Bad Baseball

5,175 fans went out to see bad baseball in Florida tonight. Some college programs draw that many fans.

The Astros continued to play pitiful baseball, wasting good starting pitching with a bullpen that gives up hits like it's batting practice.

This is not a very good team right now. Gerry Hunsicker and Jimy Williams can continue to talk about being "contenders" if they want, but at this point they're not even close. Fortunately, it's a long season, and there's still time to round into shape. But the bullpen, outfield, and left side of the infield really need to help out.
