    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).

    Wow, this has to be the quietest thread yet. 1-0 in the first anyway, so we have a decent start. Now let's get our season back on track by sweeping the stinky birds.

    Woohoo, we're keeping up pace in our attempt to break the HR allowed record.

    Backe is our ace in this attempt.

    This team is shameful. The defense is laxadaisical, like they just can't be bothered. The pitching is simply pathetic and the offense needs hitting with a big stick. I can see why no one has bothered to post. I think I might agree with the guy who said we'd lose 100 games, hard to see how we'll ever win a series again right now.

    Wow, that at-bat by Blum was Ensberg-esque. Beautiful stuff. Love the way he stood and watched the third strike, brought back such amazing memories.

    Wow...no posts since we took the lead. I guess if there is nothing to b**** about, nobody posts.

    I hope you're not referring to me. Please note my first post was when we lead 1-0, I then posted a few more times and then just gave up, which was not connected to the score, it was connected to the fact I WAS TALKING TO MYSELF.

    No...I am not referring to you. BrooksBall and cardpire (or whatever his name is) would be more along the lines of those to whom I am referring.

    Sorry for any confusion.

    Okie dokie, no probs. Don't know where them guys are tonight. They rarely miss a full game.

    I'd wager BrooksTroll will turn up as we blow this lead in about 5 minutes time.

    I'm pretty sure that if the Astros ever won the World Series, he'd never post again. ;)

    Any chance we could trade Bourn for a guy that might be able to contribute at AA level?

    Astros need a shrink! They got a loser's mentality which they can't shake!

    Gotta be impressed by this team's ability to find new and innovative ways to lose every night

    I can't wait to see Cooper's post-game rant. That's the only thing to look forward to any more. lol
