    It's amazing this team is even 15 games over .500 if we are being honest. Well, about to be 14 games but still....

    Yeah, but Espada does get the chance to lose a winnable game *and* his closer for the next game.

    Right - which is why I don’t like him pitching his closer in a tie game. I know that it is a popular thing to do but I don’t like that it is the default for the Astros.

    Snapping a 3-game win streak while holding a 3-game lead in the division on August 30 does not wheels coming off make...

    Yes, especially when you have injuries and talent limitations.

    Watch one of these losers hit a 2 run homer now that the game is over

    You are right. They have one month where they weren't a .500 team.This is who they are.

    This Astros offense has a micro penis.

    Abreu was at 12 pitches when the score was 3-1.

    You can't make this crap up.

    I don't care what happens the rest of the way, Joe has to be fired at season's end.

    The Astros have been involved in a lot of close games and they have won most of them. The lead is three games - had the Astros played a little more consistently the last month, they would be up 7-8 games… still plenty of time and guys coming back.

    Does Diaz have to swing at everything?
    It's amazing that no one can talk to him about this.
    He shouldn't get a pass like Altuve .

    Tough to win games scoring 1 run.

    Seems like were mainly collecting singles and going station to station.

    The only bullet we have left is Meyers and I've been seeing more about Cole at AAA than him.

    Right... In other words, they are doing a remarkable job at keeping the wheels on.

    Abreu threw 28 pitches, Santos 4, not much difference between 28/32. Let him clean up his mess. If he can’t get it done against a last place team tonight I’m not too worried having him be available for a day game to tomorrow. He looked like **** today. This offense better find a way to score some ****ing runs. FTR, I agree with you but again, if these guys have a 1 run lead tomorrow or are tied, AGAIN…..
