    Some Astros let thier heads get big after winning the chip. Time for these fools to start putting in some good hard work.

    Wow, the Astros are not looking good. What they don't want to happen is that the teams in their division build a huge lead early. Fortunately, that has not happened "yet."

    Poor start.

    World Series hangover?

    Many years of deep post-season wear and tear catching up?

    Just baseball variance?

    Who knows. Can’t wait to get Altuve and Brantley back though.

    Maldy was the one who said he would refuse to play if the Astros signed a veteran catcher to start over him. 10 mil for Vasquez would've been such a steal. and now we're stuck with this tub of lard who can't do anything competently.

    Why not let Julks bat over Diaz whose hitting .000? To me, that would have been a perfect spot to have Yuli bat.

    Looking at the Astros bench today…. Dubon is the only non-rookie? You gotta have more choices. Losing Yuli who wanted to stay. Astros have the money. Good luck with that decision.

    Again, it’s not even 10 games yet. We’re missing our undisputed leader in Altuve and Mr. Consistent, Uncle Mike. We will be just fine. Obviously no one wants to start 3-6, but I guarantee that last year they had at least one (if not more) stretches of a 3-6 record over a 9-game stretch. This one just so happens to be at the beginning of the season.
