For the second game in a row the bullpen blew games for the Astros tonight. Last night it was Lidge and tonight Dan Wheeler blew late inning leads. I know it's only the second game of the season, but it's going to be a long summer if they don't get these issues worked out. Two great pitching performances by Oswalt on Monday and Jason Jennings tonight just waisted.
Props to the Pirates though, they kept fighting and are going to be an exciting team to watch this year.

Lidge had issues last season too, did he not? Boy, I wonder if hell ever be right again.

He had huge problems in the playoffs and World Series the year before also.
He actually lost the closers job last year and I have a feeling he is going to be on a real short leash this year too.
