I would consider 5 IP with 0 ER just as good as 6 IP with 2 ERs

Anyway... not really bitching about it, it just sucks. Cheap W's from relievers, and nothing from 4 starters who pitched great only to see it disappear.

I thought twice about Stauffer (11) vs Oswalt (18) but they've both been so terrific (again, despite Oswalt being an Astro -- sorry, Gina ) Guess it was a pitchers' duel anyway, but 1 win woulda been nice.

As for "burning" my starts, I still don't feel I am, really. (Talk to BAM about burning starts ) I have 3 guys on the DL. Today's guys just happened to all pitch today (how many days did I go without a start?). Today's numbers could've been A LOT worse! ; )
