Not a strike.

[Mo Horn 8,939]

Baseball gods hate us right now 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

fucking shit. we haven't been able to hold a lead in a fucking week

[YChang 3,571]

Aiyaiyai

[Mo Horn 8,939]

And, I fucking hate baseball right now. 

[UTHornFan014 755]

We are allergic to holding on to a lead

[Wishbone 4,958]

This is becoming ridiculous. Nausea setting in. Anyone know what whiskey and pepto tastes like?

[tx 3 putt 78,739]

Derp 

[Wishbone 4,958]

We finally put together a dream team and go into a funk.

[tx 3 putt 78,739]

We got a out !!!!!

[Gut Wagon 8,219]

This is going just swell. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

I feel like every time we’ve tied/gotten a lead in the past few games, we immediately cough it up in the next half inning.

I’ve never seen anything like this.  Getting a lead is a curse now.

[Mo Horn 8,939]

 Well that inning was as fun as a prostate exam. 

[henrygandorf 29,229]

there’s a return address on the hats. do what you have to do.

This thread is a nightmare after losses

It’s a nightmare after losing 5 out of 6 6 out of 7.

[Fudge Nuggets 19,473]

Off balance swing Springer is bad Springer.

[Mo Horn 8,939]

Why is Tuve turning from that slow breaking ball? Take it for the team

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Are we doing shitty because our heads got too big with the whole Death Star bit? It’s like God is putting us back in our place as Houston sports fans and not to get too cocky.

[Mo Horn 8,939]

Love the way we came out with a strong inning after giving up runs... wait, forget it. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

How much for one of each color?

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Nice 123 inning.

~$12 each. about to do a reorder of 12/12. 

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Planet Houston being a cunt and negging me on a baseball thread for CR posts. You hadn’t gotten negged me enough the other day on that thread. Newsflash, I had myself banned from CR at my request and it’s glorious. I never have to deal with y’all there. Stop being a pussy.

I’m convinced no matter what team we trot out, August is always gonna suck.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

AIR YORDAN!! We needed that. Come on let’s win this shit

[Wishbone 4,958]

Booooooooom. Good to see. Hope that wakes some guys up.

[UTexasFight 9,819]

Not ready to mail it back just yet

[UTexasFight 9,819]

It’s just a bit amazing how easily and often he seems to hit balls over 110mph

[Lat22 4,086]

Does anybody actually believe that a gate agent told that guy that I’ll let you on the plane if you give up your Whataburger, and when he didn’t, denied him boarding? Bullshit.

[Wishbone 4,958]

Is it just me, or is Devo pitching more than anyone on the staff?

[Wishbone 4,958]

Fuck

It was a patty melt dude.

[Mo Horn 8,939]

Fuck it, I can't watch this shit anymore. 

[cabowabo 4,692]

I can't watch this shit anymore.

[UTHornFan014 755]

Which position player can we pitch today now that Fat boy is gone?

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Remember when Devo was good?

[Fudge Nuggets 19,473]

This team is fucking shit right now.

Pm me please

[henrygandorf 29,229]

why not just leave armenteros in?  he had a 1-2-3 and is stretched out.  he had one bad inning out of 4.  you take him out, and you know it’s a crapshoot. devo is definitely not an upgrade.

Offsetting the recruiting forum, the Astros thread is.

[TexArcher 39,076]

I mean, I'm usually the guy saying, "Calm down, we're fine, lot of baseball left."  But I'm afraid we're blowing our best road to the championship if we miss out on home field against the Yankees and especially the Dodgers, where Yordan is in for three games instead of four.  These games matter a lot and we look like dog shit.
