Wow, who is this Astacio b*stard? Wasn't he declared to be the pitcher that was going to help us out from AAA? Ridiculous.
Having no 5th starter makes me miss Wade Miller, especially after he beat the braves yesterday. And why can't we give three runs to Clemens?
If the NBA goes through a lockout than my whole sports world is going to suck. I can't take all of this losing.
The Astros farm system is gutted due to Drayton's business philosophy....and I'm not sure even Uncle Draytie wants another Drabek.
Wow, now that was embarrasssssssssssing. Atleast a new record was set today. Most HR's in a Interleague game. Oh yeah, and it's official. We are the worst road team in the league. We are now 2-18 in road games. OUCH! It hurts to be a fan. I have never seen this team this pathetic before.
man, i thought at least 6 or 7 of those homers were "too high." and 2-18? are you F'ing kidding me. that's an 8 road wins pace! i didn't think it was possible to be that bad. i can't imagine the 40 win 1962 mets had much preference for home versus road but even on the low end they must've won 14 or 15. we'll pick it up, but i'd like to not be record-setting bad this year.
This should be the Astros starting line-up and pitching roation by July. CF-Willy Taveras 2B-Chris Burke 1B-Lance Berkman 3B-Morgan Ensberg LF-Luke Scott RF-Todd Self C-Humberto Quintero SS-Adam Everett SP-Roy Oswalt SP-Andy Pettite SP-Brandon Backe SP-Wandy Rodriguez SP-Jared Gothreaux IMO, Zeke would be a great 8th inning guy and Qualls would be a 7th inning guy. The Astros need to see for the last 3 months of the season who can hit at this level and who can't. Taylor Buchoulz has also been thorwing the ball well and Round Rock and maybe he could have a bullpen spot or take Andy's place when he gets injured again.
Remember he already traded them... along w/ Franco and Springer (of all people). Of course, he must not have gotten anything back in return... cause you know that the Astros are just dying to give away these guys to the Yankees for nothing but borderline prospects.
Try the guy named BIGGIO. Man, this season is more painful considering how exciting last year was (and where we got). This is one hell of a reverse job.
