    Yeah, that's a shithole stadium too, but at least it's a shithole we play well in.

    Ya I'm resigning to the fact that the Astros are going to lose 3 of their last 4 to the Orioles and Whitesox.

    I really thought this team could reach 110 wins. I saw that schedule and was overly exited.

    Since this game is a tad frustrating and boring, and thinking back on @Wulaw Horn's post about his ideal WS lineup...what would your all-time Astros batting order be? Just like this game, fielding doesn't matter.

    C Biggio
    2B Altuve
    1B Bagwell
    DH Berkman, with Yordan closing fast
    LF Alou
    3B Bregman
    SS Correa
    RF Springer
    CF Cedeno

    Short on LHB

    This is one of the worst offenses in the league and they can't get one 1-2-3 out inning?

    Zero clean innings so far.

    Amen to that Brotha !!!!! Now they have to fly across the United States to play a good hungry A’s team. Baseball is truly a game of circumstances.

    Chirinos just flashed the Rangers antlers symbol after getting a hit. DFA immediately.

    Launch angle sucked, only went 370'.

    Do we still count this as a HR, @PhiSlammaJamma ?

    WTG Yuli. We should be able to take 2 of 3 from these scrubs. We can do this. Keep the line moving we need some more runs.

    He's certainly been hitting like it lately.

    Yea...but these bad teams draw extra incentive to do well against one of the top teams in the league to prove self-worth and make it seem like they aren't as bad as their record per self-gratification. Somewhere, they get that extra oomph and do more than they normally would do. That's just the way it goes, dude. Now, they can claim they are not as bad as their record indicates. Blah blah blah. It's like Baltimore celebrating their walk-off the other night like they just won the World Series. Good for them. Now, go back to being the bad team you are.

    You have all the right guys, it’s just a question of how quickly Yordan replaces Cedeno on that list.

    Take the boy out of the Rangers, but can't take the Ranger out of the boy?

    Put Berkman in RF, Yordan at DH? Sorry George.

    Cedeno was really ****ing good.

    I guessing people are over the 23 run game not getting recognized? Losing 3 of the last 4 will do that. #Priorities.
