You've got 243 home games left to enjoy the wonder that is Roy Oswalt

This isn't something that should be too much of a surprise, but everytime he reiterates it, I throw up in my mouth a little bit...

During an interview at the Astros’ invitation-only party Wednesday night hosted by team owner and Temple businessman Drayton McLane, Oswalt said he wants to fulfill the remaining three seasons of his contract and then retire from baseball - at 34.

Run-DMc said this: “We drafted Roy in the 23rd round (in 1996) and nobody knew who he was. I believe he’s now one of the three or four best pitchers in baseball,” McLane said. “We’ve spent more money than most teams to keep our top-notch players here.”

I'm calling bullcrap.
