Im more scared of them than any other team in the AL. That offense is ridiculously stacked. We need to avoid them in the first round. If they win their division, we need to overtake the Royals in the standings. If they are a wild card team, we need to make sure we let the Royals have a better record than us. :grin:
The second best run differential at some point is going to reflect in their record. Astros have the third best and I'd be willing to best on this team at home. The Royals never go on that amazing run if they aren't hosting the wild card game.

Hopefully we can sweep and also have the halos keep their losing streak going!! Put some distant between both these teams!! It will be a good series and showing them who boss in Texas!
It is disrespectful to not to use a mans name. I am sorry you don't like or respect him. No I will not let it go.
Nicknames are disrespectful and mean you don't like someone? This is crazy talk. I'm pretty sure Jim Hunter, Mordecai Brown, Dennis Boyd, Lawrence Berra, Charles Ford and some guy named George Herman Ruth didn't mind too much. When Milo/Brownie (oops)/Deshais/Dierker were calling guys Baggy, Doggy, Cammy, DK, etc... were they being disrespectful?
At first I read that as Gattis in left and Tucker in right for some reason. I about lost my mind. It's got to be time for us to get to Lewis. This is just getting stupid. He's had our number for a while now, and there's no excuse as to why. Would be fun to see the two teams get heated again. Odor vs Gomez. Who will tick off the opposing team first. We shall see.
So basically he just didn't want to move his family here. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hamels had positive things to say about the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Astros?src=hash">#Astros</a>.

Lewis since beginning of June--4.19 ERA. When you take away his 1 awful start, though, it goes down to 3.13. He has been pitching really well--10 quality starts out of the 11 across those 2 months.
lol. well good thing we didn't sign him as a rental with the 'hope' that he'd re-up for a long-term deal because he'd bolt faster than you can say "carlos beltran." sounds like he's doing some damage control since people are wondering why he spurned a perennial world series contender for a crappy go-nowhere team :grin:
Yeah, apparently he & his wife have some friends in Dallas and that made a big difference. Kind of like the Big Unit situation with Arizona, it's hard to argue with a guy's decision regarding his family. I still look forward to the Stros beating him like a rented mule for the next 4 years.
