Im still hopefull but what do you think, is our season over?

[Spurminator]

After last season (really, the last three seasons) I've learned to never give up on this team or hand it to the other teams.

Like how the Cards almost lost the division at the last minute.

[Spurminator]

Exactly. And if we hadn't choked to the Braves in the last Series, there would be a different World Series Champion.

[Flight3107]

its over

Yeah Im the same way, but I can't help but watch and be happy when we win. What if we take 4 from the Dodgers?

[midgetonadonkey]

At 10.5 back of the Wild Card and 9 back in the division, I think it's pretty much over. Especially since they can't seem to close games out, fucking Lidge. I hope there is some kind of miracle ending to the season, but I doubt it.

[ATRAIN]

8 back now with 40+ games left........I STILL BELIEVE!!!

[MajorMike]

Yeah Im the same way, but I can't help but watch and be happy when we win. What if we take 4 from the Dodgers?

Shouldn't be hard; Dodgers have only won 6 games since 16 July (27 games).

[ATRAIN]

Damn when I turned on the tv I saw us winning.......what the hell happened last night....I really hate Jennings. Was it his fault?

[leemajors]

damn oswalt and lee both day to day in the same game. oswalt is still the most underrated #1 starter in the game, hope he gets well soon.

[DOMINATOR]

yeah bad news today... especially since Oswalt deserved that W today.
hopefully Roy wont miss a start and Lee will be back by the time Pence is back.
cant stand Lane in center... makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

[leemajors]

jennings is just god awful.

[DOMINATOR]

jennings is just god awful.
i dont even watch his starts anymore. i'd rather see patton and let jennings rot on the bench.

Lane isn't streaky he hits his homerun every 6-7 games... it's his only hit though. :)

All childish bickering aside, I'm switching from "Maybe if all the other teams in the division just die" mode, to "One less day till B-ball season..." mode.

You can have all the excuses in the book, but you will always be that guy who got his ass kicked by a 14 year old. Of course we just watched. We were entertained.

[O-Factor]

it was 2 backyard wrestlers and I was drunk but they both know I could demolish them if I want to. Rey even said so!!

Thats what you get for picking a fight. You have to own your decisions.Yeah he told you that to your face because he felt bad for you. Be we all laugh about it when we get together though. Oh yeah I almost forgot....astros blow!

[O-Factor]

Well there was a difference 1 was taking it serious and the other 2 drunk guys weren't. They all know I would kill em.....I made you tap more than a few times as well so choke on that!!! Yeah they are sucking this year and your not hurting my feelings.....but ill feel better at the end of the year when the cowboys arent doing crap and you lose TO.

Own it you got your ass whooped by a 14 year old! Besides I've never taken you seriously. If I would you'd get hurt. And what you'll be doing towards the end of the football season is jumping on the Cowboys bandwagon! Like you've done so many times before.

all that comes out of your mouth is shit....im not the only one who thinks it so think what you want and as far as taking me seriously....shit I DARE you to take it serious cause I guarantee you wont want that.

[Melmart1]

Dyke smack ... **yawn**

[ATRAIN]

DAMMIT why cant we beat the Nationals.......they own us this season. When is Sampson coming back and could we get Backe back before the end of the season?

[leemajors]

i think backe has been throwing for a bit, but there's no reason to rush him. we're not playing the cards in the playoffs, and that's the only time he's consistent.

[O-Factor]

Dyke smack ... **yawn**

Thats all you got? "yawn". I mean seriously, "yawn". Thats it. I was hoping we could go out and pick up chicks together.

[ATRAIN]

Yeah he has been having rehab starts in minor league. I think he has gone 7 innings in one of his starts. Well he has fire though, he is a passionate player and we need that right now. Who is taking Sampson's spot?

[DOMINATOR]

sampson is going to be a relief pitcher rest of season... to keep his innings pitched down.
albers will probably stay in the rotation for sampson.
gutierrez is going to start thursday in place of Oswalt who will miss one start.
hopefully patton will be called up to take jennings starts.
hopefully backe will be called up in a few starts either bullpen or replace albers in the rotation moving him to the pen.
and they better call up JR Towles.

[ATRAIN]

ive heard a lot about Patton but have yet to see him pitch. Is he a lefty?

