    If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you *are*! And you should know that!

    Amazing how a more controlled swing can allow one to see the ball better isn't it. That is the biggest change he is swinging under control and trying to hit it the direction the ball is headed instead of seeing how many times his helmet flies off during a swing.

    Yep... and they have a few more coming up. I think they're off almost every thursday this month.

    Should allow them to set the rotation how they see fit.

    For those who don't know much about the Keuchelangelo painting, it is a fascinating read about how it was discovered the painting is actually a dissection of the human brain, almost to perfection, and why he decided to do that as a slap to the face to the church without them even knowing he did it.

    You should have noticed him 2 weeks ago when he was hitting .364, .451 OBP and .636 slugging. :)

    Hope he succeeds. If anything, seeing guys like him, Villar, and JD play well elsewhere will hopefully encourage Luhnow to show even more patience with these guys on the 40 man roster versus the Chapmans and Peacocks of the world. Of course as soon as they get jettisoned, they'll start doing well elsewhere. Baseball is a cruel mistress.

    Grossman was given a real shot with the Astros and never developed much. He did walked a lot, but with very low averages. He also came this winter to Puerto Rico and was really bad with the team, he was released.

    Is not like Villar who hit .284 with an OPS over .750 who did show he belonged in the majors.

    I think Grossman is a 4th or 5th outfielder.

    Hey dude, people might cut you some slack if you stopped talking about non Astros **** in a thread where the Astros swept an old division rival on the road.

    You've had about 6 or 7 posts in this thread and maybe 2 of them have been about our current team. This thread is 22 pages long with real fans enjoying the sweep and discussing the team.

    Seriously, just go away.

    Nice sweep to salvage a near disastrous road trip.

    Stros showing they can beat good teams.

    Bottom of the lineup making a difference. Keep it up.

    He's talking about stuff related to the Astros. Why throw abuse at him? Does it make you feel big to join in with the big boys and pick on somebody?

    It's actually in the thread regulations set by the administrator that's starts the threads

    So instead of jumping on another poster, just kind of understand what the thread is supposed to be about and it will help keep controversy away

    Picking on?

    In game threads that the Stros do well in, he doesn't post much game related ****. That's not a problem unless.....

    In game threads the Stros do bad in, you find incessant posting about all of his dead horses.

    It's annoying for those that actually like to read game talk about our current team.

    You are bullying us. Do you not understand?

    EDIT: And I was not referring to Grossman, I was referring to your love bone B, Villar.

    See the part in here where it says series talk goes in here, and NON SERIES TALK goes somewhere else??

    Maybe follow the rules set forth by those who RUN THE FORUM instead of b****ing about us "picking" on your little boy
