quote:Quality performances from players received in return usually offsets that. For example, I doubt you'd find many long time Astros fans who agonized over giving up Carlos Guillen, Freddy Garcia and John Halama. The problem here is we haven't gotten quality performances from players received in return.
You guys are going to be miserable if you keep up with and follow every Astro player that has success after he's left Houston.
They're gone, it is what is, move on.

True.
But like others have said with a deep farm system and a staff that obviously drafts well we can't keep all of them and eventually you have to play the numbers game and trade some away to get MLB ready players.
Also at the the time of these trades they were quality trades. Kazmir was solid, Gomez and Fiers were alright, Giles was one the best relievers in the game (FWIW he sucks now but I think he'll turn out to be our closer of the future).
So while we would all like them to all turn out in our favor it's not like Lunhow is going all Ed Wade and bringing in straight garbage and burning us to the ground.
All I'm trying to say is save yourself the trouble and agony and worry about the guys that are on the team now and forget about the guys we've dealt. It's pointless

Johan Santana
I'm not agonizing, just defending those who are
Johan Santana was a rule V pick up by the twins. The Astros didn't protect him because he hadn't shown that great of promise
Still just 5.5 games back. Focus on this.

Doug Drabek and Greg Swindell.......wait.
I've been wracking my brain trying to think of a guy for pitched for the 'stros in the early 80s...pitcher...oh, yeah, Nolan Ryan. Even worse, we lost him to the ugly cousins to the north on I45.
This team doesn't have the starting pitching to get out of the hole they are digging themselves.
Good hitting by the top of the order so far

Here's a chance to break the narrative
Well, nevermind.
Tied the longest winning streak of the season.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Gonna try to take my parents to the ballpark next Saturday to see us win our 10th straight, any of you degenerates have any suggestions for finding good tix other than stubhub or directly through the Stros?
I figure that's probably the best rout but I thought I'd see if you guys have some secret insider info. Like if I sing "Go Go Astros" and knock on the Astrodome four times and old wizard appears or something.

SeatGeek is a good option. It takes multiple secondary market sites and puts it all in one place. It also provides a rating on each ticket based on seat location and pricing.
One of my friends used the Gametime app for the Royals series and said it went well. Never used it myself though.
Thanks for the suggestions. Now let's win all the games between now and then.
Yeah SeatGeek is what I use.
Hell at this rate you could just walk up to the window, but some $7 cheap seats, and sit in the Diamond Club.

I would do that, but trying to get my dad to sit somewhere that he doesn't have tickets for would be like trying to get him to spy for the Russians.
