Forgot to mention in the $.35 edition and in the Journal that Roy Oswalt has been scratched from tomorrow's start for the Astros because of a strained left oblique muscle. Right-hander Juan Gutierrez will make his first major league start instead. Gutierrez pitched against the Nationals out of the bullpen on Monday.

Also: Manny Acta said there's a "very good chance" Ryan Langerhans will be called up when rosters expand Sept. 1.

These Astros: Not very good. Your lineups:

Washington:
Lopez -- 6
Logan -- 8
Zimmerman -- 5
Young -- 3
Kearns -- 9
Pena -- 7
Belliard -- 4
Schneider -- 2
Bacsik -- 1

Houston:
Biggio -- 4
Pence -- 8
Berkman -- 3
Lee -- 7
Wigginton -- 5
Scott -- 9
Loretta -- 6
Ausmus -- 2
Williams -- 1

So the recent discussions y'all have had about Logan and his future and Schneider/Flores, etc., have got me to thinking about rolling out a series over the next week or so, breaking down each position with stats and contract status, etc., and then letting you guys discuss the future of each position on this team. Would y'all be interested? I might start it up by the weekend if you are.

Enjoy tonight's tilt. Bacsik vs. Woody Williams.
