I'm sitting here watching them play the Tigers, and they look like one of the worst baseball teams I've ever seen. There's a lot of resemblance to the 2003 Tigers, and they were absolutely brutal.

I haven't paid attention to what's been happening with them, but what happened to Houston? Why have they fallen so far?

We don't spend any money. It's going to be awesome when we can start paying these studs we're drafting though.

Every clueless poster who thinks the Astros are merely pulling a Cleveland Indians from Major League should read this article and get an idea of the organization's long-term plan and strategy (what people who follow the team already understand).

....or if anyone asking "what's wrong with the Astros....

Here's a spot on article. Couldn't have been written any better.

It doesn’t take much digging to figure out why this team is so terrible. The Astros’ opening day payroll for the entire roster was smaller than some individual players’ salaries in the league. There are five Astros who are signed to multi-million dollar deals for this season, and those five make a shade under $10 million combined.
