The 'stros have won 8 of 9, something like that (Braves & Cubs, I know). They're a club that's finally trying to recover from that horible spell in May. Berkman looks healthy, Oswalt's trying to get there, Pettitte's strung a few good outtings together, Lidge is only half mental right now, and Clemens comes back next week. Hopefully they'll add a bat before the deadline. I don't think they'll win the division, but they can contend for the WC. That's really good enough. Outside of the Mets, I don't see any dominant teams in the NL right now.
