    A plumber would be appropriate considering the turds the Astros have been taking lately.

    The best part of JR's tweets..... the inevitable "CHRIS CARTER HAS TURNED THE CORNER!!!" garbage we all knew was going to creep back up from Hinch.

    Carter must have seen Hinch or Luhnow run over a toddler or something.

    Every single one of these tweets made me sadder.

    Seriously, it feels like the Astros have faced Sonny Gray in every A's series this year.

    This will be the 4th time we have faced Gray this year. In his lone start at MMP this year he went 5 innings and gave up 3 earned runs.

    I wonder how the Elston family feels that they put on a patch for Milo but not Gene.

    That's kind of horrible, if you ask me.

    I hear ya

    But to be fair, Elston hasn't been with the club for 30 years

    Milo just retired a couple of years ago, Crane knew him personally, and he still made appearances. A few guys on the team (Qualls and Castro at least) knew Milo pretty well. Milo was close to some of the more recent Icons like Biggio and Bags...I don't think it was meant to be any kind of a slight on Elston, just been so long...

    25 years, and was there from the inception of the franchise. he's a huge piece of astros history and deserves every bit of the same tribute that milo does.
