Hope it is a good thing.  I used to call him Nervous Neris.

Astros sign relief pitcher Hector Neris. He will be available for today's game.

Houston sent down RHP Alexander to AAA to make a roster spot for Neris.

This is Neris third stint with Houston. He pitched for the Angels and Braves this season.

About time the Stros found some relief help. Saying that for a distant relative I've never met.

Well 6-4 win over Dodgers Framber 10-4 pretty good and Hader 24 saves.

Stros 12-2 on first place teams

Win the series from the Dodgers. They face Brown tomorrow. Let’s get the sweep.

Believe that's 25 for 25 in save opportunities.

I can’t keep up with the rotation. It was a guess. Sorry for being misleading. I wonder what Orel Hershiser’s excuse is for loss #2?

Hmmm...Valdez gave up two homeruns on his curve balls. He had given up two homeruns on curve balls his previous 56 starts (if I remember that correctly)....it's like they knew it was coming.

It didn't do them any good to know though.  It's always nice to beat the Dodgers especially there.

Everyone knew Nolan Ryan was coming with a fastball, but he got 7 no-hitters, 12-1 hitters, 18-2 hitters, and 31-3 hitters. 5 of the 1 hitters went to the 9th before being broken up. Amazing how knowing what is coming didn’t hurt Nolan.

Must have changed it. Gusto pitching for the Stros.
