    First, a Texas man was exonerated after spending nearly 34 years in Prison... and now this big win. WOW, what a day to be alive!

    Astros are closer to a playoff bye (2.5 games) than Seattle is to the Astros (4 games).

    Pressly got his first win of the season (1-3). Sucks Hunter didn't get it, but at least his runs were unearned.

    love him or hate him, he is almost assuredly up for AL manager of the year.

    6-3 win. Thanks for the juvenile name calling, typical of posters with no recourse for discussion, what's your kids record now?

    Was that wrong? Dezenzo walked in what was ultimately the winning run.

    Great win. Hunter was dealing but the next guy up had already reached base twice so I get why Espada took him out. Stop using B. Abreu as your fireman though and only pitch him in clean innings. Neris is better with inherited runners and getting out of jams, use him.

    Funny how half the board called the L in the 7th inning and some said "good night".... yet the Astros won and those posters are still here.

    I'm one of those.

    I saw Espada's record in one run games and thought it was over.

    I was one and don't regret my decision to motivate this win into existence ;)

    I've been watching a long ****ing time so unless the team is void of talent I refrain from killing them off with ABs left, seen too much crazy **** to go there.....

    He gets way too much hate on here. People are just going to ignore the fact Dezenzo and Dubon came up clutch after everyone here said he was an idiot for PHing them against a lefty.

    Wasn't that Dezenzo's 2nd at bat?

    He wasn't pinch hitting.
