So we get Wallace in the game but at 1st with Moore at 3rd who has played more at 1st this year?

Schreefer sucks and is really frustrating to watch. He has a small chance to figure it out, but he'll probably have to hit "rock bottom" first, likely dfa'd by the Astros with little interest from most clubs.

Seriously, getting DFA'd by the worst fucking team in MLB has got to sting. If you don't get that message, playing baseball is the least of your concerns.

Nothing about bogey getting dfa'd makes me excited at this point other than not having to watch him roll over weakly on pitches anymore. Had hopes he would figure it out.

And that's all for Cordero. We need to release him yesterday. He's got nothing. Nothing. The 5.73 ERA in the AL through 41 appearances tells the whole story. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he wasn't included in the trade to more easily allow the Astros to release him instead of the Blue Jays, who had signed him.

What happened here was you were watching men's gymnastics. That's what happened here.

The Astros season personified in one play.

Not really. The rest of the season hasn't been that close. Or required amazing defensive wizardry by the opposition.

Also, I assume the Astros lost in some unfathomable way, but I'm not sure either.

Fuckin' hell what a way to end it. I hope Mills and Meacham at least got tossed. JD could've too, for slamming his helmet.

Can you get tossed from a game that's already over?

Very good point. It just seems like they've had some shit luck as a topping to go with being a shitty team.

I thought your comment was spot on in that the play captured the season's theme of unrelenting kicks to the nards.

In transaction news, the Snakes DFA'd Lyle Overbay. Will we pick him up too?

Why not? Every guy the Astros pick up off the wire shows up and looks like a superstar in comparison to his new teammates.
