And basically a replay this afternoon.

Fake Gattis took ole boy deep. They call it timely hitting, I call it expected.

Tomorrow night the Astros will try for a 3rd time to get to 32 games over .500. Their nemesis James Paxton, who has beat them 3 times already this season alone, will face Houston once again.

Last year, the Astros had a mid-year slump that directly followed a double-digit win streak. They went 37-37, sandwiched around a 64-24 record.
This year, the Astros had a mid-year slump that directly followed a double-digit win streak. Except this year, instead of lasting almost half the season, it only lasted 25 games. They went 12-13, sandwiched around a 61-29 record.

No Springer, Altuve, Correa, McCann, McCullers. No problem?

It's time to strike off that question mark, and make it an exclamation point.

Oh yeah, all eyes on Justin Verlander tomorrow night, as he goes for career win #200. Will Correa play Thursday, or will he wait until Friday?

Yep. You'd figure we'd know by now if Correa was starting tonight.

I'll be at Friday's game with my Dad and my son, so looking forward to that. Staying at the Marriott Marquis as well.

That place is so pretty! Have a good time

Im staying there for our anniversary. I'll be at the game Saturday for sure. Might go Friday too.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, Verlander is way worse at home.

I thought about cutting it off, I'm gonna keep it on see if the Mariners can break 20 on us.

Long night so far.

This is the most gaddamn nerve wracking ***** ****ing hate this crap.

right now every bad call just crushes us.... We are so beat up that we can't afford to get screwed and overcome it.... We throw a pitch to a guy a foot taller than Kemp, that is lower than the pitch that was called a strike on Tony and should have been strike three, but it is inexplicably called a ball, and then a double on that at bat opens the flood gates

Follow @astrosump

Pretty neat to see how they call balls and strikes.

during my coaching days, I didn't think much about the refs when I had a team that was good enough to overcome a few bad calls.... when I was at a place where we were good, but we needed things to go our way some I obsessed about the refs because our margin for error was so thin that we were unlikely to overcome being screwed by the officials....

I'm seeing that now with half our best on the DL

Bad stretch right now ...

Vomit.

Every ball the we hit is right to someone.

So weird that this team is more dangerous on the road this year.

I'm most curious to see if the Red Sox can keep this insanity up. Will they be the 27 Yankees or the 01 Mariners?

Lots of radio guys think the RedSox are emptying the clip right now. We shall see.

OK, time to break the 7-game home losing streak

Or not. These guys are not seeing or hitting the ball well at all today.

(hopes the reverse jinx works)

** sigh **

Still snakebit

Tied it up finally going into the top of the 9th. 2-2, Go 'Stros!!!

Loved the 8th inning, not so much the 9th.

Well, crap.

Third straight game the Astros can only get the offense going for one inning.

This sucks.

Time to start winning again.

Overdue, actually. I understand we took a lot of injuries, but come on.
