Yep, I said it. They just don't play with passion, they don't do the little things to win ball games and surprisingly, they don't do the smart things either. The Bags and Biggio era should end....now, they have led the team nowhere. This team is simply dead. DD
I'm getting tired of Berkman killing rallys. He's one of the Astros best players, but he does not get enough meaningful hits.
I agree. With all this talent, this team SHOULD be in first place, not nine games back. The Bags and Bidge era should end now.....as we've canned managers in favor of these guys and it has got us no where. The problem now has to lie with the (so-called) team leaders But the question is......if we send Bags and Bidge packing, what the hell are we gonna do with those “ohh so glorious” statues of them outside MMP? I say someone deface those mofo statues of Bags and Bidge. Burn those damn b*tches to the ground!!!!!! Maybe then they will get the picture that there no longer wanted in town, thus forcing a trade for some good prospects in return. Then we would have the space to resign Carlos Beltran, who deserves the money.
its unbelievable how underachieving they are, and it makes no sense. They have everything needed except maybe a bullpen, but that still doesn't explain no run support. they really do just plain suck.
No passion, no fire, it seems they are sleep walking. Management goes out and gets Petitt and Clemens and this is how the team responds. Ugh !! DD
This team is horrible. I cant wait for football and basketball season. F the astros. No passion, no energy, no will to win. F! F! F! F! F!
Money Bags is the one who kills rallys. You can bank on him hitting to short or flying out to first. He is Mr. Upper-Cut. Baggs should bunt b/c he is going to hit into an out anyway might as well advance the runner.
i understand the frustration with bagwell....but what has biggio done to disappoint this season? he's arguably one of the best values in baseball this season. at $4 million he now is batting around .310 with 13 homers and 36 RBIs from the leadoff position. good luck getting that kind of production from anyone else in a leadoff role. particularly for under $5 million. as with bagwell...the guy is just hurt. he's a shadow of his former self, and it's clear he knows it. i doubt seriously he'll play baseball next season.
I agree. Biggio is a pleasant surprise this season. If someone would have asked me who would have the better year before the season started out of Bagwell or Biggio, I would have picked Bagwell. It seems like Biggio is the only watchable player right now besides Clemens and Beltran.
I agree. Biggio has come to play this season, but for the most part no one else has. Now Beltran has been infected by the Astros virus as well. Time to platoon Bagwell and let younger players get some experience because this season is done. The ultimate slap in the face will be when we trade Roger and Carlos to a contender because this team has underachieved so badly.
He learned from Biggio and Bagwell. Biggio's great before the sixth inning and Bagwell's great only if the game's already out of reach one way or the other.
Rumors started by the NY Post ("Kerry picks Gephardt") and picked up by "Mike & Mike" in NY this week. I'd take that for what it's worth.
Speculation is speculation. This is rumored. There's a difference, and no one here is proclaiming this as truth.
