Thanks, but we've been repeating that mantra since 2004. It worked out nice for a couple years, but it's freaking old now. They're my team, and they always will be. But right now, they suck.
You're right! Once we solidify our spot in LAST place, with NO chance of making the playoffs......we'll make one of those great turnarounds late in the 2nd half but it'll be another too little too late.
From a Jayson Stark article I read before last night's game: [rquoter]• It's amazing how many people believe the Astros, despite the promise of their rotation, could be the worst team in baseball. One big reason: They don't catch the ball. "If the center fielder (Michael Bourn) could play seven positions, they'd be all right," quipped one scout.[/rquoter] And I continue to be hopeful that we finally do it: [rquoter]• Two early names the same exec nominates as potential pitching targets, just based on the probabilities their teams will be selling by July: Wandy Rodriguez and Mike Pelfrey.[/rquoter]
No sh&t...what a waste..yes, its early, but before the trade deadline and near the end of the season, we'll still suck!!! I'll still wear my Stros gear loud and proud, but man, its going to be a long year...ugh
Nice start....but it's what happens late that kills the Stros. http://www.fromsportcom.com/v-2/2/136/v-233697.html
