The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gene Collier had, actually, a pretty good line about the Astros in today's column:
Somehow, at least for the moment, even this team's real problems aren't problems, really. You'd think it would be an issue when the worst team in baseball, a sorry Houston Astros edition that will soon need the Hubble Space Telescope to locate fifth place, still puts a lineup on the field that has six more home runs than Clint Hurdle's.
That's pretty good.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
