It is looking bad at this point. It is going to take a rally to get us back in the game. I can't believe Harang has controlled our hitters. We can't get any clutch hits. He really had gotten beat up before this game. He is normally tough on our Astros.

Doesn't look like we are going for a winning record anymore. Towles had a good game. But I am sure he will be bad soon enough. Besides Bourn it a pretty lackluster performance. Tomorrow we will have to be lucky to win.

Dropped another game to the Reds. This is pretty disappointing. Pence sure hasn't been stellar this year. He made a three run error in this game. Anyway hopefully we don't get swept tomorrow.

Everybody has a bad day. Pence has had a pathetic month. Bourne had a good first game of the series. We all suck. I just hope we don't continue to suck. But I just have come to expect sucking.

This team will lose 90 games while we pay Berkman and fat ass Lee half the payroll.

I disagree....I think we will be over 500. If we could win 75 last year with that crappy team, we should do 5 to 10 games better with this years team.

Berkman has shown some spark. He came off of surgery and is down to work. It is what someone who is paid that much should do. He is a good man. I have read about him and his good deeds. Houston is lucky to have him and I hope we keep him. He will do well if he can, I am sure of that much about Berkman.

We are coming to the close of this series and behind 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth. Still plenty of time for something to happen. Right now Bronson Arroyo is beating the Astros again, and Oswalt has the potential to lose his first game to the Reds in quite some time. The whole scenario sucks. My money is that we lose. This game would make the Reds extremely happy.

We played awful the whole series, scored 8 runs in three games. Many of those runs were in the ninth in last ditch efforts when coming from behind was practically impossible. Oswalt has been having trouble in the 7th. I personally think they should take him out until they need him. We really have enough relief and even though it isn't perfect, there is no reason to have a tired pitcher out there throwing homeruns. Especially one that just about lost his mother a few days before.

SADoug, last year's team......as bad as it was......was better than this bunch. Carlos Lee was hitting even though he was still the same lazy, slob he's always been. This year he is just a lazy slob who isn't hitting. We have nobody to replace Tejada's bat in the lineup. We still have two worthless catchers who can't hit. Matsui is the same dud he's been since we signed him. Any pitching staff with Paulino in the rotation is bad.
The Astros are so bad that my sister was watching a soap opera yesterday and they were doing a scene that was supposed to be set in Texas. They mentioned that "the Astros suck" on this soap opera. The fact that the Astros are terrible is widely known. LOL LOL

Also, NOrris, he is NOT a starter, he is a reliever.

I think he can be a starter, but he needs to get more seasoning. He goes 4, 5 innings right now. It could be that he is losing his concentration and gets rattled.
