    Blown out by the Pirates, and the offense can't do anything.

    You know your team sucks when the commentators start talking about Jeopardy.

    Man this is so sad. LOL. I'm almost in denial, that the season has even started yet. :(

    Just like the majority of ST. Maybe we'll win a few in a row at the end of the season.

    "But WAAAAIT! But WAAAAIT!!!"

    "You a guys are having a kneejerk rection!" :rolleyes:

    Kidding .. this team effing SUCKS & those knowitalls that like to call us knee-jerkers, are nothing more than penal jerkers ... because this team effing SUCKS!

    I know they'll probably start scoring runs ... yeah, IN AUGUST! Like they always do. Too little, too late. Just like every other year when they're 21 games out of 1st ... watta crock. :rolleyes:

    Can't get a win.
    Can't get a lead.
    Can't get a frikkin'erunner.

    Embarrassing.

    Did the Astros go through Camp Cupcake during Spring Training? Maybe there is something wrong with how this team is prepping for and approaching the regular season. Do the vets need to make adjustments for old age? Or, is it just business as usual? I don't think everyone's business plan was to slump at the same time but, somehow, here we are again with everyone slumping.

    That's supposed to say "baserunner." Yeah, I've had a beer or two ... what, you think you're better than me? The truth comes out with beer.

    God this team sucks. We're going for a 1-6 record to start the season. It's starting to look like the 2007 season again. :mad: :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know what year was the worst start to an Astros season? It feels like this is it. I just can't remember us being in peril like this so early in a season. Usually, we start off semi-well and then have the drop off.

    I hope that this is the last time Moehler pitches for the Astros. He's done.

    The Colt .45s won 64 games in the inaugural season. Such a low point was never reached again...

    Can this be the worst team in franchise history?

    What did you guys expect today? The Pirates have the Duke of Truth dealing for them. You can't beat that.

    The worst part is that we still spend over $100 Million and have the 8th highest payroll in baseball. And this is what you get.
