It is now official. I am done with the Stros for this year. They did NOTHING to better themselves for a run to the postseason. The Rangers beefed up to try and make a run and so did the Dodgers, but did the Astros............NO! I cant believe they didnt get anyone. Oh well, according to the ballclub there's always next year.

Just my opinion, but what good did it do us??? :thinking:

i think they gave him too much money too, but i'm not saying that it was a bad pick up. if the bullpen didn't suck so bad, he would be like 5-2 by now, and these accusations wouldn't be happening.

also, as much as i like everett, i was really hoping that they would get tejada. that would have done wonders for the astros (who are lacking a true 3 hole hitter with Berkman hurt).

Just goes to show you, the people who run and manage that team are more interested in filling the seats and making money than having a good ball club. Clemens' name sells tickets....end of story. kinda sad really.

well, i wouldn't say that they gave up.....they prolly just didn't want to give up any minor league prospects for big names............which isn't that bad of a thing.

presonally i still think that the stros' will give the Central a run for their money..........not to mention the wild card. :)

he is just in a slump. he is still in the top 10 in the league in saves.

he needs to throw his slider for strikes, and he needs a third pitch (i.e. - change-up, curveball, cutter)

yah....3 years ago he wont the cy young with a 2.98 ERA, last year he finished 2nd in the ballotting because we couldnt score runs for him with a rock bottom 1.87 ERA , and this year he has a 2.09 ERA and should probably be 7-1 if not 8-0...im sorry but you wont find another pitcher in the majors that has ERAs that low, but yall r right he is old an washed up....good lord, do you people not watch baseball??? him and Oswalt are the 2 most dominate pitchers in the national league, if not all of baseball, that is a deadly 1-2 punch on any team that can score runs...you can say what you want about yeah we need to add a bat but the fact that we cant hit the ball is all the more reason to have a pitching staff that can actually pitch, lord knows what our record would be w/ an average pitching staff, my guess is we would be fight w/ the pirates to stay outa the NL cellar...

Over the last 30 days.....heres soem stats...

MLB Wins...hes 41st w/ 2

MLB S/O's: hes 13th w/ 33

MLB ERA: hes 7th (must admit...not too bad) w/ a 2.00

I wouldnt exactly call that dominating, but you're going to blame it on the bats right? When they win the game for the Stros...the pitcher gets the credit....so when they lose, he takes the credit as well...its called a TEAM.

i'm done w/ you and this argument...you win...you get the Astros/Clemens Superfan of the Year award...lemme contact Big Daddy Russ and we'll get that right over to you.

hes not the problem. the problem is the other 8 losers who cant hit behind him when he is on the bump. Roger Clemens is the only bright spot in the roster right now, other than former CC Hook- Matt Albers and current CC Hook Hunter Pence. If they could get the bats alive when Rocket is pitching, things would be better. Last year... he dominated the league when on the bump. He had a less than 1 era... and did his record show for it... NOPE!!! the stros cant hit.

It's not that hard guys. The ERA is 2. All the Astros have to do is average is more than 2 runs a game.

They can't do that.

As for Clemens being another Jodan?

Sorry. Clemens is still pitching like hwas when he was in his 20's. Jordan with the wizzards was not the Jordan of the Bulls.

THe older Clemens gets, his ERA gets even LOWER!

I mean, ****, if that's not a sign of the guy dominating, I don't know what it is.

The man has an era of 2. Yes, he was 7th in the month, but over the course of the season, I doubt you'll see more than one or two STARTING pitchers with a lower ERA.

Watch the language....lhpm

W/L is the most worthless stat for a ML Pitcher. They have no control on what happens after they leave the game. it was 5-1 for Rocket the other night and Over the Walls Qualls let it go. Roger is still the most dominate pitcher in baseball right now. If we follow your strategy, we should stop paying players like oswalt, berkman, or ensberg who, due to certain circumstances, cannot get the results that we are used to. The run support SUCKS and that is the ONLY reason Roger has a low W/L. The most important thins to remember is that he only has 8 starts. 33 SO's and a 2.00 ERA is pretty impressive. I would call it dominating.

They could get that way. According to several sources, oswalt and Lidge are pretty hacked with the front office that their names were brought up in trade talks. I can understand why Oswalt feels that way, but couldnt Lidge have seen this coming? I really hope O isnt pissed seeing as he is the best and most consistent pitcher in the roatation.

Well your point was nothing would happen... bringing up the fact that nothing is happening tonight (which is for damn sure) in a way of "I told you so" makes me think you're bragging that you were right, that the Astros would not produce to get in, meaning they'd lose, which is what they're doing tonight and what you're bragging about...

You lack the faith man, you gotta keep the faith... chances are nothing will happen, but true fans of teams have faith (until no math could produce anything successful for them, in which case you support them through the end of their season)...

BTW, I was using the term " 'Stros Fan " loosely

Im still a fan, i still support them, but I dont want to. Why would I WANT to when even the team is giving up on themselves? I kept the faith last year when they were WAY below .500 at the beginning. I just cant have faith in a team that doesnt have it themselves.

Im still a fan, i still support them, but I dont want to. Why would I WANT to when even the team is giving up on themselves? I kept the faith last year when they were WAY below .500 at the beginning. I just cant have faith in a team that doesnt have it themselves.

And you know they have given up on themselves HOW?

I mean in football you can tell... the guy gets the ball and instead of turning it upfield on 3rd and 7 he runs straight to the sideline...

But in baseball? What, they didn't hit the ball? That's been happening since the start of the year...

The bullpen gave up some runs? That happened earlier in the year...

They look down? They never smile from what I know, and this sure wouldn't be the time to be smiling anyway...

I agree

You can read peoples body language. In the middle of a game they completely change. They dont look determined when they are down. They always look beat. Its not hard to tell if someone has given up.

Well I understand your whole deal on them not looking determined... I don't see it but maybe you're Mr. Cleo...

I know you're a fan, but you gotta hang in there and try and not rub it in my face if they don't get the wildcard :D

The Rangers beefed up to try and make a run and so did the Dodgers, but did the Astros............NO! I cant believe they didnt get anyone. Oh well, according to the ballclub there's always next year.

you should have been done with the stros when they got swept in the series last year...haha

The only thing we've really ever disagreed on are the Astros as of late... but we did agree on them last year as well as plenty other things...

So until your name is Keith7, I will not dislike you

To reach that you would have to have a period for about five straight years...
