best regular season team ERA since 1991. exceeded regular season expectations. of course none of that matters now, its a new and more important playoff season.

As for Oswalt, you can't plan for injuries.. his last couple starts have been outstanding. he's back hitting his top fastball speed.

"The Astros will pay $11 million of the approximately $23 million that the 32-year-old Oswalt is guaranteed through 2011, sources told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark."


so 12 million total for 1 1/2 years of Oswalt is a great deal.
