That's good news. They just can't seem to separate themselves any further.

Good. I still don't think this guy is as good as he's been lately.

They've had lots of guys playing over their heads it seems, Valbuena hit his 17th HR tonight in the loss. Gattis hit one as well and drove in his 40th run, this after a terrible start to the year. They are good, but we will see how long their guys sustain this pace

Valbuena with 17 HR's and a .185 BA

That is typical Astros right now as they can hit the HR ball. They are still missing Altuve.

Scheduling really fucked us this road trip.

My post from about 2:30 yesterday.

Maybe some of our luster, along with some really tough scheduling, is taking a turn back to reality.

It appears, we're on the same wave length here.

Update on Hamilton:

Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton is expected to work out at Double-A Frisco on Sunday, then take Monday off before he works out with the Rangers on Tuesday in Arlington. Then he possibly will begin a rehab assignment in his return from a strained left hamstring.

And a little "news" on CF too:

Manager Jeff Banister said Saturday that he planned for both Gallo and Shin-Soo Choo to take some fly balls in center field in case the Rangers ran into the issue before Hamilton or DeShields return.

It sure hasn't been kind along with the opponents starting pitching


You know anything about this Rebecca Creek Texas Whiskey?

My roommate drinks it, he seems to like it

None of those guys really help us in CF, hurry back DDJ

Isn't that something? Here we are approaching late June and hoping for a speedy return of a guy most of us didn't want on the 25 man roster in April.

I sure want him there now, I'll tell ya that.

 

[jta4437]

Couple decisions might need to be made, Chirinos and Corporan are useless against RHPs, Corporan even more so, Telis is at least competent against RHPs in AAA, something to consider

I always liked his versatility and speed off the bench, I wasn't as down on him as some, my frustration grew from his poor usage early on

I think what the team may be thinking is this, "our pitching staff is rolling with what we've got now. Change nothing until this ceases to be true."
