    Well it could be worse...we could be 1-7 right now like Detroit.

    But seriously this is frustrating to watch. At least in past seasons I knew the team wasn't built to score runs...but it's supposed to be different this season. We actually have bats...but they're not doing anything...and when they finally show some life the stupid bullpen coughs up the lead 2 seconds later.

    Tie run at the plate. I think all our runs have come with 2 outs so far. More please!

    Believe it or not, at this time last year, our offense way performing better. :(

    Pitching was better too.

    I know it's early days but it does look like we suck right now. We've lost all 3 series so far

    I wish they'd just drill Pujols every time he comes up to the plate. I don't care if it walks in the winning run.

    And only won 1 game in each. 1-3; 1-2;1-2.

    I would say it's a good thing the Fish with their minuscule payroll are next but they're 5-3 and just dropped a dime on Washington tonight.

    If the Astros win one game out of every series it is going to be a very, very, long season.

    Well, with our weak pitching staff I was hoping for a .500 season, but this has been ugly. Bad start, but maybe we'll turn it around.

    We've been spoiled over the years with having a playoff team year in and year out. Kudos to Drayton and management for that. However, I wish he would have realized what most of us knew...that at this point if we are going to contend again, we have to spend a lot more dough on a pitching staff (though this was kind of a weak free agent year)

    The starting pitching really has not been that bad. The relievers have been pretty good (except Geary and Valverde). The offense has, for the most part, been pretty lethargic.

    How can the Cards still be good when they have lost so many pieces?

    :rolleyes:

    I am officially sick of the Astros. There was nothing abut 3-7 Astros talk on the radio this morning when I was getting ready and driving to work. We get it. They suck. How about mentioning the Rockets who beat Seattle by 20 without Yao and TMac and have four games left before the playoffs? **** the Astros.

    Go Pujols!!! :)

    just goes to show you kids, walking through glass doors isn't good for your offseason. hopefully he turns it around, i have no reason to think he won't, its early. he has natural talent.

    No we're not...the Texas Rangers hit and score runs in bunches. Their pitching is awful. Pitching hasn't been our problem to date.

    Please stop pretending to be Captain Houstonian. And your Go Pujols comment completely castrates your ability to criticize VY fans ever again. Thanks in advance.

    Not sure why we continue to use Villareal. Puzzling.
