CHICAGO (SnS) – The unmighty Houston Astros ended a long season-long struggle here tonight on the North Side of Chicago . . . Chicago, the City of Feminine Shoulders, the Fudgepacker to the World; the lowly Houston nine reached the vaunted century mark in the loss column, by dropping an untense 2-1 heartstarter to the Chicago Fuck TCs.Read More

HOUSTON (SnS) – It is mid-September, and another baseball season is grinding to a finish. The Astros are winding down a particularly unsuccessful campaign. I am not especially dismayed by that, though of course 2011 has been trying at times.Read More

HOUSTON (SnS) – The Houston Astros lost to the Milwaukee Brewers again tonight, by the same score as last night (I believe) . . . namely, 8-2.

From what I gather.Read More

SAN FRANCISCO (SnS) – The Houston Astros played a contest on Saturday evening here against the hometown San Francisco Giants, and lost the match in extra frames, 2-1. It was the Houston team’s ninetieth loss of the 2011 campaign. Astros manager Mills tried some things, not enough of them worked. Mills is handicapped by an undermanned team, and a lack of imagination, personality, or any sort of personal dynamism.Read More
