This quote is taken from AstrosDaily.com. It's usually my go-to source for Astros Baseball.

Changes at Astros Daily
As the team makes their transition to the American League and its inferior style of play coupled with the organization all but screaming their lack of interest in putting a competitive product on the field for 2013, the staff at Astros Daily has chosen to curtail their daily coverage of the ballclub this season. Front page updates may occur during the season on a weekly or series-by-series basis in part because of a lack of enthusiasm by the staff to follow the current club combined with a lack of access to broadcasts to independently monitor the progress of the team.

We take pride in being the home for complete information on the franchise's 51 National League seasons and hope you continue to visit us as a handy reference for this information but updating the site to reflect the 2013 season and beyond may not be as complete or timely as our readers may have come to expect from us in the past. We apologize if this inconveniences our readers. Life events as well as decisions of the club have literally made this decision for us.

AstrosDaily.com is also making itself available for sale to any reasonable buyer who promises to preserve the vast treasure trove of Astros history and presents it in a respectable manner. To inquire further about this, contact Bob



This guy Bob is letting the butthurt flow through him at levels never before seen.

And all this after an 8-3 win over Philly on saturday.

I think what he is saying is that the organization is bush league.

It's pretty bush, but since they're not directly affiliated with the Disastros, I guess it's their prerogative.

I hope this is tongue in cheek.


Also I think Luhnow will put a more competitive team on the field next year, bringing in some more vets. But I think he should have signed a couple of guys this year just to not diminish the brand too much, but its debatable.

Impossible to say without knowing what "life events" means, but yeah, he comes off as a whiny baby.

Astrosdaily is pretty much the only resource I use. Maybe the new web owner will make the site more aesthetically pleasing.

Sounds like a true fan. At first, I was upset about the move and it will definitely take some adjusting but the important thing is the change in leadership. Crane > Uncle Drayton in his later years, Luhnow >>> Purpura and > than Wade, and I don't care if they haven't played a game yet, Bo Porter will be a better manager than Cooper and Mills combined. The farm system is finally in the top 5. There are things to be excited about but this part

is true. We still don't know if or how we will be able to watch games. Check out Crawfish Boxes if you haven't already

Sound like bandwagoners. I don't frequent their website and if I did, I damn sure wouldn't go back when they decide they want to start covering the team when they're winning again. Crawfish boxes.com won't let you down. Daily content.

National League fans who are emotionally tied to pitchers hitting are strange people IMO.

Sucks that the Astros moved leagues. Will longer get to watch them on FSSW as the Reds pummel their asses.