[leemajors]

[ATRAIN]

DUDE I wish I saw that game.. I love watching the games where history is made like a no-hitter or perfect game. Or watching a guy hit the cycle. When I came into work my boss asked me if I saw that I turned it to Sports Center.......wow is all I can say.

[leemajors]

what a debut for gutierrez!

[leemajors]

what a debut for gutierrez!
he did settle down nicely.

[ATRAIN]

he did settle down nicely.


I have heard nothing but good things about him

[DOMINATOR]

Patton is getting the start Saturday

keep in mind he's already thrown more innings in a season than he ever has... so his stuff may not look as good since his arm will be fatigued.

[DOMINATOR]

Patton pitched good too bad he couldnt get the W instead of the L.

[T Park]

BUMP

LETS GO ASTROS AGAINST THE CUBS AND BREWERS :lol


Winning 6-0 today :)

[DOMINATOR]

Pence Power!
2 HRs 5 RBI in the leadoff spot!

Thanks for the help Houston :)

chad balls is awesome.

[DOMINATOR]

why does it even matter? the season has been over since the 10 game losing streak... only thing that bugs me is no W next to Oswalt's name.

[Mister Sinister]

15-3 today. Made me smile.

[DOMINATOR]

15-3 today. Made me smile.
yeah how about Josh Anderson going 5/5 in 6 innings... then that douchebag hit him so he wouldnt go 6/6

[Mister Sinister]

O rly? I didn't see the game. Just the score on mlb.com when I got home from work at 4 today.

[leemajors]

yeah how about Josh Anderson going 5/5 in 6 innings... then that douchebag hit him so he wouldnt go 6/6
that has been a pleasant surprise. being able to put pence in RF and end the luke/lane/whoever platoon would be awesome.

[leemajors]

why does it even matter? the season has been over since the 10 game losing streak... only thing that bugs me is no W next to Oswalt's name.
well the W for oswalt was basically what i was complaining about.

Boo to Ed Wade... mediocre GM for a mediocre owner, organization, and team.
:depressed

[leemajors]

http://blogs.chron.com/sportsjustice/


Here's the good and the bad on new Astros GM Ed Wade

First the good news. Virtually the entire nucleus of the Phillies' current team was signed and developed during his tenure as general manager (1998-2005). Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, Pat Burrell, Brett Myers, Marlon Byrd and Taylor Bucchholz were all drafted when Wade was in charge. He took over an organization that was a mess and made it almost as productive as any.

Ed Wade is tough, smart and organized. His track record says he'll fix what's wrong with the Astros at that level. From the narrow perspective of player development, the Astros couldn't have hired anyone better.

He hired two managers--Larry Bowa and Charlie Manuel. Bowa's tenure was interesting if nothing else. Manuel might be the NL Manager of the Year.

Now the bad. He traded Scott Rolen and Curt Schilling and didn't get nearly enough for them. He handed out some horrendous contracts to Mike Lieberthal and David Bell and dumb no-trade clauses in deals for Bobby Abreu and Jim Thome. He got into childish feuds with the Philly media.

That said, this is a decent hire. It's not a daring hire or a leap of faith. Ed Wade will paint the town beige. But that's okay. This organization needs someone that, first of all, will get them back on track at the minor league level.

Before anything else happens, they must fix what's broken there. Until they get more talent into the organization, nothing else will matter.

Wade knows the lay of the land. Tal Smith hired him to be public relations-director of the Astros in the '70s. He resigned after Smith was fired and went to work for Tal. He eventually joined the Phillies and methodically climbed the masthead, until being named general manager in 1998.

He became a punching bad for the Philly talk-show nitwits. Some of the criticism was legitimate, but most of it was typical talk-show gas. If anyone tells you Ed Wade is incompetent, don't believe them.

This hire tells you that Tal Smith still has huge power with Drayton McLane. That's okay. Considering who has been in charge of the baseball operation the last year, Tal Smith is a huge upgrade.

He believes in being aggressive with young players and with emphasizing pitching and defense. Ed Wade clearly believes in the same things, or he wouldn't have been hired.

Wade surely knows that Drayton McLane will have a hand in every move. That's okay. It's his team. He had a hand when the Astros went to the playoffs six times in nine years. Every organization operates differently. The Astros interviewed a lot of people that were plenty competent. Now the hard work can begin.
