Update (12:32 AM) Stephen here. Having been in attendance at tonight's game, apparently there are a lot of Astros fans convinced we're still in contention. It's hard to say what is more depressing, that Ed Wade might try to acquire a free-agent reliever (Bud Norris, start packing your bags) or that we'd refuse to trade Geary to the Sawx for whatever they'd offer us from their well tilled farm system. Apparently the fact that we've won some games as of late has made the management and the "Astros Nation" forget that this is a team with a negative (57) run differential on the strength of averaging 4.33 runs per game while allowing 4.88 (Source. Those marginal .57 runs aren't from the bull pen (nor can they be made up from an bull pen acquisition) and Randy Wolf sure isn't going to make up for them either. I'm going to go to bed now and mutter obscenities under my breath.
Update (11:20 pm): Latest update is that the Red Sox have a scout in town for the Reds series, but not to watch Miguel Tejada. Geoff Geary is the more likely source of attention. Doubtful that he's moved, considering how Ed Wade has been actively searching for relief help since last week.
Update (11 pm): False Alarm. Should've known it was too good to be true.
Good morning (or night)!

The wrong time to be playing the Reds. The wins in this series, will harden Wade and Uncle Drayton's resolve to get us back into the playoffs this year!
It is just not going to happen. Please make a few moves to get us some prospects.

Our sentiments exactly, bford. Talks are intensifying with the Red Sox about trading Doug Brocail. We'll post when we know more, but that's the word for now.
