    It is obvious why Mills is still the manager. Astros are determined to clinched the #1 draft pick.

    I have watched 3 games recently where we were winning in the 9th and end up losing it. Damn we suck but hang in there guys.

    The longest losing streak the 2003 Tigers had was 11 games. 11 also matches the longest losing streak in Astros history, previously set in 1995. Let's see if we can surpass both marks tomorrow.

    With this move and the promotion of Armando Galarraga, two 40-man roster moves need to be made.

    splash?

    This sounds like another guy who's going to eat up Brett Wallace's time at 1st. I don't get it.

    You guys think Astros trade Chris Johnson? I say they should. He is 28 and could probably bring back 2 decent prospects. I want to see Matt Dominguez as the everyday starting 3B and see what you got with him.

    ha. i don't think 2 the general caliber of those we have been acquiring is that outlandish.

    28 and maybe a tick above average? if somebody needs a 3b, i could see it. he did say DECENT prospects, not good.

    Is Mills infatuated with our bullpen or what? Hard to believe he couldn't have left Galarraga in for 1 more inning, unless he was on a pitch count.

    only team that only turns a double play on what should have been an easy tailor-made triple play.

    of course they end up scoring there
