    When you win 10 in a row, it calls for a properly obnoxious celebration

    Yawn. Nothing is more annoying than "I Told Ya So's" from beat writers, who can just make the claim that they "told us so" because of their platform, whether they did or didn't.

    No rational mind wanted to bench Gattis after 4 games, or while we were winning in spite of him.

    Astros need to start marketing on TV more.

    Get the fans back in the seats. It has been steadily improving but this team deserves better crowds than what they have been getting.

    The team has been bad the last several years. It'll take more than a few weeks of good play to win some fans back. Give it another month.

    exactly, no one was really clamoring for Gattis to be benched. We all knew his potential and that he was experiencing a slow start. Of Course it helped that the team was hot but still... SMH.

    P.S. Springer could see the bench perhaps for a game :grin:

    Get it going son!

    also that Springer out at home? Turned out to be huge...game difference maker right there. I take it back, no bench for Springer :)

    Astros only team in MLB to win every game they have had a lead in.

    I'm ready to see Correa

    But it's pretty obvious that we are never going to lose another game anyway so I guess it doesn't matter that much

    Holy Wow this is fun

    Stros are 17-0 this season when leading at any point in the game. :eek:

    He should be the odd man out if they call up a situational relief pitcher.
