Astros Lose Opener!!

[Vrabird]

Astros blow a 4-2 lead in bottom of ninth inning. Brandon Lyon couldn't get job done in last inning. Not a very good start to 2011 season. They built a lead on Roy Halladay and the Phillies, but couldn't hold it. Brett Myers pitched a good game, but bullpen bloews it in the end.

It wasn't from 93-06. But you were probably still crapping your pants back then so we'll give you a pass.:p ;)

Last year he had the most saves in the majors from August til the end of the season with 19 but dont think he had the pressure he has now.

That might have been the Astros one and only chance to win a game this year and they blew it. 0-162, here they come.

its easy to win when there's no hope of going to the playoffs....

The Astros will not go 0-162, but they will have a rough year. I predict they will win about 70 games this year.

i agree....and 20 of those wins will come in september when they are 25 games out......for the life of me i can't see why people invest in them......some of my best memories growing up were at astros games but now i'd much rather my money go to high schoolers, at least they aren't putting the junior high team on the field pretending they are the big boys.......

3 down, 159 to go. Maybe they can play and exhibition game against either Brookshire Royal or Kipp academy to get some confidence.
