    Unreal. This team has stolen every ounce of joy experienced during the first half of the season. Now this is like watching the inevitable ball sack of a tea bagging coming.

    Any of us commoners "try hard" like this I am pretty sure HR would be escorting us out of the building.

    The thing is.. they didn't try really hard... they were not willing to move 7 of their prospects and didn't even make a competent offer for Darvish.

    At this point I am sure Crane has given Luhnow the evil eye a few times.

    Nothing wrong with Fiers as your 5th starter.

    i didn't say there was... as long as he is cheap, the Astros will run him out there. It is the Verne Ruhle rule.

    I'm getting this building feeling that our 3rd base coach isn't a very good 3rd base coach.

    My goodness.....I am shocked at the ineptitude shown by the pitching staff. Not bolstering pitching before trade deadline may prove deadly.

    Whatever you do Fisher, don't even ****ing attempt to try and slide and maybe be safe. Just jog it out. Good work.
