For those of you who are too lazy to click the link and read the article, Ill quickly summarize. The article looked at pitchers who were the unluckiest so far this season; measuring their rate stats against league averages to define unlucky. Astros fans should not be surprised to find out that Roy Oswalt was the most unlucky pitcher in term...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252936&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: What's going ON- July 1, 2008 Ive sort of been at a loss for new articles to write. Stephen and I attempt to keep things as relevant as possible on here, and hopefully you all like the results. Obviously, Shawn Chacon is the biggest headline of the day. From everything Ive read, Ed Wade is a man who is honest and forthright with his players, and I can only assume that he and Cecil Cooper were going to try and handle this situation as professionally as possible. Chacon lost his spot in the rotation, and since this di...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252930&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Where there's smoke- July 1, 2008 We've touched on Cecil Cooper's....er...."unorthodox" (read: silly) managerial moves before (specifically: here, here, here here, andhttp://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252940&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Pretty Sweet Hat, Totally Excellent Cause- July 1, 2008 While I doubt this will have any real effect given our relatively low readership levels to MLB.com, but I feel compelled none this less. This is a pretty sweet hathttp://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252931&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Looking Ahead, part deux- July 1, 2008 Last week we apprised you of Jonathan Mayo's (the Draft Guru) mock draft results. Well, this week, Mayo has shuffled the board up a bit and is now calling for the Astros to have a shot at Aaron Crow, the RHP starting pitcher from Mizz...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252942&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Astros' Fire Sale 2008- July 1, 2008 A few days late and a few dollars short (does it work like that), but its better than nothing. Saturday morning, I opened the Chronicle to find Steve Campbells piece gracing the bottom of the Sports sections front page. I read the title, "Forsaking all to serve youth an empty answer" and I actually though it looked interesting and looked forward to it, foolishly. Ill start this off with a...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252932&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Reporting the Facts- July 1, 2008 Note: This is our centennial post.

We're trying to get away from Blogger, but having purchased the domain name through Blogger, couldn't reliably redirect the blog to the WordPress server. We apologize for the frustrations and hope to be able to make some sort of an upgrade in the near future, while not shelling out too much cash.http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252933&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Not Again, Not Again- July 1, 2008 Let's go back to Yankee Stadium. Innings before Lance Berkman was ever brought up, Carlos Delgado was at bat in the fourth inning with two runners on.

The ball ricocheted off the lower portion of the foul pol...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252946&src=rss I Remember Dome-Dogs :: Cecil Cooper Would Fail the Wonderlic Too- July 1, 2008 "We've been stealing bases all year," he said.
