Got a split on Ludwick`s offense.....Glad he is coming back to form.

Rasmus looks pretty good but i cant believe he got on bas 3 times ahead of albert and he didnt get close to knocking him in.....Damn shame.......Thank god thatluddy is back to last years form.

They need to do something with ankiel...........dude is killing us out there.

Nice way for StL to end the first half of the season. If you would have told me Chicago would be 3rd in the division at the break I would have seriouslylaughed. Now lets see that new park shine during the ASG!

Stros

coming for that second half push

 

[arstyle27]

I have no words for the atrociousness.............

 

[pacmagic2002]

Yall got a split......Didnt loose the series and it wasnt like it was a blowout.

There is still an entire half a season left.

 

[DownByLaw]

Being in 1st at the break is

Hell yea...........Im pretty pissed that my wedding rehearsal was changed from thursday to today RIGHT before everything starts downtown.

I wish i could have gotten some tickets to either the game or the home run derby but the wedding sucked up all my funds for this year.

Soriano is HORRIBLE right now.

When he is on, he goes on streaks like no other, but when he is off.....

Serious, we may need to look into just lettin him move on. I loved his signing, thought he would be great for our team, but he doesn't steal basesanymore, when he tries he gets hurt, he can't really add anything of value in the field, he has friggin 29 RBI's AT THE BREAK, for the low low price of138 million.

Yeeeeaaaaaah.

And Bradley and his 30 mil with a ski mask as well.

I understand we can make a run. We could turn the switch on, but we're 4 months in, and these guys are sitin around doin nothin. We need to free some ofthe dead weight and do it fast. Problem is, most of our players value is so far down, we can't move them, Sori, Harden, Aramis, Z, Demp.

Lee is about the only one who's value is up right now.

I don't think we need to blow up the whole roster, I'd be happy just moving one or two guys, Sori, Lee, or Harden the first 3 we should try tounload.
Ramirez, Z, and I guess Dempster can stay.

But this group as constructed is not working, we gave up too many glue guys, and it shows.

What a damn nightmare.

 

[sickickz23]

^ I agree. In a way, I'm thinking, one good hot streak, and if we get hot at the right time......who knows? no team is pulling away. But there's abunch of overpriced, overpaid egos on this team that might ruin our chances.

This reminds me of the 2004 season. So much talent, but coming up short.

 

[CP1708]

Let's just win tonight and for at least one night let us think that we still have something here.

Mike and Mike was sayin we need to pull off something like 47-29 the rest of the way to reach 90 wins (projected total needed to win division or wild card)

We aren't goin 47-29 all of a sudden, just two teams right now have above 18 games over .500 records, LA and Boston.

Damn.

Oh well, just win every game we can and hope for some collapse or the win total to maybe drop to 85-86 or so.

Should be an interesting run down the stretch.

 

[arstyle27]

Gotta take 2 of 3 from Nats...maybe even a sweep


Let's see if the offense finally wakes up.

 

[sickickz23]

^ It's actually a 4 game series so I'm think you meant 3 out of four.

If we split.........

And I don't think 90 wins will take get the division crown in the NL Central. I'm thinking more like 85-87.

 

[jdcurt2]

Big series against the crew, HAVE to take 3 outta 4

 

[stringer bell 32]

Milton Bradley is going to start hitting...I'd put money on that

[clutch 713]

Come on Astros...up 3-0 right now in LA.
