If they’re not over .500 by 5/26 the season is probably toast.

Does this team get back to .500 and if so, when do we think that happens? Before the break? After?

 

May 25th

Replied before scrolling down...great minds I guess

Regardless of the upcoming schedule (which I haven't checked) or injuries, I think 5/26 is optimistic for the .500 mark. I'll go with 6/8.

[Scraps 13561]

4/28 back to .500

Fuck the haters

I've seen this twice today. 

What's sad is I actually had to check.

RIP to a Houston sports talk legend. Loved his calls and felt like he was channeling my thoughts at times with his unmistakable NY accent.

Yeah I started to add that to my post.  An 8 game winning streak wouldn't surprise me at all.

JV Day could provide the spark.

Let’s hope so. I don’t want to watch him give up 5 in the 1st and we have 1 hit through 6innings.

The obituary doesn't list cause of death, but I think it's pretty clear that watching Abreu killed him.

I was just telling a Houston buddy how weird it feels to be sitting here in April thinking welp, at least we'll be good at football...

They were apparently fucking lying about Jake Meyers. 

[WBT 20561]

Espada at least was

[WBT 20561]

These cherry blossoms are up there for best city connects for me

[Wishbone 4759]

11 pitch 1st inning for JV. 

[WBT 20561]

I'll take a bloop leadoff double

[David Dennison 18854]

Wait. Is that run production?

Apprently someone told them it was ok. About time.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Roadstros are back

[WBT 20561]

Chazzy Fizz!  another bloop, is this real life?

[WBT 20561]

Abreu should be bunting anytime there's a runner on with <2 outs

[Limp Brisket 546]

Abreu was determined to not let Chas get to 2nd.

[WBT 20561]

Seeing 10 pitches is a win for Abreu.  Looked good off the bat but still <100 mph EV

[Wishbone 4759]

HP ump seems ok…for now anyway.

[Wishbone 4759]

Need another quick inning here for JV.

[cabowabo 4484]

Lulz. WTF was that Justin?

That looked like a 41 year old trying to field a bunt.

[Wishbone 4759]

Noice!

[Rip76 4925]

37 through 3, I’ll take it.

[Wishbone 4759]

After 3:

3-1 Astros

JV = 38 PC

Gore = 75 PC
