C'mon. I figure after last season you would have a little more faith. We are still playing better baseball this year and I don't see this losing streak being a recurring event

I know. Our bullpen is sucking hind tit also. I guess when you start off as shitty as last year, you can hit a few bumps in the road.

9-6 isn't exactly a "blowout". Several key players going through slumps at the same time makes for losses. We'll turn it around.

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing last night at that time, but I kept watching and hoping for a miracle. I'm glad Lance got 3 more RBIs.

Astros will be alright even though Clemens will not be back, they still have a strong lineup and good pitching. Hell I have to deal with the Rangers being in first and in the bottom of the 2nd it was 10 - 0, but we are used to it. The Stros will hit there stride and and I believe make the playoffs again this year.

Lidge almost blew another save today. Garner had to pull him out in the bottom of the 9th, because he allowed a hit, a run and walked 3. He was pulled with the bases loaded and Wheeler had to come in and finish off the game for the win.
