I had tickets for the Astros game tonight, but Pettitte is pitching so I'm missing it. He's just been on fire this year, but here's a little-known fact...Everytime I've gone to an Astros game when Pettitte is pitching they have lost. Call me a Voodoo Sports Fan, but I'm not taking any risks! Still, he's been awesome this year...hell, all of them have been incredible! Roger Clemens deserves the Cy Young again this year - what he's doing is amazing! Not amazing for a 43 year old...amazing for anyone!

The Cy Young should never be given out just because of the W-L record. I know that it's not the only determining factor, but some voters will only see that. Clemens had no run support early on and that contributed to his losses/no decisions. The way he's pitching he should have a 15-18 game winning record right now. Too bad their offense was so impotent in the first few weeks.

The Astros need this game tonight to solidify the Wild Card lead. It isn't safe by any stretch of the imagination. A little more distance between them and the Marlins, Phillies and Nationals will be helpfu.
