    I was going to make a joke several games ago asking which would come first, the Astros' first win or the end of the Rockets' season...

    We need an astros fan suicide hotline. This is ridiculous.

    Well April and May should be the truly dark months because no player movement usually happens but then June and July should be interesting to hear all the rumors that pop up while August and September will HOPEFULLY show a lot of young players that were acquired at the deadline.

    How about this promotion?

    "At all remaining Friday night home games, one fan who has the courage to show up at Minute Maid Park will be randomly selected to get an at bat and another will get to pitch an inning in relief."

    Anthony Ranaudo. Jameson Taillon will be there too but he has a commitment to Rice that might scare some teams away.

    There's also some guy named Bryce Harper who's projected to be the No. 1 overall pick ;)

    0-8.....ouch. :eek: :(

    The Astros were the topic of SN poll on ESPN a few nights ago asking when our first win would be. At the time, most people thought against the cubbies. Hope so....screw the cubs.

    ...hmm....go....Astros

    I'd love to win it. I'd take every pitch in hopes that I could increase the Astros season walk total by 10% (or whatever it is) with just 1

    Sorry! You are correct. Is it bad that I'm waiting for the season to end already hoping we have the worst record? Lol.

    Anyway, 2011 has Taylor Jungmann who is lights out. Also quite a few other pitchers who will go real early as well. 2011 draft will be loaded with pitching prospects.

    Or they could go with another projected #1 overall in Anthony Rendon who plays 3rd.

    If you're a shortstop and need help fielding grounders, Towles is your man.
