re: DAT 7/31: Tampa Bay (Cobb) @ Houston (Morton) 7:10 CT - DEADLINE DAY EDITION

I must say fellas, I have read the ENTIRE 43 page thread (Jesus Christ), and even though I have enjoyed the hell out of it, I completely understand the people that are melting over this. Considering we needed to make a deal for both starting pitching and relief pitching, and literally the only deal we make is for a very garbage, aging pitcher in Francisco Liriano, I am pretty disgusted by what we did at the trade deadline, which wasn't much. We needed to trade for a Darvish, Gray, Hand, Britton, etc, but instead all we got was Liriano. Not impressed with what Lunhow did for us. Considering this is by far the best team we've ever had, and this is by far the best chance we have at winning a World Series title, he should have been aggressive, and yet he was the exact opposite. Not impressed Lunhow. My grade for him at the deadline is a solid F. Throw in the fact that McCullers is back on the DL. As big of an optimist as I always am with the Houston Astros, I have a feeling that they will BADLY struggle the next several games. At least we have a huge lead. BRING ON THE JIM BEAM!!!!
