Once again, I was out of town for the series against the Pirates, so here's the series rap.

Game 1: Could have been better. at least it wasn't a landslide like with the cubs. The Pirates beat Houston 4-3. Roy Oswalt would have gotten the win had it not been for a three run 8th by the pirates. that really killed the Astros in this one.

Game 2: This will work. If we only could have done this to every team we faced every game. Josh Anderson came in for his first two hits, J.R. Trowles had his first MLB start and grabbed two hits and scored a run, and the bullpen actually held up! If we can have young guys like this contributing next year we'll be alright.

Game 3: Wow! I looked at the score and thought, "this can't possibly be right." Houston walloped the Pirates 15-3. You get Josh Anderson started and he just doesn't stop! He went five for five with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Ty Wiggington also had a good outing. He had two of Houston's three homers. Ty went was only a triple short of the cycle. To rap all this up, Brandon Backe got his first win of the season after pitching 6 innings.
