Embarrassing


This is probably the worst Astros team ever assembled. I am an avid life long fan and worked for the Astros at one time, so this is hard to deal with. I understand rebuilding. I understand getting younger and building for the future. This organization is stuck in the middle of rebuilding and trying to go .500. MAKE A CHOICE. Hopefully new ownership will decide which direction they want to go...SOON. The trades that have been made in the last 5 years have had little positive effect on the field and most of them have had a negative impact on the future of the team/farm system. And by trying to stay competitive and trying to "build a champion" the Astros have been stuck with mid to late 1st round draft picks or none at all...not much to be excited about. The Astros do not have a closer, the bullpen is an absolute joke, and no player with over 10 HR's (come one guys, some teams have 5). Things do have to get worse before they get better, and we have some young talent to work with, but by that time Pence and Bourne will be past their prime. I'm sure everything I said has already been said, but Kinsler's moon shot off of Myers tonight put me over the top. Drayton, thanks for some of the memories, but go back to delivering groceries. Ed, stop. Tal, take your hill and head off in to the sunset. Brad, good luck. Me, done for now...
