    After all of Albers troubles, its an ERROR on Lamb (on a tough hop, but still a play should be made)...

    When it rains, it pours... we're either not hitting, or not pitching, or not fielding.

    48 pitches in 2 innings for Matty.

    I'm just about fed up with Carlos jogging to 1st on ground balls.

    You couldn't pay me to go to an Astros home game right now. This is torture.

    You're assuming they still have dicks. They certainly don't have any testicles.

    HAHAHAHA!!! That's a good one.

    I'm giving up.

    You heard it here first. If they come back this year, & make something of it, post this everywhere. I don't care. I'm not worried though.

    Because this team SUCKS!!!

    That's 2 poor throws by Luke tonight.

    Sloppy. All the way around.

    Biggio is only playing for 3,000 hits... otherwise he'd likely be retired.

    Berkman, Oswalt, and Lee have been well taken care of... they're in the prime of their careers, aren't going anywhere any time soon, and should be producing at a high level for at least another 3-4 years.

    The rest of the team are either average-paid veterans, or low-priced kids.

    Basically, what I'm trying to say is... there is ZERO sense of urgency to win now... no pressure from a Bagwell, no pressure from a Kent, no aura of a Clemens, and no veteran moxie of a Pettite.

    But Carlos Lee should call more players-only meetings... seriously, he should.

    So when do the "Luke Scott SUX, they've GOT to get rid of this guy" posts start?

    After Berkman and Lee start hitting like they're supposed to, I guess.

    But right now, I'm still more worried about the pitching, long-term. Is Jennings about to make any rehab starts any time soon?
