Despite an up and down start the Astros are 14-8 since the All-Star break including sweeps of the New York Abortions and the Stinkcinasty Shitstains. Besides making the TZ and GZ happy places that also means the Astros are just 1, count ’em, 1 game under .500. There is of course one problem. Yeah I know there’s more than one problem with this team but you know what I’m going to say. Lee is gone thanks to the Goulanalsh’s. There’s been talk of Wiggy playing some left as well as Erstad being the everyday guy there so you know the defensive effort will be set to maximum. Berkman and Miggy have to step up big now. So now in come the Giants. They have won 2 of 3 in their three series this month including most recently 2 of 3 from the Manny’s.

Alyson’s assessment
AP via Yahoo!


It’s been glaringly apparent to most that Roy hasn’t been Roy so far this year. Whether you believe it’s because of injury, pitching to contact or just that he’s lost his edge, the results show he’s been anything but an ace. Too bad the Astros don’t play the Reds every 5th game. Read More
