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:

So, Urquidy and Javier with TJ surgery incoming?

JV/Framber/Blanco/arrighetti/Brown.  Garcia needs to get his ass back on the bump pretty soon and he needs to be pretty good. LMJ too would be nice- but I’m trying to deal in the realm of reality.

Loperfido probably getting sent down for Abreu's return, which is idiotic. But Espada isn't playing him anyway, which is also idiotic, so he might as well get regular ABs with Sugarland.

There probably isn't another team in all of MLB that would bring Abreu back. Just goes to show that this organization should not be taken seriously right now.

what mlb team is going to throw away $40mil ?

crane / bagwell are keeping him on the roster, he plays until they say otherwise 

You're already throwing away $40 mil. This is throwing good at bats after bad money.

Spending the money=/= bullshit idiocy with the lineup.

It's 2 different issues.  Bigtime.

Why the rush to bring Abreu back? 

The team has been playing better since he left. At least make him get one god damn hit in AAA before bringing him back.

This team is run by morons who think getting some soft-toss from Bagwell can turn back Father Time.

I’m going to presume it wasn’t dictated by the team and was previously negotiated with the player.  I guess they could have threatened assignment.  For all we know they did, or maybe they didn’t have to, and this was the result anyway.

Yeah I’m hoping it was something like okay go down for a few weeks, we bring you back up to save face, but then if you don’t do x you’re done

Bringing Abreu back is fucking stupid and anyone that disagrees is a dumbass.

The money is already wasted. He's garbage and not going to help this team. Him being on the roster is actually worse than him not on the roster. Bagwell/crane fucked up and look even dumber going this route than just releasing him a month ago and eating the money.

My best hope now is he gets put on the fucking IL

Thats the problem....what constitutes "getting his shit together"?

2 hits a week? Batting .175? Hitting a ball to LF because I dont think he has pulled a ball in 10 months cause he can't catch up to a pitch?

He is incapable of doing much more than that so it just goes back to him "getting his shit together" is still hurting the team and worse than other options at this point.

The Astros optioned IF/OF Joey Loperfido to Triple A Sugar Land following yesterday’s game. To take his place on the active roster, Houston recalled IF José Abreu from Triple A Sugar Land.

The Astros also placed RHP Cristian Javier on the 15-day IL due to right forearm discomfort (retro May 24). To take Javier’s place on the active roster, Houston recalled RHP Alex Speas (#64) from Triple A Sugar Land.

Remember when criticized Dusty’s lineups daily? That is worse than anything Dusty ever penciled in. 

I don't think Joe has any say in this matter, I think it's coming from the owner.

Back in the lineup. Singleton and Abreu together. Flags fly forever.

As I sit here watching Josh Bell hit a double and then make a good play at first base, I'm far from gruntled.

I'm going to flip out if that cocksucker doesn't get at least 1 hit. 

And if he has his shirt open and unbuttoned Im going to kill every….. I’ll leave it at that. 

He better get a hit. 

Singleton is going to struggle at DH. There is no doubt. He’s used to being on the field now.
