I guess they won't be missing Oswalt so much after all. It's amazing how inelastic my subjective idea of this offense has gotten; even after all the acquisitions and the recent Rick Ankiel renaissance, even though I am a basically rational observer of baseball who has never once called into a radio program and hasn't gotten truly angry at a baseball game since some time in 2005, I wasn't surprised when a rookie, who walked Mad Max-style out of the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is the Astros farm system, took a no-hitter five innings deep. I can't shake it: for the rest of the season I'll be imagining Chris Duncan and Rick Ankiel, even as I'm watching Matt Holliday and Rick Ankiel.
