Meh, it's just that they are all slumping (tell me me a player who doesn't have a slump at some point in the season and I'd call you a liar) at the same time.

And it doesn't help that Lamb is at a funeral for 3 days... he's read hot and Viz is smoking (I've always loved his swing... very graceful). The hitting will get better and the pitching is holding up fine.

Lidge is the best reliever in baseball... what a stud

I like the Yahoo game notes. Think they're panicking after Everett got hurt?

"HOUSTON SHORTSTOP ADAM EVERITT LEFT THE GAME IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST INNING DUE AT AN APPARENT LEFT LEG INJURY.

That injury did us in. Everett is the life and blood of this team. I <3 Adam.

I was at the game today. Got myself a drawstring bag, and a Berkman poster. and the stench of defeat. I fucking hate Houston's bandwagon fans. Stadium was halfempty by the 7th inning stretch. THERE WAS A FUCKING CHANT OF "LET'S GO CUBBIES" In the 8th. I tried to rile up the section I was in to no avail. I swear sometimes I wish you had to take a test to be able to buy Tickets. Or at least prove your fandomness.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

When Everett leaves the game, what do you hear from the crowd?? NOTHING. No cheers, no applause, no support for the player who leads all SS's in the NL All-Star vote. Face it, Houston's fans suck. Whether it's baseball, basketball, or anything other than NFL.

Don't despair, at least you guys can still afford to go to Minutemaid Park. Damn yuppies have driven bleachers' ticket over $50 for most games. If my cousin wasn't a ticket broker or there was no standing room 'seats' I could never go to a game.

Houston, in general, is pretty shitty.

The fans take on the personality of the team. Go to a Texans game and the fans are rowdy as fuck. The next time Jeff Bagwell does as much as a fist pump after a big play will be the first time. Astros crowds get a rep for being quiet, but it is a two way street. The product on the field is boring even if they hit 3 HRs in an inning. The last Astro we had that got hyped was Carl Everett. Lance Berkman started out that way, but he fell under the Astros veil of silence.

the yankees have hit into 2 double plays so far (almost 3 if it wasnt for an error) and just stranded a leadoff triple.

:head explodes:

It's good to start at the bottom.... :p

I know a thing or two about bad closers. My two favourite teams are the Jays and the D Backs. Lidge should be your closer. Maybe he will after tonight?

That hill is great, in MVP 2004 I hit a ball so hard that it rolled up the hill and popped up in the air so I had an easy inside the park homer

Don't get me started on that hill in MVP. It's twenty times worse. I play against Matrix and the ball just crawls once it gets onto that hill. Combine that with 1 MPH outfielders and every hit is at least a triple near that baby.
