    Zambrano hasn't really found the strike zone tonight...they gotta make him pay this inning after drawing a leadoff walk.

    This umpire might be worse than the one yesterday. What a complete joke. This is two straight days where every single remotely close call goes against the Astros.

    Blue Star for Luke Scott!! He is doing everything well. Roy O could be down about 6-0, pitching poorly. :(

    Yet again... think about if Scott had delivered that double last inning when we had a runner on base. If only...

    Luke is still hot. Too bad he's got nothing but crappy offensive players hitting behind him. But hey, maybe they'll get lucky this time!

    6-4-3 or 4-6-3? Anyone care to venture a prediction?

    AUSMUS IS GARBAGE !!!

    I mean GARBAGE....we have 2 easy outs in the 8 and 9 hole and 7 is not much better.

    Teasing the fans then falling 3 in a row....pathetic.

    No doubt about it.

    There's absolutely zero reason to let Ausmus bat with a runner on base and under two outs. None. Put the bunt down and get out of there.

    Another Muther F'n double play. Just don't let Ausmus bat in these situations anymore. The double play is automatic.

    I hate Ausmus. Yeah, ok, "he's a great catcher, calls a great game" but he is so God awful in hitting situations that he totally offsets his ability to call a game. Hell, he doesn't even throw well anymore. Major weak link in the lineup.

    Guys, I hate to say it, but this loss, should it happen (shutout against the Cubs, double digit LOB, inexcusable lack of execution with RISP) is very similar to the one in early July against Sean Marshall that sent us in a tailspin for three weeks. Uncanny similarity.
