There was some talk on the radio earlier this morning, about the possibility of the Houston Astros giving Craig Biggio some extended rest during the long road trips that are ahead.

For instance, if Craig Biggio were to be two or three hits shy of 3,000 hits and there were still 4 or 5 road games left to be played ( something to that effect ), the Astros might not start him in any of those games.

In that scenario, they might use him as a pinch-hitter during those road games, in order to get within one hit shy of 3,000 hits ..

Just to save 3,000 for Minute Maid Park ...

It's going to be an interesting scenario to watch unfold ..

Too many road games are in the way ....
