I hate a rough week, and this is not helping.

Well we have to win a little this year. I must say I am enjoying the hell out of it!!! I will pull for you guys when the year is over.

That Home Run by Bregman was really nice to see.

He is an excellent player!

Just some perspective, today is my brother's birthday so I went to visit him. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's 3 1/2 years ago, and it's been nasty in progression. He's lost the complete use of one arm and leg, two fingers on the other arm, and while he can still speak he's developed that funny tilt to his head that Stephen Hawking had.

He's not handling the limitations well, and was kind of hard to speak with today. I really wanted something good after a difficult visit.

Sorry oldbear. Must be hard to see him like that. Always so hard to see our love ones suffer Prayers up

I have a friend who has Parkinson's. It is difficult to see the progression with both physical and cognitive challenges. Puts things in perspective.

Yeah. Problem is, he collects stamps and used to go to stamp shows all over the country. He really wanted to go to a show in Columbus Ohio, but there's no way he could get the approvals from the assisted living center, his doctor, or my sister who handles his finances.

Intellectually I get it, but emotionally it's really tough. I can't imagine how I'd cope if I were the one going through Parkinson's.

On the plus side, he got three cakes.

Maldonado loses grip on a strikeout, lets Guzman reach. Better fix that real fast.

In the meantime, he's blocked everything else, didn't cost a run, and the Rangers don't have a stolen base on him.

Guzman did score. Just being nit-picky

Can't get a break, Tyler thrown out at home

Announcer just said Astros are 0-4 with RISP, would love to see Springer change that with some RBI

Now 0 for 5 with RISP today, only 1 hit with RISP this weekend.

That's baseball, but getting swept at home by the Strangers is a mortal sin.

This is by far the crappiest weekend of baseball I have seen from the Astros in at least 2 years.

Lots of time to come back and fix the mess, but from wild pitching to batting to field errors, this weekend has been one of the worst team efforts I can remember.

Damn. So many chances to tie it up. Disappointing series.

Not blaming them, not really blaming anyone, but the weekend sucked and that's a fact.

****ing right

8 over at home


20 over on the road

Well that was a sucky series. Need to bounce back but that is hard to do when the Astros are missing those 3 dudes. I do find it cute the Flower Mound fans started their own thread about sweeping us. I guess that will be all they have come October. Go 'Stros!!!!

Yea that cracks me up. Dead last now, gonna finish dead last.

We were laughing at Odor, slapping hands and bat flipping like he did something, while he's 22 games out of first place. Have fun, leprechaun.

Lol I just went through that thread. Must be a sad season if that's the highlight of the year for them.

I mean I like winning the SIlver Boot and all away from West Tyler as much as the next Astros fan, but in the end H-Town has the Commissioner's Trophy, they don't, and all is right in the World.

What's most shocking to me, Dallas usually doesn't trouble themselves talking smack to Houston. I was born and raised in Dallas, never really gave any Houston teams grief. I guess now that we share a division, it's different.

For a guy obtained for his defense, it sure has not come as advertised. He got bailed out by a bunt being called foul, on which Maldonado threw wildly to 3rd. What has come as advertised is his sucky bat.

with McCann, who I love, being questionable for the future, getting a young GG winner is a great move long term

Oh I think Machete will pan out. I'm just saying, this last stretch of games hasn't been ideal. I'm fine with dropping a game or 2, that's baseball. Just hate dropping series.
