    It's been all downhill since Click was fired and Crane got more involved in managing the team.

    For not doing research for you? You have the links. You are more than capable of doing research if you'd like.

    Teng is obviously gassed. He's never pitched this much. I think you have to give him a small break and then put him back in the bullpen.

    Well, to be fair, I did the research, you're supposed to present the findings. :)

    ...and, in case the winky/smilie things don't get my tone across: I'm just messing with you. I don't have a dog in this particular fight.

    Oh don't worry, I know!

    "Give me $50"

    "No"

    "Coward!"

    Teng is a long reliever. So is Blubaugh. Imai either throwing no-hitters or having trash outings is not good. Even when he has trash outings, I wish he could at least eat some innings.

    Eight batters and no 3B. Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it works.

    Delgado at 3B batting 9th got cut off.

    Not sure what the "good grief" is about.

    It’s Peanuts day at the park (like Charlie Brown, whose catch phrase is “good grief”).

    Well, that makes more sense. How cheap is a bag of peanuts today?

    I'm happy Hunter is back... but I don't think this game goes as many here thinks it'll go. :(

    Not what I was saying.

    I assumed he was talking about the lineup, then I looked at it twice, and couldn't figure out what he was complaining about.

    Maybe but I think Framber melting down is more likely than Hunter laying an egg.

    Not that it really matters, this season is cooked.

    Right? Watch this be a "Good Framber" game.

    Can you imagine being a Pete Rose degenerate gambler trying to pick this game? 1st start off the IL vs "Box of Chocolates" Framber?

    OK. I didn’t say Hunter Brown wouldn’t be a big improvement only that one pitcher can’t solve the Astros current pitching problems or turn them into a playoff team.

    Right now the Astros have only one starter in June who has an ERA under 6 and it’s Lambert.

    A rotation of Brown, Lambert, Arrighetti, and some mix of Teng, Imai, and Burrows with only two trustworthy arms in the bullpen is got significant problems.
