    Yeah, he gets here two years ago and the Astros go on an immediate hot streak. Then, the Astros come back from 15 below .500 and get to the World Series. Exactly how many mirrors has this guy broken?

    Dang what's with all these Rangers continuing to torment us.

    First it was Blalock hitting that home-run off Eric Gagne (during his streak no less), next it was Soriano and now Michael Young. Who's next? ;)

    ANNOUNCEMENT: this thread was a joke (though probably not funny)

    I, the thread starter, do not think that Garner is cursed. I just found it ironic that he skips an NL all star team that puts up 2 runs and loses with their closer with two outs in the ninth.

    That is all.

    Feel free to let this thread sink. The thread's purpose was not to seriously debate whether or not Phil is a good/bad/cursed/not-cursed manager.

    No, I agree..Me and my uncle started saying that a few months ago when weird things started happening to the stros. They have looked like the Bad News Bears at times but recently we are just gonna go with the curse thing :D

    This is so funny because I actually believe that this actually goes on... :D
    I don't know how many times I've said that Lidge blows games on purpose...I know its not true but it gets my frustrations out..I mean how else can you explain so much bad luck ?

    Hey it was funny !! You post what you feel. This board has kept me sane for so many years. I use to have another username with over 2,000 posts but I come here to vent after every Roxs and Stros game. There are some very funny people on these boards and once I get a laughing I feel better. Good Post :)

    The funny thing about this is the blown save in the All Star game came with two outs and nobody on!! I am sure a lot of people on this board can remember how many times Lidge has done the exact thing so far. It seems like everytime he gets the first two outs and gets into a jam. Funny thing the NL team played like the Astros in the All Star game, i.e. brilliant pitching no clutch hitting and a blown save with two outs and nobody on. Maybe Garner is cursed :D

    Honestly, I have no problem with sending Garner down to AAA for a few weeks. :D
