I am just ready for Astros fans to be patient... People have to realize that the Astros will not be good will Carlos Lee (signed through 12) will not be good with Clint Barmes (1-2 more years) will not be good with their 2nd basemen (1-2 more years) will not be good without either Towles or Castro running away with the catchers position (1 year) will not be good until a couple more pitchers are ready (1-2 more years). We are [b]young[/b]. 2 more years of rebuilding.. And you're looking at a solid club for the next 10 years.

Pence is a good player and just about the lone bright spot for the team, but still not good enough to get much in a trade. I think he is the kind of a player that you keep and add pieces to. Lets face it, the Astros are not good right now, but if you had another starter and anything that resembled a bullpen they would still be competitive. Not saying i am satisfied with the rest of the pieces but you could compete. Wandy, Meyers, Norris & Lyles can compete and Happ does every other start or so, but as soon as they leave the game it is over. The number of blown saves tells tou that if this team had a bullpen things would be a lot different. BRANDON LYON HAS GOT TO GO. Why would you hang on to him?

Do we really want to trade Pence and go ahead and watch all the 15 thousand people who go to the game disappear? If not anything you have to keep Pence just to keep a crowd. Pence brings an excitement to a club that you can't get in just any player. And saying that he is an average player is not correct. He is a very good overall player. He can throw, field, hit, run, and lead with work ethic. He is only 28 so if you could get some decent players to surround him in the next few years you'd be fine. Pence has hit around .300 for a couple years without anyone to protect him! Imagine if he had guys on base with a big bat behind him? And if we somehow do trade him we shouldn't trade him to the phillies. It seems like half our team if from trades or players from the Phillies. WE ARE THE ASTROS, NOT the PHILLIES! So quit trying to trade for every single on of their prospects and build some of our own!?

Pence may have played his last game tonite and wish him the best. Pence rocks and Wade sucks crap and here we sit on our way to loose a hundred games. Really? I dont trust his judge in talent and hope crane is making the calls. Get out of town drayton and your posse.

Ya Ruth nice huh and really makes me proud to be a season ticket holder. Good news is that we set a record this year bc had three pitchers by the same last name pitch in a single game. Rodriguez's............. nuff said I live and die by my teams but worse than the days of Harry the Hat Walker and Spec Richardson days.

I for one am glad we made this deal. Let's face it Astros are a long way from being relevant again, and as much as I like pence we need a lot more help then he can provide. This deal gives us the Phillies top 2 prospects in singleton and cosart both are also ranked in the top 25 mlb prospects. For years we have been depleting our farm system for people like Carlos lee and it finally caught up with us. We have to rebuild the farm system and this trade is a good start.

I beg to differ bc Pence put fans in the stands so you want to go watch Jason Michaels in right? Im glad that Pence is gone I do not trust Eddie Wade for nothing. he got way to much credit for what happen in Philly............. Rumor has it that when Crane gets the team that whole staff is gone and the GM from Tampa is from Houston and might come home.  ;D

Our attendance is down this year and were on pace to lose 110 games.  People weren't going to the games anyway and pence is not a superstar.  Regardless of how you feel about wade this was a good deal.  We have to build for the future.

I wish Pence the best in Philly. Happy that he gets to play for a winner for at least the next 2.5 years. Got to be tough going to the yard every day knowing your chances of winning are great. Hate to see him go but the Astros are at least 4 years from competing. You have to try to load up on young talent and pray that some of it develops into something worthwhile. Wish there was someway to dump Carlos Lee and let all these kids play and compete and get better.I was hoping they would land the Brown kid and some pitching in return but oh well. Seems the Astros have become quite the pipeline and farm team for the Phillies. Somebody metion Hunsicker coming back. I would love to see that. He built the mid 2000s Asros that competed for the NL pennants through free agency and the farm. And also got the Rays to be a respectable and competitive club once he arrived there.

It's a good deal because we got the phillies top pitching and top hitting prospect both are also top 25 mlb prospects. Before them we had nobody in the top 40 prospects in our farm system. The singleton kid is only 19 years old ofcourse he is in a ball. We got the best we could get for pence and the phillies way over payed for him imo.

      I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

      Virginia Judge Rules State Of Virginia Can't Strike Noncitizens From Voter Rolls!

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
