Astros will start Bagwell at #6 hitting DH. Garner said he wasn’t falling victim to sentiment and I hope that is the case. Sure, we all want Bags to play, but I want to win the series more than see Bagwell in the line up. ---

Not only should Gromman not be allowed to sing the anthem again, he should be deported to Syria. ---

A split in Chicago would have been nice and it’s a shame to see such heroics wasted. The Sox are one tough opponent, balanced and consistent on both sides of the plate. You gotta bring your A game to even have a chance against them. ---

Yeah, and they should be allowed to crank the heat up to 94 degrees, and put caltrops in the outfield and land mines in the base paths. It’s their ballpark. ---
