    Astros starting pitchers on the verge of double digit K’s all three of these games... and they’re on track to lose the series. Unbelievable.

    They should be embarrassed... then again the offense has slept walk through most of this season.

    Luckily... like most of Houston I'm watching the rocket's playoff game... Just got an update on my phone about the no hitter. This offense is really slumping...

    Maybe if the Astros have a 44 year old through a perfect game at home during Sunday night baseball, that will be enough of an embarrassment to wake them up this year.

    I can't believe we're getting no-hit by this old man and his "fast" ball...

    They would never do that. And in no way should a rookie be a catalyst to anything...

    That being said, if you want to improve the lineup simply because Fisher/Marisnick/Gattis aren’t doing anything on any given night... Tucker is likely going to do that.

    Right now, I'll accept HBP retaliation this game... no perfect game and no injury.

    I bet McCann breaks it up... but unless they hit a HR, not sure how they’re going to score a run tonight.

    I bet it is going to be a joy for the position players explaining to Verlander why he got saddled with a loss after a 1 hit complete game with a dozen K’s.

    I am sure those discussions in the locker room are going to be real pleasant.

    Are we seriously going to get no hit? In our house? Verlander has earned the right to chew some ass tonight. This is f’ing pathetic. Vaunted offense? Whatever.

    I think last year it was our road trip starting in Seattle that woke us up.

    One down (no perfect game), two to go (erase no-no and shutout).

    Win too
