Man this road trip is starting to suck. I pray the slumping team can turn it around soon. There's still quite a bit of time. But this sucks. Scott hasn't looked too bad out there, I'm happy to have him in Morgan's spot for now. I read that Morgan made the road trip to NY, I wonder if he is going to get any PT while up there? Today's game really hurt considering how close it was the entire time. I thought the stros were going to bust it open after 2HR's and 3 runs in the first.
Now, it's back to rehabbing. On Friday at Shea Stadium, Ensberg made 25 light tosses into a net in the batting cages, took 20 dry swings and underwent some rotator cuff exercises. He's eligible to come off the DL on Tuesday when the Astros return home to host the Reds, but it's highly unlikely he'll be ready. "It feels better," Ensberg said. "I still feel it. I really wish it would just go away." http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASAp...t_id=1568161&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou
Thanks for the post JYD. I heard on FOX that the Stros aren't going to turn a profit this season unless they make the playoffs, so they believe Drayton won't make anymore drastic moves. Huff and Clemens signing was it.
Still can't believe Garner still gives starts to Taveras. He sucks. How about moving Wilson to Center and Scott in left like you did on Saturday. Scott has had some best AB's on this road trip. How about giving Burke a chance at shortstop. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. This team will score no more than 2 runs today. You have 4 people in the lineup with a OBP barely over or under .300. Its a joke.
as a mets fan, im going for the stros cuz i want them to win the wild card so we can play them in the first round of the playoffs and kick that ass
This team, from top to bottom, has completely lost its focus. Roy is going to plunk Floyd... and Floyd is going to go after him.
Time for the Chronicle to dust off that tombstone picture. Flame away, but I have officially given up. They at least got me to within a week of Texans training camp.
You don't really want to face the Astros in the playoffs. If the Astros are in the playoffs, that means they have caught fire between now & then. And with a pitching staff that is more talented than yours, that would spell trouble for your team.
changes are gonna have to be made before the homestand. it's time to start planning for the future. period. i can't imagine purp and mclane are going to wait any longer. this team is brutal to watch, and it starts with its two biggest 40 year old losers who have no business stepping on a major league field, craig biggio and brad ausmus. i'd love to see mclane and purp grow some balls and get them out of my sight. 3,000 hits aint as impressive when it takes you 50 years to get there and you suck for the final 5 seasons leading up to it, craig.
We're 6 games back of the wildcard. It's much too early to just give up and start planning towards the future.
LOL. I knew the bases were loaded with Valentin batting so i turned on the TV and i saw a replay of Valentin's grand slam and i thought it was of today so i almost **** my pants.
man, all we have to do is scratch and claw and get one run here and there and i know we can pull this thing out....but noooooo...we can't get a run when we have a runner on third and less than two outs..... it seems as if the middle of the order gets on base then we have to depend on the bottom of the order to drive them in and thats not happening!
