Good thing Whitley didnā€™t fall out of his chair. Heā€™d be out 16-18 months.

My expectations are beneath the floor. Iā€™ll be thrilled if he can outperform Blair Henley.

Apparently heā€™s the only live arm on the 40 man?

Iā€™m pretty sure Whitley would miss time if he saw somebody else fall out of their chair

Who is Whitley?

Great question, Iā€™m glad you asked.

Whitley is a mythical being from days gone by. People have often wondered if he was real, the oracle Luhnow prophesied his arrival and we all waited for the day. As time went on, the prophecy faded into myth. The oracle disappeared and it seemed that Whitley too had disappeared. But then a new oracle, Dana Brown, appeared to tell of the long waited arrival. The prophecy had changed with the times. No longer was he seen as a savior but hope springs that he will bring something of value, however small.

It doesnā€™t look like heā€™s been exactly lighting it up in the minors. Heā€™s still only 26, though. This will be interesting.

Who would have thought it would take a six game game win streak to reach .500 18 games into the season?

During those/these times you look for other/any good storiesā€¦

There are a bunch of others, too. Seems to be legit.

Must-watch TV for Lunhow this evening.

It certainly jives with the start of the Astrosā€™ season, so far. Everything we once knew to be true has been turned upside down.

Whitley on the callup:
