    Just an awful start by happ he needs to be on the DL right now and we need someone else in his place. He clearly doesn't have anything going for him. Pathetic start for our astros. Gonna be a long year boys but i know ill be there watching every game.

    So I see they decided to mirror last years start. Nice.

    I started out the year hoping they at least started better than last year. Now I'm kind of hoping that they extend it. 0-9, here we come.

    So I just flipped over to the Astro game before the Rockets come on, and the Astros SS makes an error and the pitcher is getting hit hard. Everyone who thinks the Rockets suck need to watch the Astros. This is true sucking.

    I was tearing up and we scored a few. Sniffle.

    I am now cutting onions the rest of the game. ;

    Keeping the streak alive! Yeah!

    To the game or the season?:p

    They could always match(or beat) last year's 0-8 start.

    The Astros drew the fewest walks in the National League this season, by a large margin. Through their first 5 games, they've drawn less than half as many walks per game as they did last year. Sample size and all that ... but still.

    I was kind of hoping for a day game today so I wouldn't have to watch any more tonight.

    "Duh! Losing!"

    Wouldn't mind having Charlie Sheen play for us at this point. I doubt he would make us any worse than we already are. Plus, he has experience ("Major League"). Brad Mills can talk him up. Sign him!

    I think there is good reason to believe that the Astros are the worst team in Major League Baseball. Some one or several people are directly responsible for this mess and they should be held accountable. When people don't do their jobs they lose them. Some new owner should be able to "buy low" and then start cleaning house and turn this around. The Astros have had some great years; it time for them to return.

    I agree. The Astros should trade their best players, Berkman abd Oswalt, and start the rebuild.

    I'm arbitrarily setting an over/under on Reds' RS this series at 20.5. Who's taking the under? I'm taking the over.

    Had you asked this prior to the Reds scoring 8 yesterday....

    I still would've taken the over.
