(Insert Joke Here About The Astros)

[KJ3]

i don't pretend to follow them but i heard on AM 790 that to be competitive in the WILD CARD race they would have to go 45 and 15 (or something close to that). so they dealt for randy wolf and said that he's the answer to spark such an insane 2nd half run. why do the astros count on miracles? it happened once, so instead of calling that the norm realize that IS NEVER going to happen again.

what sucks is that this type of.......baseball........is probably going to continue until hope is completely lost on the team and everybody quits going to see the big names we're wasting. drayton-ball, buddy-ball, the good ole' boy system, all that needs to stop. 8 dollars per beer needs to stop. the jackrabbit mascot needs to be burned on home plate as a sacrifice to the baseball gods who placed a curse upon that diamond when pujols went big fly all over our faces. appease them already drayton, we don't want to go through a kansas city royal-ing.

If it was me I would shop everyplayer over 29 that is not named Lance. Take what you can get. Play as many young kids as you can, I know most will be over matched but at least they will have some fight to them.

The year Bagwell won the Rookie of the Year award, the Astros team was made up of young unproven players, and they where fun to watch. People will buy into it if they players are seen as trying.

I'm amazed that people actually listen to the trash on 790.

I've been to a handful of games this year, and I still love going to the park. baseball in April with the roof open is a treat. Sucks that the product has been terrible the past few years.

I love baseball, and we have a great facility, but I do not have the commitment to the Astros like I do with my Texan PSL, so I will not go to any more games once the pigskin gets booted. I'd rather sit at home and watch college FB than the crap the Astros are rolling out. I might allocate my non-Texans sporting events to the Rockets and Aeros. At least those two products are entertaining.

it's better than listening to rome. i can't do it man, i can't. charlie palilo is good, don't even deny it. i listen to palilo on the way home and the monster show instead of rome whenever i go make deliveries.

i love baseball, always have, yet the way the astros are dismantling right now i had to let them go after about 18 years or so of being an avid fan. basically as far back as i can remember. couple that with drayton, ed wade and his terrible attempts to jedi-mind-trick everyone into believing this team is still good, 8 dollar flat/warm/lite beer, a stadium that i don't really like to go to yadayadayada....

The Astros are pretty painful to watch. It's not getting to get better anytime soon with the mess the farm system is. I don't think it's in McClane's make up to rebuild the team with young players and go through a couple of seasons to mature.
