The season has started! Baseball is finally here! I have waited five months. I have sat and read the same type of articles over and over again for five months. Constantly checking the Astros website for something new, watching the MLB website for trades and the new young guys coming up. The wait is over and the season is here. I am extremely excited.
It feels weird to be excited and pissed off at the same time. Giving the ball to Roy Oswalt six times in a row for opening day is sweet music to all Astros' fans, except for yesterday. Oswalt lasted 5.1 innings and gave up 3 earned runs with 11 hits. He is one hit away from tying his career high on hits allowed. This is very unlike Oswalt.
I can live with the Astros only getting 4 hits because we were facing the reigning Cy Young winner along one of the best bullpens in baseball, but Oswalt's performance? He was facing one of the worst hitting teams in baseball!
For all the Astros' fans, lets pray Oswalt hasn't taken a turn for the worse and this offense Ed Wade purchased can turn around, after facing San Diego's Peavy, and threat 1,000 runs for the season.
