Editor’s note – This article originally appeared on AstrosConnection.com.
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.
