    We can only hope one of these late breaking bombs is Britton to Astros?

    If Astros somehow win the AL pennant, they might get swept by the Dodgers in the WS

    Dodgers a beastly team.

    I was casually rooting for the Astros this year for family, too bad they didn't pull the trigger. The division lead doesn't matter. I'm not convinced the Astros have the pitching to to win in the playoffs.

    You were disappointed with them acquiring a very good left handed starter (Kazmir - 2.38 ERA, 1.09 WHIP), solid CF in Gomez and a solid back of rotation guy in Fiers?

    At some point the mindset of where we were when he got here has to change to win now

    He traded prospects other people drafted two years ago, since the farm became mostly all "his" guys, he has been extremely hesitant to move any of them

    The roster is only allowed 25 players, no matter how much talent you have below

    I don't think the ASTROS are convinced. But still not enough to make a deal...

    Luhnow completely wet the bed today. Opportunities like this are not guaranteed and he failed to maximize our chances of winning it all. There is a long list of teams that thought they had developed their farm system to ensure a contending team year in and year out, and it rarely plays out that way.

    Guess what.. Keeping all of our elite prospects didn't move the needle towards the WS. To all of you saying how Gray or someone wouldn't move the needle.

    Wow. If we make it to the World Series do the Dodgers White Sox us ?

    I do wonder what the players in the clubhouse think seeing all these moves and us standing pat. Are they cool going to war together like all year or do they think we screwed the pooch? Their mindset concerns me.
