Astros haven’t had a losing month since May, sweep Phillies and Cardinals over 10 days.

Oswalt, Berkman: clubhouse cancers.

astros have quietly turned into a decent good-pitching light-hitting team since about mid-june

p sure i voted the 70+ wins option in that early season poll but was too scared 2 admit it at the time

well they're outplaying their pythag by 8 games in addition to the hitters overperforming in high leverage situations. they're basically having the best possible season you can get out of a .669 OPS offense

pitching is fine though

Brett Meyers has 2 of the 3 Houston hits so far today.

h8 the stros

Knocking Halladay out in 6 innings is pretty wow...

Just checked and that equals his shortest performance of 2010.

RIP Doc

lol astros

waiting for lyon to balk in the winner

whelp

Lyon looked awful.

Brett Meyers has 2 of the 3 Houston hits so far today.

and that's not even counting how many women he's slapped around today ...

jesus!

Lousy letdown night for the Mets so far, but that was a LOL DP.

Finally, a reason to cheer.

don't let a 3-run lead blind you to the home team in this series being the NL's worst.

20-year-old pitcher Jordan Lyles debuts tonight (at Wrigley).

closer Melancon is tied for the team lead in wins. it's that bad.

The much anticipated 5-1/2-foot-tall Jose Altuve debuts in the bigs today:

jOSE aLTUVE

1-for-5, just singled in 9th w/ 2 out in a tie game

hahaha, I just bet big on the Astros +1.5 vs. the Diamondbacks (meaning to win I need them to either win the game or lose by one)

8th inning, Astros lead 5-1
9th inning, Astros lead 5-2, feeling like I can't lose, since if the D'Backs do walk-off it would likely be 6-5

D'Backs tie it up in the 9th, then win on a 3-run HR in the 10th

serves me right for betting on the fuckin Astros

50 wins or bust

omg frogs that sucks :/

i'd be breaking things at that point i think

I've lost way more than that on a missed extra point in a college game - bet over 78.5 (IIRC) and they wound up at 78 after Nevada botched the XP. So I'm kind of used to the crushing loss in sportsbetting. I went to bed after the top of the 9th figuring it was locked up and had to do a double take when I saw my account balance go down. I'm actually pretty glad that I didn't watch it.

ALTUVE!

SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman
wandy has been claimed by another team. #astros can trade to that team or pull back

If they don't ditch that contract they are cray cray

supposedly the nats claimed him.. doesnt seem like a bad idea for dc if you ask me

Alex Anthopolous is hosting a press conference at 3:30. Dunno whyfor.

we missed this?
