    Time and place buddy

    You can be negative about the team all you want. Heck I've avoided game threads lately because if people like you

    But if you want to get personal, time and place Holmes just let me know

    I'll be a bit upset if we lose control of the West. The level of frustration here is absurd for a team that no one expected to be in such a position.

    We're just biding our time until Springer returns. I hope he reclaims CF and we move Gomez to the corners.

    We already did once, then we got it back.

    The rest of what you're saying is spot on, except Springer owns RF.

    Except against Texas :mad:

    After a crap roadtrip, this home stand hasn't begun well. Thank God the Angels have been losing, but the Rangers are getting closer and closer. The 5-9 spots need to hit better, starting with Gomez. Springer is really missed. Team must hold serve best they can until his return.

    Still proud of this squad and the future is bright. But it will be disappointing if we miss the playoffs after leading the division so long.

    Tough to lose with Kazmir tonight .. team is fighting a rough stretch but we have seen what this team does when it gets going. The fact that we have kept a 2.5 game lead while going through the rough patch is huge. WHEN this team goes on a run in the near future like it seems to have done after rough patches, hopefully we will be able to put some real distance between 1st and 2nd

    I agree on the level some people exude but dont think its absurd to be upset. No one expected to be here, but here we are. We're in first place and are officially invested as an organization and as fans. It would be absurd not to be upset that we are letting games go and not competing.

    Springer will come back in right and hopefully provide the spark we need.

    Even if we fall off and miss the postseason, I'm gonna have a hard time getting to worked up. I've been a big believer in "the process" from the start. 2015 was supposed to be our first competitive year, 2017 was supposed to be the year that were playoffs or bust.

    We are ahead of schedule, and Luhnow didn't sit idly by, he tried to win this year, so you can't be mad at the organization for not giving an effort. Our young guys will hit the ground running next season loaded with exp, and we have a better picture of what holes we need to fill long term, and the farm is still stacked. This season is an unquestioned success.

    Having said all of that, I expect us to make the playoffs. We lose some ground, people panic, and we build up a cushion. People really need to chill, I know people have fogotten becasue it's been a while, but baseball has a long season, getting worked up about every little stretch is gonna wear you out.

    This. Amazing really...a team we all hoped might get back to just .500 is in first place in mid-August and getting ready to play it's first meaningful September baseball game since 2008...and many are pissed that they're not playing like grizzled vets. There's maybe 7 players on the roster that have even been in a playoff race before.

    Yes, I'm just happy to be here. After the last 7 years, just playing meaningful games is enough for me right now.

    That's baseball for you. Over the course of a 162 game season you're going to have your peaks and valleys. Just hope the Astros can hit their stride soon.

    There's still over 1/4th of the season left to go (43 games). They'll be fine.
