    James likely unavailable tonight given recent usage

    You knew we were in trouble when this became a bullpen game. It was a question of when, not if, the fort fell. Disappointing nonetheless. Better show some f-ing pride and have a better game later today. Offense needs to return the favor.

    Real Astros fans don't overreact especially considering the following...

    15th game in a row without a day off
    Players likely didn't get to bed until 4 or 5am
    Unplanned bullpen day with a bullpen that's been taxed lately
    A's had their ace on the mound

    I'd be lying if I said I was worried about The Astro's, or mad after last night's game. Mainly because its The Astros, out of nowhere they can at any moment unleash some absolute unfair punishment to the opposing team. I would not be surprised if today is a lopsided win for Houston. Yeah they lost last night, and by alot but it also only counts as a single L..... No big deal, been here before... Astros win the World Series this year so head to Gallery furniture...

    I actually don’t think they finish the season on a hot streak. They’ve got some nagging injuries (Bregman, Tucker, Alvarez, Maldy, Castro), some guys are noticeably worn out (Gurriel), young players probably playing more than they ever should (McCormick/Meyers), and pitchers pitching more than they ever thought they would this year (Garcia, Graveman).

    I think they’re just trying to secure that #2 seed and get healthy for the playoffs.

    I like that you didn’t mention Brantley. JMO but I think they’re hiding behind the log with Mike and giving him some extra rest ahead of the playoffs but I agree with the rest. Get that #2 for sure

    Thanks for the laugh. Sports Fans are defined by over reacting. Otherwise they wouldn't be fanatics.

    I want the HOT STREAK to begin October 7 and end with a WS Victory. I'm fine with 500 ball until then.

    Astros just swung at every pitch that inning. I think they want this season to finish asap.
