nullify any chance that they'll tank the season and show Ed Wade and Uncle Drayton that they need a lot more work to be a contender.

Tonight, Mark Saccomanno was called up for his debut. He's 28 (!), and, as I've said previously, it's kind of surprising they never called him up before. Anyways, he homered off of his first pitch. Pretty cool. Alberto Arias made his first start ever, and went 5 innings with 6 K's. Awesome.

So the Good Guys are 10 games over .500. Vastly overperforming all expectations (and run differential), so they'll probably come down pretty soon.

But it's entirely possible that the Astros could make it happen. All it takes is for three teams to collapse in the next two weeks. Not likely, but you can hope for it.
