    I blame the solar flare for this whole weekend.

    Yep, you'd think he'd have better composure than that, but he just fell apart. LMJ does the same thing.

    The team hasn't been able to recover this whole weekend after giving the game away Friday. It's not only losing but how they are losing. That coupled with feeling the heat of the Indians catching them and passing them up, the team is just not answering the challenge right now. Signs of lack of mental toughness.

    Ha, I just can't maintain an optimist attitude anymore. This franchise has done nothing to warrant it. Perhaps I'll just expect them to fail and see where that gets me ;)

    I think they're nervous knowing Verlander and t*** McGee are watching. It's obvious.

    I have as many PHD's as you do, so come at me bro.

    4 game series against the A's, they are averaging 9 runs a game maybe more because there are more innings to play. No team is going to beat a team that scores 9 runs a game except for a team (Stros) that beats on themselves. Verlander to the rescue.

    Dude, it's funny when it's appropriate. It's trollish crap when it's not. Know your limit, and post within it.

    The just look shook right now. I don't think it takes a Phd to see they are pressing, easily frustrated, the whole nine yards right now.

    It seems your sarcasm meter is about as good as the Astros bullpen...or perhaps you would understand better if I said it was TRASH! :D
