Oswalt Struggling

I went to see my first regular season game of 2008 at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The Astros have gotten off to a troubling start and tonight was indicative of the kind of games they have been playing. Roy Oswalt, the best pitcher on the staff is now 0-3. In the third inning, leading 3-0, Handley Ramirez hit a ground ball to second baseman Mark Loretta. It should have been a double play to end the inning. Instead Loretta bobbled the ball and only got one. Then the Marlins erupted for 5 runs. They got three more in the 4th, knocking out Oswalt. He gave up four home runs in those two innings. The season is beginning to feel like the 2000 season.
