re: Most embarrassing team in baseball

You aren't very old are you? This is vintage Astro playoff baseball. Throughout their history, their hitters vanish without a trace during their rare appearances in the playoffs-sort of like a whole team of ARods.

It was tough growing up as a kid that loved sports in Louisiana when your two closest professional teams were the Saints and the Astros. So in case you ever wonder why there are so many Yankee and Cowboy fans here, folks had to have someone to pull for in the playoffs.
