That's very true, but Houston was not a public play and are not contending for anything.

the biggest difference i see is that Larussa was smart enough not to just throw him right in there (well that and unfortunately talent level) but i think giving the guy a day or two to get settled cant be a bad idea..he got to sit back and watch Wainwright do his thing and something wonderful usually happens when we get a pitcher no one even thought about...Myers has been very tough so im really not sure, i do think it will be low scoring and that we pull it out late but that could just be my biased talking.....

I think its worth a shot. I might take FF with Houston just in case they blow it at the end. Think Westbrook will come out a little nervous and might serve up some softball pitches for them to hit.

One thing to consider is Myers just got extension from Stros.. Initially that makes most guys sorry.lol

I've been fighting w/ this one since last night. I really want to take Myers.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet.

will the extra few days of rest help Westbrook?
how much weaker is the National League?

staying away, but the astros would be worth a shot

I like fading Aces, WEstbrook is nowhere near an ace

Bank I agree with this 100%, Myers has been on fire and I could see him possibly winning but I wouldn't just auto fade Westbrook because of the trade.
