Are bats were completely ineffective against the amazing Brewer pitching staff. Wolf, does that name sound familiar? We are still hanging on to these outstanding players because we have a good chance of not possibly being the worst team in the major leagues. We will save that for next year. But I am positive. I think we could win a game any day now. We can be certain the Astros won't hit tomorrow because Oswalt is pitching. Paulino is now sporting 0-7 record. I wonder when they are going to try someone new? That is a novel idea. Amazing that I thought of it considering I am not a baseball man like Drayton McClane. The big two salaries, went O for 8 today against that stellar pitching. They certainly deserve a raise Drayton!

The funny thing is paulino is pitching ok, but defense and offense have killed this poor guy. Right now he is pitching better than Norris.

I have a hard time just watching these guys. The pitching seems to be ok. The offense however is offensive!

at least we are spared the agonizinglong drawn out "slow death"
and dashed hopes of getting that runner in....
Oh no!!!..Our guys have the dececny to get it over quick! 3 up, 3 down, over and over, and over again until Bourne or Pence get up and actually appear to be trying to win a game.
Seriously, if it wasnt for those 2 guys, we would just need to keep pitching to the other team until we got 27 outs and then go home. No need for our equipment manager to even haul the bats around.

Watching the Astros now and remembering how good they were 5 years ago makes me want to vomit. Drayton has single-handedly destroyed this team with his penny-pinching and poor baseball decisions. Letting Hunsicker get away and replacing him with a boob like Purpura has to be the worst personnel decision in franchise history. Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman are couple of guys who don't give a damn because they know the team is going nowhere. I suggest that Wade package Oswalt and Berkman and ship them to the Rangers for a bunch of good prospects. The Rangers can use Oswalt as their #1 starter and putting Berkman in a lineup with Josh Hamilton, Vladimir Guerrero, Nelson Cruz, Ian Kinsler, and Michael Young could send the Rangers to the playoffs and maybe further. Texas is trying to win and Drayton just wants to try to make money. I hope the Rangers win and Drayton loses his ass.
Nowadays, I normally turn off Astros games and watch the Rangers. I refuse to waste my time watching a team that doesn't give a damn. Drayton needs to get rid of every position player except Bourn and Pence and start over. The only way Houston ever wins again is if this fraud sells the team and gets the hell out of Dodge.

We are winning tonight. It would be nice to win this series. But I imagine something will go wrong tomorrow. Two days of good in a row would be too many for this team.

I have a hard time just watching these guys. Schlitz is returning. Maybe it is returning for a reason. To get all of us through this baseball season! Momentous events like the return of Schlitz have to be for a reason. Maybe Drayton McClane is financing the return of Schlitz to get us through 2010 Astros baseball. I am going to order an unlimited supply with my limited finances! |

Astros blew today's game that they could have won. Lance Berkman continues to strike out iwth runners in scoring position and then dragging his lazy ass back to the bench. Fat ass Lee didn't play today.......you know, day game after a night game and he ate too much after the game. Neither of the catchers on this team would be on the roster of any other major league team. Both are useless.

Just as I suspected, the Astros sucked and couldn't hold a lead again. I hope that they are cranking up production of that Schlitz. Maybe Berkman drank too much of that Rice, beer while he was going to school there. Now he is having trouble seeing the ball. Lee was too tired after the last game. He got two hits you know and had to drag that bulk around the bases. He was too tired to play. Drayton doesn't mind because Lee is Drayton's best grocery shopper.
