About time. Kind of like a car with 2.73 gears, takes off slow, but pulls on the big end!

Yes I glad for them!!! If it was an 8 game lossing streak in the middle of the season I wouldn't have to hear all the Astro haters.

I was at one thier last games last season against the phillies.....I was suprised how many phillies fans there were. In fact I had a whole family of very obnoxious phillies fans who heckled all game, but fortunately the Stros managed to pull it out in the ninth, and the sudden silence from behind me was priceless.

Anyway got a bit off subject there but good for the Astros.

MAJOR reason for our 8 losses:

OPS (On Base % + Slugging %):
Carlos Lee - .197
Hunter Pence - .323
Matsui - .190

These 3 guys have a combined .100 batting average.

Not having Lance Berkman in the lineup is hurting us too.

Towles and Quintero need to just go away. Bring Castro up.

Did I mention Drayton sucks huge monkey *****?
