Ranking of Astros best relievers of all-time? 1. Wagner 2. ? Top 10 in WAR all time: Billy Wagner Dave Smith Brad Lidge Octavio Dotel Larry Anderson Joe Sambito Ryan Pressly Will Harris Ken Giles Dan Wheeler Chris Devenski is 11th, believe it or not. Devenski had two outstanding years to start his career. I wonder what happened to that guy and why Strom couldn't fix him... |

Honestly, he hadn’t done crap since that pop up homer against Boston in Game 1. I am so glad the Astros didn't up the offer to within range of Carlos' demands. Carlos might regret not taking the Tigers' offer I still wish we got to see how Peña and Correa together would’ve been. |

When I was a kid Sambito had a horrible September one season and finished it off by losing a playoff game at Dodger stadium. I usually remember that more than his career which is probably unfair to him

The scrolling bar thingy that had messages on it. Oh, I dunno. The code might have crashed. I'll check later if I remember. |

We've had so many closers and set-up men fail us in the postseason I hardly emoted by the time Giles and Gregerson were doing it. I remember one year Wagner had this great season and then wasn't available to pitch in October cause he was hurt I remember the year Dierker got fired. Wagner failed us that postseason too. |

So far this year the Astros are 2 games over 500 on the road. The only American League team more than 2 games over are the Yankees and they are just riding a hot streak. Are hitters are hitting horrible and we are winning on the road. That is a real good sign.

That's tougher than people think.... The quick answer is Springer, but, if Straw continues at this level for the price, that would be really good too. Especially since George is injury prone. I would also consider Cole but he's just so damn expensive for so long... |
