Thinking to hard. Is that a negative in your world?

Yeah... I was at the game last night. It was frustrating to say the least. Our group left after the 11th when we had bases loaded with no outs and couldn't get a man home. I was disgusted to say the least.
When lidge threw the 96mph fb right down the middle on an 0-2 count in the 9th EVERYONE was screaming at him. He was boo'd off the field soon after... They should really stop flashign "lights out lidge" on the scoreboards.

OK, you guys say it doesnt work like that, but honestly, it hasnt worked yet.
A couple years back when Biggio was leading off and Everett was in the 2 hole it was working. Everett got hit late in the year and broke his wrist, but he was striving in the 2 hole.

the lights are def out for lidge........and maybe garner for that matter. the disastros have fully wasted a chance to go to the post season in a year when the national league sucks *** and have possibly the best right handed pitcher of all time taking the bump every fifth start. all we needed was to limp our way into the playoffs and we would have a chance. look at what we did last year.
this is the beginning of the end for the astros as we know them. unless ownership changes it's current path of player evaluation...we will turn into the orioles....an overpayed team that can't win.

As bad as it is right now, the Astros are only 4.5 games out of the wildcard spot with 40 games left. Cake guys....They are certainly capable, its just frustrating right now...I still have faith.

Maybe morons like this thought we were signing a Pujols when we signed Huff and are looking for that kind of production?

agreed
What have you got to lose?
And you honestly think that they cant score any more runs with Lamb, who is batting in the .300 range as opposed to Ensberg who is hovering around .240?
And Look at what Scott has done. Maybe I'm being too optimistic but lets face it, the NL is weak this year and we're only 4.5 out.
