Want some good news about the Astros?
- Miguel Tejada now has a 16-game hitting streak and he's leading the NL in hitting at .362
- Felipe Paulino was outstadning last night, despite not grabbing his first win. He struck out the side in the first on just 15 pitches and was only in trouble in the 4th inning when he gave up the only 2 runs he allowed. The team won for the first time in his 7 starts, but I expect this performance to be a sign of things to come for a guy who is soon to be the Astros 3rd best starter.
- Michael Bourn continues to make progress as a leadoff hitter, table-setter, all-around disrupter. Last year his OBP was .279 as a leadoff hitter - easily the worst in the league. This year as the leadoff hitter, his OBP is .353.
- Tonight they go for a season high 4 game winning streak - tough to say if that is good or bad news.

You probably already know that Drayton McLane was not the owner of the Astros when they won the division title on Mike Scott's no-hitter late in the 1986 season. Wait til the :50 second mark and you should have your answer.
