I have a good time win or lose. Of course I'd rather win. Got lucky on Keuchle pitching. Didn't know the rotation before we bought tickets. Staying at the Westin House hotel across the street.....(think that's the name). Used to be the Inn at the Ballpark or something like that.

I'll be in Houston tonight as well. Hoping to talk the wife into buying some tickets to tonights game too. Keuchle on the bump in MMP is fun to watch. 

[baddog]

Man, I thought you could bu, those beards. You have to buy Keuchle Korner tickets. Oh well.

[baddog]

Astros 1-0 final. Keuchel/Gregerson shutout.

[baddog]

Astros take 2 of 3 from Detroit and got to 5-8, 2 games out of 1st. Up next....Rangers.

[UTfanatic]

I lost interest after 162-0 vanished

lol

[baddog]

Astros are stinking it up this year. No hitting with RISP. Pitching doesn't smell much better.

Let's see....can't pitch and can't hit. The two basice elements of baseball. Not good.

Just as soon as I bad mouth them, they win 7-4. Altuve went crazy. Maybe I should keep talking bad about them.

If talking bad about the Astros makes them win you need to blow up the board with trash talk. They break my hurt nightly.

Astros had bases loaded, no outs in the bottom of the 1st and we manage to not plate a single run. Impressive. Currently bases loaded in bottom of the second with 2 outs. Correa up. Lets see what happens

[HasBeen36]

Dont worry. Grounded into FC

[baddog]

Why we don't pinch hit for Gomez (.200) is beyond me. Guess he would throw a tantrum.

[king]

They won't make the playoffs this year

[baddog]

They're not in so bad of shape as to count them out just yet. They are only 7 games back in their division. Just need to put together a string of wins, maybe 7-8 and everything will be fine.

Gomez is a bum. Bregman may be called up soon

[baddog]

Agree about Gomez. Didn't see today's game, but why pitch to Poppy? Make somebody else beat you.

[BS Wildcats]

Gomez stinking it up again today.

Called Springer off a ball that he couldn't get to but Springer could. Turned out to be the game winning hit. Never have liked Gomez.

Played 3rd at CC few days ago. Valbeuna has had one good game all season...could we see Bregman at 3rd? Or even maybe Moran? Tucker was optioned, so who do you think is on the rise?

[HasBeen36]

Maybe Kemp? Idk. Wish they would announce it so I could quit playing GM in my mind. 

[baddog]

Today's game against the D-backs, had Altuve been running full speed from the getgo on that triple instead of spitting and jogging to 1st, he could have possibly gotten an inside the park HR.

Astros have won 6 of their last 7 games and seem to be playing better.  They have a huge 4 game series at the Rangers next week that could tighten the race.  The Rangers just seem to have their number.  

[PhatMack19]

Springer walkoff bomb in the 11th!!  

5 straight wins and 8 of last 9.

Still 6.5 back. Need to keep it up.

[JWB]

MAN,I like Springer in that lead off spot!

[baddog]

Astros complete the sweep of the A's. Stros have now won 11 of 12? Just what I said was needed, but the Rangers keep winning so we are still 7 back. Need Mariners to take one tonight.

It will all come down to whether or not the Stros can beat the Rangers. So far, the Rangers are way ahead.

Go Stros!
