Little House of Pain for you on a Sunday morning. The wife is sick, so no church for us, which means I get to play with the new laptop, which means morning coverage of the Astros just got earlier. And I don't have to use my phone to update.
So sit back, relax, and get fired up, because the Astros are within two games of .500 for the first time since May 20 (when they were 18-20).
Bad news, though. The Cardinals acquired Mark DeRosa for reliever Chris Perez and a PTBNL. So they just got a lot better. And this comes on the heels of the announcement that they are working to acquire Matt Holliday.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
