Ok, since the Rangers have a thread and the Reds always have one, it is time that bottom of the standings be recognized also.
Yes, my beloved Astros start the season 0-3. We have Halladay beat until the bottom of the 9th when our closer gives up 6 hits and the victory.
Anyway: Go Astros!!!!
After years of fighting and a split, guess what, we are all IndyCar
October will always be a sad racing month for me. RIP Greg and Dan. You both were great and we miss you.
Astros... do they get a royalty everytime somebody new installs Astro-Turf?
Do they get billed when somebody gets turf toe?
"Ride The Barrel & Get Pitted... So Pitted."
Their AAA affiliate is in Oklahoma City now isn't it? Anyone to keep an eye on down on the farm?
Astros are young and they have speed with Bourn and Bourgeios but their pitching is standard fare mediocre beyond Myers. Had to say Wallace is going to have to do better defensively (he should have had that pop-up foul he let drop) and I wonder if Lee can hit like that all year.
That being said, if Wandy rebounds and pitches well the rest of the season and they get some pitcher to light it up as a quality #3 then why couldn't they compete? The NL Central is wide open medicore the way the NL West had been for a while....Pence is a legit three hole hitter, Bourn is a table setter, Quintero has a gun. Take away Lyon's inning and the bullpen wasn't htat bad. Left side of the infield does nothing for me but I don't think the Astros are going to collapse like it sounds some Astros fans are already proclaiming.
This is a young team but they will not quit. They were actually pretty good the second half of the season. Johnson is going ot be a real good third baseman. And Pence is the real deal. Hopefully, they will contend.
Go Astros! Your time will come...hopefully when it does, you'll win the Series instead of getting swept.
