    Yeah I'm starting to see his point of view now. Too many times this year we just flame out when we need offense the most. We need to load up.

    these games are hard to take when Dusty doesn't even try to put the best team on the field.

    Just thinking back to the one thing Dusty harped on after finally winning the World Series. When you get one, you want two. I want more.

    Yeah well that's the closest he'll ever sniff a World Series, much less win one.

    Exactly.

    So what does it matter.

    Not to be ugly, but Maldonado needs to get a severe ingrown toenail.

    Pressly or the press? I assume you’re talking about Díaz and Maldy?

    Problem with that is Maldy will hide his injury like he did last year. Selfish b*stard.

    it's like playing games with the boys.

    can't end the night on an L. you also can't end the night while you're feeling it and on a streak.

    we only say this because he's a terrible player.

    if he was actually good, everybody would be saying "willis reed" of astros

    When I do see Chazzy, he's always making a spectacular catch or getting hits.

    Or sitting the bench

    Which is why he will be in Chicago or San Diego in a few weeks.

    And in 3 years we will be comparing him to J.D. Martinez (light) and cussing Dusty.

    Heaney has not been good. Averaging less than 5 IP per start w/ ERA near 6 and 5 BB per 9 innings in June.

    He's also LH which benefits the Astros.

    With Dubin making his first MLB start, they may need to outslug the Rangers in a 8-7 type of game today.

    Have they announced tomorrow's starter yet? It has to he Javier or Bielak.

    My guess is they send Dubin back to AAA after his start today, and bring up Brandon.

    Dubin could throw a monkey wrench into that with a good start but I'm not very hopeful versus this offense.

    He probably turns it around today.

    It is Sunday with a rookie starting pitcher called up as an emergency starter. Get ready for the crappies lineup ever put out by Dusty.

    Dubon is up to 5th?

    Is THAT the evidence that Brown has been waiting for commit or retire Dusty?
