    Or probably a combined no-hitter if he's on a pitch limit

    Players almost pulled Hinch's head out of his ass, but it just wasn't to be.

    Chris Carter is going to hit 40 HR's this season.

    Shoulda kept him to bridge the gap to Reed. Dirt cheap.

    Instead they went into the season with less than nothing at 1st. Other than a hail mary as a product of a great spring by White.

    Springer is the definition of a streaky hitter. That's why I never envision him being a consistent high average hitter because for every hot streak he follows it up with an ice cold one.

    It's not easy obviously for this Stros team, but you got to think maybe once they could do it. It's just sad when a major league team keeps failing at bringing a run home from 3rd with 1 out against the same damn team.

    The Astros certainly have a fetish with losing 1 run games to the Rangers.

    Seriously though stop showing that commercial where Gattis(talking about Correa) I hate sayin this but it might be true I think he could be the best to ever play the game. Stop It!

    Not really a soccer fan, but this is nice

    Even the '95 Spurs crushed the Rockets mostly that season.

    I think the city is cursed for sports. I just hope things work out.

    Being sarcastic made you right. It was a great try.

    You bashed Gomez while making no mention of his HR. Even if you weren't online at the time, surely you knew about the HR by the time you posted. Did the broadcast/mobile device not show/tell the stat? He was batting.

    Seems you'd rather be right than win games.
