    What's the point in that move? You have a .645 OPS guy hitting for a .642 OPS guy. Either the Astros roster is that bad or Cooper is in over his head as a manager. Either way - it looks like a long season for Houston fans.

    Its not like Erstad was the only lefty bat on the bench either.

    I think that's the point.

    Rudy Seanez has signed with the Phillies and should be in uniform for tonight's game against Moddy's Nationals.

    Seanez is trained in martial arts - so maybe the Phillies are planning a brawl.

    Maybe it was because Ausmus is a horrible hitter off Peavy in his career. Ausmus is a career .103 hitter against him with 11 strikeouts. In that situation, you want to try to switch things up and he put in Erstad, who is 0 for 2 in his career, with one strikeout. I would rather have a fresher hitter against Peavy that's marginally better than a hitter who Peavy has his number.

    Seanez also has one of the more interesting tattoos I've seen - that's how long he's been around. I haven't been in a clubhouse in years.

    If you're not going to use Erstad there, he shouldn't be on the team, which is your right answer; he's no worse than Ausmus, but this might be the fault of the front office.

    The Mets are 1-0 this season.

    That makes them 6-12 over their last 18 regular season games.

    And 5-7 against teams not the Nats.
    Lord, that may have been my favorite two series ever as a Nats fan.

    I don't know whose ass to kick first: the nerd who actually built a Lego replica of Miller Park or the TV station that decided it was worth airing.
