Nobody has played well enough to pull away in the NL except the Dodgers in the NL West.....whoever pulls it together can do a "Mine That Bird" stretch run like the '04 Astros or '07 Rockies and grab a playoff spot....the Astros have shown glimmers of hope but it's been one step forward, one step back....if they can win 2 of 3 from the Tigers and have a good road trip to the West Coast, they return with 7 against the Pirates and Nationals....by mid-July we need to reach .500, establish a dependable rotation and BP, & see a change in the lousy RISP stats....we're still a sub-.500 team at this point....
