    This year is not last year, this team just doesn't have that drive to win.

    Wake me up in August if we get to .500.

    You may want to get a new book if it said the Astros chances of winning went down from 29% when all that happened was getting out of the inning without allowing any more runs. :confused:

    Runners on first and second, none out. Bloop single into right. The runner on second (Dunn) isn't sure if it'll drop, so he holds. Scott throws to third, and has Dunn out by a mile. The throw is perfect. Huff just decides not to touch it and it goes out of play. That allows two runs to score and places the hitter on second base. So, instead of having a 2-1 game with a runner on 2nd and 1st and 1 out, we have a 4-1 game with a runner on 2nd and 0 out. All thanks to our great acquisition.

    And naturally, Huff leads off the bottom of the inning with one of the ugliest at-bats I've seen all year with a K. Come back Morgan... :(

    It was 29% at 2-1 and went down to 22.8% at the end of the top of the 4th.

    Instead of just bashing all of the players, why don't you explain what you would rather have happen with regards to the lineup.

    Ah - gotcha. I thought you had posted the 40% thing at 2-1 and 29% after it went from 2-1 to 4-1. My bad. I am a bit surprised going from 2-1 to 4-1 only drops it form 29 to 23% though!
