So what? The Astros coughed up a division lead. They did the same last year with Chicago. The important thing is the ‘Stros went on a tear in July and cruised to their second straight division title. There’s no reason to think that won’t happen this year. But, some things must be resolved before Houston reclaims their division lead.Read More

The last thing I needed the first thing this morning was to watch the Astros exhibit the major league suck that they’ve given us the past week. Beyond simply going 1-6 for the week, it’s how they’ve gone 1-6, basically removing any hopes of “holding the line” until they get healthy. Let me count the ways: nearly being no-hit 2 times by the Reds, getting smacked around by both the Reds and Cardinals, and having every facet of this ball team go to hell in a handcart in the span of a couple of weeks. Makes me wish I had been able to be unconscious more often.

Days like Sunday remind us that baseball is indeed, just a game. While our lead on the Scrubs or getting thrown out trying
to steal third in the 9th inning seem day to day to be “life and death”, they aren’t. Neither is the status of any of the
Astros pitchers as an ace, Derek Bell’s every-other-year slump, Elarton’s place in the rotation, or Stretch Suba’s pro
career.Read More

Ignoring the evidence of my eyes…I don’t have any hard and fast reason to believe this, but the slump is about over. Is it because Astros are starting to get healthy? Is it because Biggio is starting to get on base again? Whatever the reason, I think the Stros have bottomed out with the pasting they received in Minnesota on Sunday.

I’m 23. Been following the Astros in Houston for most of my life. But I wouldn’t ever have considered myself a die-hard fan. Not in a million years.
This all changed when I found the Talk Zone.
I went to college in Boston in 1994. We all know how the Stros were back then – Bags broke his wrist, the players went on strike, and another season went down the tubes. MVP? Small victory. Up in Boston, fans were pretty pissed the Sox stunk. But nothing got them more pissed that year than two little words from an Astros follower.

I’ve always wanted to give arbitrary player grades at arbitrary points of the season. I think it’s the right of every deity-fearing (how PC) Amer-I-Can to give capricious grades to anything and everything they can…So at 26-16 coming into Monday night’s match up against the Rockies’ (BWAHHAHAHAHA) ace Brian Bohanon, the Astros are the best team in baseball. How are the individuals who make up our team shaping up at the Quarter Pole? Here’s my opinion, because you all wanted to know…Read More
