    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    Jul 4 **B. Moehler vs. T. Hudson ** FSN @ 6:30pm

    Jul 5 **C. Sampson vs. J. Reyes ** FSN @ 7:10 pm

    Jul 6 **W. Rodríguez vs. C. Morton ** My20 @ 12:35 pm

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm hoping the Astros can turn this thing around. I hate seeing them in LAST place in their division. :(

    Braves just got swept by the Phillies but they are damn good at home.

    I say LWL

    At least we held our opponent scoreless until the 2nd inning this time. :rolleyes:

    Man our pitching sucks. In the last 4 games our starters have given up 18 runs in 22.2 innings (7.15 ERA). In those 22.2 innings, the opposing team has scored in 14 of them (60% of the time).

    The pre-game press release states Coop is, "Hoping for 3 to 4 innings" from Sampson..

    Man, it really sucks to see us that low. :(

    It's starting to get old getting all excited for one of the Houston teams then to be let down and then looking forward to the next Houston team......then a let down. At least the Texans had a "good" season last year, finally doing something good.

    I really hope the Astros can pull a hell of a streak to get us back into this.

    I'll be watching every game I can till the end of the season, but man this sucks.

    Go Stros.

    well, last night's game was a fun one to watch. Lot's of clutch hitting with 2 outs. Plus it was nice being the team that jumped out early to a lead.

    First game in a long time where we didn't spot the opponent a few runs to begin with.

    No joke. We're making the games 80 times harder than they need to be by spotting teams 3-4 runs in the first 2-3 innings.
