The Astros might want to worry about Brad Lidge.  He's been awful lately.  Perhaps his ridiculous rookie workload is catching up with him.

Whatever it is, they need to fix it fast. He's a great young pitcher, but has looked awful in back to back games.

 

Might just be a Big Red Bump in the road. ;)

 

Now, what are the odds of Graves getting a 1 - 2 - 3 inning?

I dunno...Nomar has been with them for what 7 seasons?

 

I couldn't Imagine JETER in a non-yankee uniform...but Nomah? Yeah.

 

Like it matters, aside from Larkin...who else has been loyal to their team for a period of 8+ seasons?(currently i mean)...

 

I can only think of Thomas (chicago), Martinez (seattle) and C. Jones (Atlanta)...

Bernie Williams?

 

EDIT: Omar Vizquel I know has been there at least that long...Bob Higginson's been with the Tigers for a while...Bonds of course, Larry Walker...Bagwell and Biggio...that's all I got.

I guess it's more then I thought...

 

I do know that Larkin is the ONLY player to be with a team for 15+ seasons in the current era.

How long has he been around (I don't follow Yankee Ball)...I remember him in 1996 but not eariler then that...

I don't either. That's 8 years though, which is what you said originally.

Not quite. Edgar Martinez is in his 18th season as a Seattle Mariner.

That doesn't surprise me. Although it's tainted...weren't like 15 of those seasons all as a D.H?

 

 

At least Larkin played every season on the field and got a MVP and handful of Gold Gloves and even at the tender age of 40 is the only S.S without an error.

Make sure you stuff the All Star ballot box for Larkin, feller. :)

Martinez DHed full time beginning in 1995, so its his 10th season as a DH. Still, I don't see what the DH has to do with anything.

Castillo was on the '97 squad but did not play in the '97 playoffs. Jeff Conine played for both championship teams.

Edgar Martinez has been with his current organization far longer than any other player in baseball today. He signed as an amateur free agent with the Mariners in December of 1982, meaning he's now in his 22nd year in the Mariners system.
