    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Bregman getting fucked

Took two balls to start that AB that were called strikes looking.

I seriously walked to my garage after the 9th. Came immediately back in and commercials were still on. I fully expected to be in the top of the 10th when the game came back on.

Holy. Crap.

And the M’s move the runner on the first pitch.  That’s why they’re in first and the Astros continue to suck shit through a straw.

Went to make a drink, came back and  wanted to ask what happened. Glad I missed it.

And no one in that organization cares. Not one of them

This.  Or not as much as we do.

The lack of urgency from anyone in the organization (players, coaches, and front office all included) has me thinking we are heading back to the dark ages of Astros baseball

1-5 to the mariners with a -8 run differential (with 3 losses by 1 run and another by 2).

That’s going to sting come September 

On the bright side, it probably won't even matter by July.

6 games in this road trip

we've scored in one inning in each game 

It goes back to our last game against the Angels, so that makes 7 games.

Him, Scott, Kyle and Peña only true ballers on this team. Maybe throw in a little Jake in there.  Everyone else has their head up their asses.

Astros have gotten three quality starts this series, and the bullpen has surrendered only two earned runs. They are 0-3.

Fire the manager tonight. Can’t fire the players. At least it would be doing something 

And send Bagwell on a “scouting mission” to The Dominican Republic until the end of the season.

6.5 games back in the division and Seattle has a good farm; the Mariners are going to get a lot better at the deadline.  This series was devastating for momentum and Houston’s odds of making the playoffs.

I love that the Astros GM does a regular radio segment. The accessibility helps me feel more informed and connected as a fan.At the same time, Dana Brown’s regular interviews have caused me to really lose faith in him.This is just my personal opinion, but he seems full of…

Dump Dana and flush Espada down the toilet.

Looks like the !ets are gonna cut Jorge Lopez after his recent blowup.  I think he would make a fine addition to our bullpen and shitty team. Love his emotion. Lol.

Well, before anything happens he is going to need a new glove.

Shit is fucked when Scott Servais is smarter than anyone in the Astros' dugout.

Trey Cabbage has been playing in MiLB contests since 2015, but he's never had a night like the one he did Wednesday!A career-high 8 RBIs for the @astros farmhand as he paced a 20-run @SLSpaceCowboys barrage.

We have been a sub .500 team over the last 162. Something went seriously wrong sometime in September last season. The Rangers collapse at the end of the regular season and our drawing a middling Twins teams in the ALDS masked it. But the truth is, this team was very close to missing the playoffs last season, and, so far, this season has just been a continuation of that. The worst part, imo, is that there doesn't seem to be any real hope it will improve near term. There is no reason to believe this team is a player or two away from competing, so buying doesn't make any sense, not that we have much in the farm to trade. And I have no faith in the FO (and realistically it's Baggy, Reggie, and Crane anyway) to navigate a rebuild, so trading Bregs, JV, or Framber would probably just result in us getting fleeced. The real kicker is I live too far from the stadium to enjoy what inevitably will be cheap tickets and nearly empty sections of the stadium. That was at least one bonus of the 2012-era team.

He can have Abreus, he doesn’t use it

I guess it could be that simple. Maybe they just hit a wall late last season and haven't been able to recover, but, to go from trouncing the Rangers in that early September 2023 series to what we've seen since, makes me wonder is there isn't something fundamentally wrong in the clubhouse.
