I respect what you are saying. I am absolutely not discounting the Berkman factor. Nonetheless, even if he was hitting, I don't think we would...
I cannot comment on other posters. However, I have watched the Astros since 1986. I have many fond memories of players throughout the years,...
It's interesting. If someone disagrees with your opinions, it's whining. If you disagree with their opinions, it's fair critique. Yet again,...
This thread is not 'whiny drivel.' It is about the pathetic state of this team. If you feel that complaints about this are 'whiny drivel,'...
You completely missed my point yet again. I did not say 'if Jason Lane had been dumped earlier, the Astros would have been great.' I stated that...
But at least there are and have been constructive actions that can be made with your or my other ideas. Berkman, of course, is a separate issue....
Do you have any suggestions for the improvement of this team that is playing horribly, or his your desire to simply trash other people's opinions...
We might have some common ground. My complaints about the other players do not negate the issues with Berkman. He is playing horribly this year....
That's true. If Munson does work out, I don't mind having Everett play. I have just hated having the Everett/Ausmus combo the last few years....
I have suggested/do suggest: 1) Fire Purpura, bring someone new, perhaps Hunsicker or perform a search for a well-qualified candidate. 2)...

I agree on Justice (especially his blog) and the trivia show of Vandemeer and Rich Lord. I really like Charlie and Matt Jackson and Jackson's...
Do you believe there are no problems aside from Berkman's ineptitude. Do you disagree that Purpura has done a poor job since he took over. Why...
My point is that the success of a team is a team effort. Role players are important. The Astros offense was not good in 2005, despite wonderful...
Of course we need our best players playing better like Berkman. That does not, however, make the rest of a team insignificant. For example, as...
The Astros going to the World Series in 2005 had NOTHING to do with the offensive abilities Brad Ausmus (except for the home run against Atlanta...
I was not 'WTF' writing about Berkman. I was writing about players like Ensberg, Ausmus, and Everett who offensive problems have continued for...
I agree with the above. Nonetheless, we would not have to 'play with what we have' if the management (i.e. Pupura) had not been so incompetent in...
It's about time Lane was demoted. Palmero, your turn.
Our goal should not be to be mediocre. That would still be bad. The team should be attempting to excel not to settle b/c we are luckily in a bad...
