Astros are just not good right now. We were only holding on to 1st place because the Rangers and M's were losing also. Now that they're playing each other, somebody has to win.

I'll take my crow served fresh. I thought the Stros had turned the corner, but it quickly fell apart. There isn't much time left to turn it around, but hopefully the division is a dogfight to the end.

I'm pissed. Astros don't deserve to win the division if the Royals and Athletics can take them down at crunch time. Hopefully we get a damn Wildcard….which could be a little blessing considering our home record.
I'm gonna bang some freakin' pots.

The Astros have the most talent of anyone in baseball and the manager is gonna blow it. He will ride off into retirement having won a ring, but the longer he has stayed in Houston, the more obvious it's become that the guy needs to be in the retirement home.

Yeah if the Astros blow the division to the rangers … y'all deserve to clown us on here. Astros have nobody to blame but themselves.

I still think he would be better than Jeff Banister.

I think both teams have a legit stance saying "we gave it away"

Absolutely agree.

I don't necessarily think the Astros have the best team in baseball but they may be top 3 or 4. I actually think the Braves are the best team in baseball this year, which typically means, someone else is winning the WS.

Do you Astros fans think the historic beat down of the Rangers contributed to the malaise they are currently in? Things sure have been different since then.

This thread has turned into less of a trash talk thread about the other team and more of a trash talk thread of our own teams!

It's tough being the champs and defending your title. The Astros look mentally and physically exhausted. It doesn't look like guys are grinding out at bats like they usually do. They typically refuse to give in. I'm just not seeing that right now. Too many at bats are given away.

Agreed. I do t think they will be too devastated if they miss the playoffs. Just don't see the same energy or drive. And it all starts with the manager…
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

As much as we would like to flood the thread, I'll refrain from making the Baseball God's angry. It ain't over yet.

I won't…because the Rangers still haven't won anything yet. And the Astros lost this…no other way to look at it, if it holds up.

Actually, go Rangers!

And whoever is playing the Blue Jays. We need Seattle and the Blue Jays to keep losing.

Then you haven't been lurking on our thread recently. Most people there don't think we're making the playoffs

I've been lurking. You guys, rightfully so, are not happy. But, I'm not counting any chickens yet. Every day is like Christmas Eve. We just don't know if we're getting an Atari or a mood ring.

We got a potato. A Baker that's been in the oven so long it's turned into a rancid inedible crusty chunk of crap that just needs to be thrown into the trash.

I doubt you'll see many Rangers fans on here popping off. But I don't understand the fury Astros fans have against their baseball team. You act like you've got other teams in town to follow - - you don't. This is all you have. You might want to lighten up on the angst. It's a long way to April.

Did you not watch our mighty Texans today? No, well nobody else did either, but they won a game. Stroud May be the real deal. Anderson is good. We're coming, baby!!!

There is no good excuse for being in this position on the outside looking in. The standard has been set by the Astros for years now, and they didn't meet it.

Astros vs Mariners is essentially the "play in" series for the AL playoffs.

We are used to winning divisions, leagues, and championships. Let's not pretend you know what that means.

Let's also not pretend to ignore the sting of being swept by a 100 loss team at home when you were supposedly still playing for one of those division championships.

Yeah, we aren't ignoring it. It was in response to the comment about the fury with our team. We are used to winning and are losing to **** teams. Again, let's not pretend you have experience speaking about the former. Im sure it hurts you guys to see us losing to these guys too after suffering a humiliating final stand against the Astros this year. You got absolutely throttled by a team that can't beat the A's or Royals.

We lost to a few good teams and won a lot more against the same. The astros were just one of them.

Nah, it's not hurting us. It's pretty great watching y'all choke against the Royals.

And did you really think that trying to hurt our feelings with that comment was the best way to respond?

"It must really hurt to have been swept by a team that sucks as bad as we do right now"

lol
