    He looks like a high school player trying to make any contact.

    It seems they do better when I don't watch or look at the game cast thing or whatever it's called. Perhaps I should take a break but I'm also stubborn so yeah.

    it feels like we have way more needs now than before the deadline. need a 1st baseman still, like 3 outfielders, and still need starting pitching. Terrible trade deadline for Dana.

    Astros got the Rangers fired up. Job well done. Hand shakes and high fives in the clubhouse

    I’m doubting this team finishes above .500

    Joe Espada is 17-32 in games decided by 2 runs or fewer.

    Very nearly losing every 2 out of 3 such games. An unheard of ratio for a team with a winning record. Simply unheard of.

    Why is Joe Espada putting in his very worst option to try to secure the victory?

    Take a good look at Espada; don't think he will be around next season. Doubt Brown will either. Astro management has made way too many strategic mistakes.

    This is so true. Astros season would be almost over…

    Dana has sucked but we need to point a finger at Crane too. Who do you think pushed for Alemys Diaz? Dana wasn't even around when Diaz was here. It's obvious Dana just a puppet GM. Meanwhile Crane pushed to sign a washed up and still injured Verlander, a barely mediocre Graveman, and don't forget signed Brantley 12 mil for 15 games last season. He's too nostalgic for his own good.

    This team is cooked. It's back to the early months of the season again.
