    This is a flawed team. Mike Lamb is such a liability in the field.

    Well that tells the whole story of this season. If they keep saying "we are only 4 games out of the wild card.." I'll go crazy...Buchholtz SUCKS !!!!!!!!and so does this little league team......At this point I don't care what they do with this team because obviously McClane and Purpuras fat ass could care less if the Astros win or lose...... :mad:

    Which is even more of a reason for Ensberg to come back healthy and ready. Lamb's better suited to come off the bench. I just feel a lot more comfortable with Berkman there at 1st.

    Because our pictures throw it right down the middle. Sometimes I think they lose on purpose....I want to call this team the Bad News Bears but they don't deserve that name because The Bad News Bears at least always win in the end...

    Are we leading the League in grandslams given? Yet the Astros still haven't hit one.

    All we need is for Oswalt to say " this game is over !! " and we can move on.. :D I was rushing to get home and as soon as I sat down....there went the torpedo. I got right back up, turned my T.V. off and I'm gettin ready to go out cause "This game is over !!"

    I don't have to even look that up and the answer is definately yes...No,we don't hit grandslams we only hit homeruns when there is nobody on base...

    Probably safe enough to say already we will end the season with the most at the rate we are going.

    Yeah, McClane and Purp could care less, which is why the Astros have like the 3rd or 4th highest payroll in the leauge now and we just traded for Huff. And Buchholz doesn't exactly suck (just inconsistent)...at worst it'd be a very managebale 2-0 right now if Lamb makes a good throw and they turn the dp. He did get two ground balls prior to that Slam....

    leadoff walk, failure to convert dp, pitch left up, and 1 hit through 3 = poor execution...and that is the story of the season.

    Why is it that everyone elses 1/2 inning takes like 2 or 3 minutes and the Astros always takes like an hour ? Our pitching sucks....I say we demote evryone to Round Rock and bring the Express up at least it would be exciting to see the future !!!!!

    Exactly Junkyard but c'mon man when are we going to admit we just don't have the team.Yes we do have the 3rd highest paid ball team but then why do we suck ? It has nothing to do with how much you pay for your team but who you spend it on and how you spend it. That shows that the Astros don't know how to manage their money. Maybe we should try Money Ball :D

    i've said it before and i'll say it again. he is just as inconsistent and unreliable as wandy at this stage of his career. this isn't somebody you want in our rotation, especially if you're still holding out hope of us going on another dramatic hot streak.

    OK how good our team is has nothing to do with you bashing Drayton and Purpura for not caring whether the team wins or not. That statement was absurd. I think the Astros (Especially Drayton) have done a damn good job of trying to put together a winning team every year. We have been big players in MLB for the last decade. Teams that go out and get Randy Johnsons and Carlos Beltrans want to win. Maybe it didn't work out this season and we wont end up winning, but I don't think you can say we didn't try to win.
