    I really do hope the new owner comes in and starts firing some people. Ed and Tal especially. They have taken a mediocre team and turned it into a pathetic team.

    CampbellChron Steve Campbell

    Tonight's #Astros lineup is a combined 8-for-45 (.178) with one HR, one RBI, 4 BB and 16K vs. Reds starter Edinson Volquez.

    Maybe a series worth? I'm not sure.

    As previously noted, tomorrow afternoon's game won't be shown on TV.

    Well, you get 27 minimum per game. Add in a few hits/walks and it's more like a game and a half.

    And wouldn't it be appropriate if we got our first win when they don't even bother to show the game, FSH opting for soccer instead?

    I think it will be on MLB Network. I'm not sure if it will be blacked out here though.

    I don't get tonite's game or tomorrow's afternoon game on DirecTV. That's probably good news but it wouldn't surprise me if the Astros break out and win when I'm unable to watch the game. Then, I'll start watching again and they will go back to suckage.

    That's okay. I'll glance at the box score from time to time.

    Bill Hall really struggling here in the early going.

    Astros making Volquez work. Best start to a game this year.:p

    True. :eek:

    Not sure what they're going to show but one of the 8 games they're choosing not to air.

    I hate the idea of Bill Hall batting 5th. The guy just isn't a very good hitter and the little bit of pop he does have doesn't really make up for that. I'd much rather see Johnson/Wallace in the #5 and #6 spots.

    Ive figured it out!

    The Stros dont like cold weather. Its 69 degrees in Cincy this evening. Its been in the 40's to low 50's in the first 4 games.

    And suddenly we have our first 4 run lead of the year (I think).

    Go Stros!

    You are correct. Will be shown (here in Houston too or so they say) on MLBN

    ------
    We'll be lucky to hold onto the lead.;):eek:

    Onhell is 2nd on this team in RBI. Thankfully that will not be the case as the other 157 games are played....

    I'm looking for a bounce-back for El Caballo, too.

    Was that the first balk of the season?

    It depends on the lot but generally $5-10.
