This is why we won't get our hopes up about the wild card. We can't hold on to a fricking lead

Dude it's not the coaches fault. The pitchers just aren't contention worthy. If you thought they would contend coming into the season with their rotation you are crazy. They are just one really good pitcher from contending, and hopefully they will get him in the offseason.

Ben Sheets is the answer

There Lineup is good enough to win but they need another starting pitcher or two to contend.

Been saying that all year. And IMO one really good pitcher away. I just dunno if they can bid enough for Ben Sheets I do believe they will make a run for him though

If we get sheets and can keep Wolf the rotation looks like this for next year.
Oswalt, Sheets, Wolf, Backe, Wandy. Maybe Felipe Paulino but he is in the same position as backe..coming back from TJ.

What the frick Coop? He is obviously not committed to winning this game and wants the bullpen to be fresh for Cincy. Brandon is shite and doesnt need to go back and pitch so fricking pinch hit for him!

Putting all your eggs in the Ben Sheets basket is a risky move at the price he will command.

But it's not like the Astros will be any good next season without taking a gamble.
