    We had 11 baserunners through 8 today. We just werent able to get the right hit. Correa hit single too hard for Springer to score and Aoki hit a bullet right at somebody.

    These things happen.

    Very Ryan Anderson-esque.

    Time to hit the road.

    When you play Sweet Caroline in your home ballpark while the Red Sox are in town, your ass deserves to lose. Embarrassing.

    Did that happen last night or are you talking about the incident from a few years ago.

    If it happened last night I have a major f**king problem with it.

    When?

    That's inexcusible.

    Saw it all over twitter. My understanding is it was early in game. Maybe even right before game.

    So not during the game? In the 8th inning when they normally play it in Boston? (Which is when they played it here 2-3 years ago).

    I don't know when, specifically, for sure. I'm of the mind that it probably should NEVER EVER be played at MMP, and especially when the Red Sox are in town.

    It's not like doing something really rediculous like keeping the roof open during playoffs, now that would be crazy!

    I was off on my prediction last night, but I think the problem was not enough Julia. Need to show her more... that will ensure a win!

    I'm not sure but the Astros may be driving me into being bi-polar. I was so stoked about the road trip success. Now, I feel like sh_t because of the lousy home stand. I honestly don't know where this team is headed. It's going to suck if we relinquish our 11 game lead.

    Well, the good news is the Stros have performed well in nationally televised games this year.... tonight and tomorrow = nationally televised.

    Porcello has a 7+ ERA his last 2 games. Stros need to stat-pad against this guy, although they haven't faced him since 2014.

    The Astros are a top heavy rotation.

    The Astros are without their 3 best starters.

    They are lucky to have competed at all.

    Starting pitching hasn't been the problem lately, though.

    I never said "defensive baserunning". Picking off base runners is what I was referring to. Cool avatar. What show is that from?
