Could it happen?

The Astros have won 12 of 13, and are now only 4 games back of the Wild Card spot (0.5 games behind the Cardinals, by the way). I have no idea how they're doing it either. First Carlos Lee, our most consistent player this year, going down in early August. Then our starting pitchers (aside from Oswalt) start dropping like flies w/ nagging injuries. Then Ty Wigginton, who has been on a tear since Carlos Lee went down (12 HR's, 30+ RBI last month), is now out for 10+ days. Yet they keep winning.

In fact, two nights ago, a minor leaguer they had just called up and who was filling in for Wiggy hit the HR that won the game. Mark Saccamanno (no relation to Bob, Jay Reimenshnieder, Gomez, or any other of Kramer's friends for that matter) is winning games for us now? I'm speechless. I'm without speech. If the Astros make the playoffs, I'll be as blown away as anyone. Blown away, George. Blow-ow-ow-ownnnnn away...
