    Will he say that he assures us this will never ever happen again? I think if he says that then this will certainly never ever happen again

    Whereas Bourn constantly surprises us. He's so creative with his at bats. Sometimes he strikes out on breaking balls, sometimes on fastballs up and away, sometimes on balls in the dirt. He sometimes even grounds out or pops up!

    I'm also fed up at the BLT sandwich, they are either going to get a hit or get out. No walks here, even Berkman has become a no-walk hitter.

    He is in a massive slump, but he obviously does not strike out every time. He is batting more than .000.

    I've been working on the West Coast for the past few weeks. That is the main reason I haven't been posting.

    It's not even worth going into the other minor reasons. Let's just say the substance of the commentary in these game threads is less than enticing.

    One thing is for sure... it has zero to do with the recent losses. I am an Astros fan regardless of whether I post in here. I am at least as much a fan of this team as you, and likely more, so you can forget about that lame and false insinuation.

    The namecalling continues though, I see. At least you're good at something because you've proven repeatedly that you know very little about baseball.

    I think thread commentary has been excellent, considering what this team's been offering of late.

    Positive, maybe, but not good quality. There is about 1 quality post in here for every 20 pieces of garbage.

    odd that you rely on us for your entertainment, but i'm flattered i guess?

    i was somewhere other than in front of my computer during the game bro. happens from time to time.

    and i dont have much more to b**** about. i am not too upset by losses at this point because our chances of contending are out the window. there will be no 2nd half of the season miracle for this team. brainless manager, scrap heap pitching, and slightly above average lineup isnt the formula for success. what wade did was worth a shot, and they kept me entertained and hopeful for a couple months.

    i'm looking forward to seeing what we do at the trade deadline. well, assuming we're smart enough to be sellers, i'm looking forward to it.

    Claws out :eek:

    Unsurprising really, but I have to say the standard of posts here may have decreased since you posted less but have probably improved in standard imho.
