So since I've been pounding on the 0/1 stat so far this season I'll keep it up. Just did a little digging and offer the following as information only. I'm not projecting anything further for all you guys who want to say that any negative view is unwarranted. Facts are facts and it does indeed seem we are all feast or famine this season. I don't pretend to know the how or why, but the numbers are mostly showing that. To date we now have 9 games where we've scored 1 or 0 runs. We are 1-8 in those games. 2015: 9th game of 0/1 runs happened on May 12th. Game 33 of the season. Team Record 20-13 for a .606 win %. 2016: 9th game of 0/1 runs happened on May 21st. Game 44 of the season. Team Record 17-27 for a .386 win %. 2017: 9th game of 0/1 runs happened on July 19th. Game 95 of the season. Team Record 63-32 for a .663 win %. 2018: 9th game of 0/1 runs happened on May 1st. Game 30 of the season. Team Record 20-11 for a .645 win %. I think the reality is that last season was an anomaly. This season is the worst of the bunch, but not all that far out from 2015/2016. Last season was just remarkable it would appear, and being the most recent in memory it will affect our current view. Still, we have 3-4 games this season that fall into this category that were either winnable, or should have been won. If we flip just 2 of those games to the win column we're 22-9 with a .706% win which would be amazing.

Very true. The goal should be to have the best record to get home field throughout. But that might not happen. We really need it for the 1st round though and then after that I'm not worried. With this pitching staff we will have a chance to beat everyone in the playoffs. I mean shit, as it stands we'd be throwing out Verlander, Cole and Morton to start off every series. That is salty as fuck.

I think it gets magnified because the pitching has been so stellar. Sure we have the same record. However, it should be better based simply on a couple of games that we lost like last night when you waste such a great outing. If you lose last night 4-3 it would suck of course, but it wouldn't have the same sting as looking totally inept at the plate again. It's an interesting dynamic this season thus far. It seems as that almost any criticism of the team is seen as unnecessary bashing and panic with an unrealistic view of where we are as a team. Flipside, those pushing that narrative are seen as over the top sunshine pumpers with their head buried in the sand assuming that all will simply work out again like last year.

Yep. Been some epic bad offense this year. All feast or famine.

Trying again Before: After:

Nope. It’s been a long time.

You are such a whore.

That’s not completely true. The run in 2015 got people talking about it again. The reality is they need to talk about what people want to hear. So the bigger picture is that people in Houston didn’t give a shit to talk about the Astros until last year.

She tweeted something about Harden traveling. He responded. She basically calls him a local radio hack. Then he puts her shit on blast as she tweets about #metoo shit in sports media and how men have no clue. She apparently had auctioned herself on eBay years ago to get a ticket to the Super Bowl to see the Bears. Sexy pics and all. It was that little stunt that led to her getting attention and ultimately getting into the business she’s in. So he attacks her for being hypocritical and the backlash against him was quick. Still don’t know how that dude landed Theresa from 94.5.

Fucking imgur. I have no idea how to post them then.

What annoys me is that there is a real simple solution to this. Just rip out the row of seats and put a barricade there. Keep like a 2’ buffer zone between the top of the fence and any fan and you can eliminate this. Otherwise it’s human nature to try to catch that ball and not so easy to be sure of if you are or aren’t interfering.

I wonder if some of it had to do with his beef with that ESPN chick. It wasn’t a good look for him at all. Or maybe he got a better job? I don’t mind the station. Innes is horrible but Koch and Kalu are good. And Matt Thomas is Ok. Sean Jones is terrible though.

Apparently none. However, up in section 325 we could certainly feel the breeze from his swings and misses.

Yes. Taking my dad for his birthday.

That’s awesome!!

Just a little taste. Before: https://i.imgur.com/JBdlKAy.jpg[/img] After: https://i.imgur.com/F5h6rm9.jpg[/img]

I think your issue with the N-S traffic is that they've just started construction on the west loop. So people are starting to avoid that clusterfuck and choosing other N-S routes. As for the feeder on 610N by us, they did the north side pretty quick, so I don't think that will be much of a long term disruption.

Your comments noted and appreciated. A good day to you sir.

Lee has a picture of me and my ex doing that in his living room. He's a really chill guy.

Whoooooossshhhh... He was making fun of your typo. A part of. Not, "apart of."

Blah blah blah. Fuck the Jazz. Who’s next?

I bet we crossed paths. We got in line at about 10:20.

Shep- how early do I need to be there for this autograph thing?

Yep. And I look at it like this. I’d ask a GM if they’d want a player that can get you an extra 30-40 yards of field position in every game. And then where in the draft they think they’d select that player.
