    Yes, it would be good to see the Houston Astros win another world series. They deserve it.

    Toothpick on the right, fastball; toothpick on the left, curve.

    All that money for fines means less to spend on bullpen.

    Perfect managerial choice.

    He just started rubbing his right arm and has no idea why.

    So much for Houston's vaunted commitment to analytics!

    I interviewed Dusty once - it was this kind of random event and we started talking about who we looked up to as kids - he started talking about how he loved watching The Untouchables as a kid, but he was really into Frank Nitti (seriously) not Ness. He wanted to know what motivated a guy like Nitti. He knew why "good guys" were good, he grew up in church and all - but was fascinated by "bad guys."

    That was for him, not Houston.

    Dusty has spent a lot of time since the Nats canned him watching Darren Baker play at Cal. Maybe J.T. Snow will fill that role now.

    Geez, I thought MLB was done punishing the Astros.
