Colby Rasmus retired today, for the second time in two years.
He retired last year after Tampa Bay put him on the DL in July. He was with Baltimore this year, but again had problems with the same hip.
I have fond memories of him helping the Astros get to the playoffs in 2015, and then getting hot and hitting 4 HR's in 6 postseason games against the Yankees and Royals.
Hopefully his body won't be too broken down to enjoy his retirement with his wife and two daughters.

August was a bad month for just about everybody last year.

Why would you demote a guy hititng .300 in spot action ?
I agree. Kemp has been a pleasant surprise and may have earned a spot for the rest of the year. He only gets demoted if injured or goes on a long slump.
I know they are trying to work on his outfield defensive skills, but while Reed is in the bigs maybe Tucker could get some work at first to improve his versatility. Being a left handed option at first and DH may be a better route to the bigs this year than the outfield, barring injury.

So, what you're saying is that this may not end well for Senor Finebaum with ESPN?
If they follow precedent then Finebaum will be out on his ass.
However, if they adhere to the Stephen A. Smith Corollary they will give him a huge raise.

OK, OK

ESPN has cost-cut better talent making less money than Finebaum.

The Hot Spot - Taylor and Hamilton Pool.
Don Johnson, Jennifer Connelly, Virginia Madsen directed by Dennis Hopper. Charles Martin Smith and Barry Corbin in supporting roles.
Not a great movie, but a young Jennifer Connelly going topless at Hamilton Pool makes this a state treasure.

Lots of greenery back then.

George needs a day off tomorrow.

If that got through the infield, it scores two.

McCann is the only Astro who doesn't beat that out.

Maybe I'm misremembering due to playoff home cooking, but I dont remember us feeling like a better road than home team last year. Maybe everyone just shut it down after that huge road win streak, but all year it seems like we haven't been as good at home.
Throughout last summer, everyone was talking about the Astros near-record pace of scoring runs on the road. The only teams that compared were teams from the 1930's era Yankees.

Two fun ones:
1990 against Houston. Enuff said.
1996 against aggy. It had been a disappointing season, with a bad loss to Virginia and close losses to Notre Dame, Colorado, and a bad OU team. A win against aggy would clinch the Big 12 South, but a loss would put us in a three way tie with Tech and aggy. We kicked their ass 51-15.

Hooks set an attendance record tonight with Whitley on the mound. 10,446.
Whitley did not deliver however.
7 ER in 4.1
Walked 3, gave up a single in the 5th and left with the bases loaded
All 3 came in to score after he leftWhitley will be fine once he gets his eyelids unjammed and is able to breathe through them properly.

Would you trade McHugh for him?
Hell no!
Only trade minor league players that won't help you this year.
And I would only trade for a Barraclough if there were no Applefritters available.

Keuchel did well his last game, which was also against Duffy and the Royals.
Hopefully he can build on that so he won't have anything to bitch about in his post-game interview.

Tuve hit the train tracks again in the following inning.
Little Man was batting ‘pissed off.’ It was glorious!
Altuve hit a home run several innings earlier to tie the game at 1-1.
The back-back-back HR's were in the 6th.

Here's the Astros home-road records for the last five years as well as runs scored and allowed at home and on the road.
HOME RECORD ROAD RECORD TOTAL RECORD 2014 38-43 32-49 70-92 2015 53-28 33-48 86-76 2016 43-38 41-40 84-78 2017 48-33 53-28 101-61 2018 (current) 20-15 29-11 49-26 2018 (projected) 46-35 59-22 105-57 RUNS - RUNS ALLOWED RUNS - RUNS ALLOWED HOME ROAD 2014 318-362 311-361 2015 367-281 362-337 2016 334-303 390-398 2017 395-327 501-373 2018 (current) 143-114 246-118 2018 (projected) 331-264 498-239 Of course, the Astros have only played 35 out of 81 home games so they have plenty of time to improve on their run totals at home.
Something that I find interesting is that in 2014 and 2015 they basically scored the same amount of runs at home and on the road. Starting in 2016, they started scoring more on the road then at home. I would have thought the change would have started last year when they got rid of the high strikeout guys and focused more on contact than the all-or-nothing approach of previous years.

The streak started a day before I went on vacation and ended the day I got back. You fuckers should set up a gofundme to keep me on vacation through October. It will be difficult, but I will do my part for the team. Question is, are y'all willing to step up to the plate?
You have it all wrong.
Your wife and I had a marathon session before you went on your vacation. Her 12 orgasms that day are the cause of the streak.
If you want to do your part for the team, you just need to let your wife stay at home while you go on your vacation.

The chest shots were not the problem. It was the coup de grace shot that goes from self defense to murder.
