Astros first team out of playoff contention

[UrbScotty]

It is now certain that the Astros (42-86) will finish behind the Brewers (77-53) in the division and behind the Braves (77-52) for the wildcard spot.

The Astros are now 34 games behind the Brewers. I say they finish 45 games under.

And then there were 29.

1. They will have to pick up the pace to finish only 45 games under.

I've watched many a bad Astros team and this is one of them.

2. "Lastros" or "Disastros"?

Your call. :eyes:

4. They put Wandy Rodriguez on waivers

I wonder who, if anyone, claimed him.

5. The Rockies just did.

And Colorado is picking up Kevin Kouzmanoff from the A's.

6. I don't understand the moves they made lately

They got rid of Jiminez and picked up Rodriguez, who has a big contract BTW. What's up?

[El Supremo]

7. Ubaldo Jimenez didn't look too good Sunday did he?

Maybe the Rox acted at the right time.

BTW, Alex White (one of the guys traded for Ubaldo) starts tonight.

And Wandy Rodriguez was supposed to start for the 'Stros againt the Rockies tomorrow.

8. So they knew something?

Oops. Wandy is a really good pitcher.

[Renew Deal]

9. They were poised for a comeback

But things didn't work out. :)

10. All I can say is...

Love you, Astros! Thanks for Pence :)
