    Why boo Gomez? He didn't trade for himself.

    I love Gomez, besides Future (Correa) he's my favorite on the team. This team is not playing very well as a whole and Gomez is unfairly getting a whole share of the blame. I love the passion, fun-loving style he plays with. He's obviously injured and doesn't want to operate on his hip because it would kill whatever open market value he had this winter but Gomez hasn't been the same since his foul ball hit that kid in Atlanta. He's always been a plus centerfielder but its obvious this season he's laboring and that its affecting his decision making, I've never seen a guy bunt with clear bases and that has been his signature this season. I think once he deals with the hip, if it can be fix, he'll be back to the guy we all love and if not then it was cool to have him on this squad for that run last year, the team took on his personality and it was fun to watch. Get well Go-Go, this line-up can use your bat.

    He needs to take some pressure off, and this rehab (cough cough) stint in the minors should help. He's clearly pressing and is off sync.

    LOL

    I would rather not see Gomez grace an Astros uniform again.

    Guess you like hotdogs that their game cant backup their actions. Pass
