Pitching wins championships and we simply don't have it. Oswalt is our only proven starter and Valverde anchors a shallow bullpen.  I like Rodriguez (at home) and Backe but they simply aren't seasoned enough to put together 12 wins a piece which we will need to succeed.  The bats will have to win a lot of games.  I am also interested in seeing how our defense performs this year.  Unfortunately, I don't think our pitching will get any additional help behind them (especially on the left side w/Tejada and Wigginton).  We are in for a long season.

Our pitching issues by far.

I'm in agreement with most of you guys, the pitching after Oswalt is the most bothersome for me. Hope we start off strong with a big win vs. Peavy and SD tonight.

no doubt it is the pitching overall.. would say #3,#4 and #5.. and also throw in the Valverde... so far just not seeing the offense i expected either... slow start by pence in the 2 hole not helping...i like the stros to finish somewhere near the top of the division..

Valverde's blown saves to get wins.  He must love his power guys to back him up.  Would be nice if he would just get some saves.

Most of those options worry me a lot, especially the injuries. Matsui's anal fissures and Backe's problems can cause some damage, but of course some damage is a lot of damage to the Astros.

Well, at this point in the season, I'd say none of us were right.

Who would have thought that Oswalt would be the problem?

But he's not. He just had the worse first 10 days of a season of his career. Give it time.
