Anybody hoping this loss sticks now? Somebody would have to pay for a loss like this with their job, if anyone in this organization still had their balls.

The strategy of throwing 2 strike center cut fastballs sure is something.

And I’m not sure if it’s been said but the dogs at the ballpark thing is so stupid. The dogs have no idea what is going on…I have no idea why anyone would want to bring their dog to a stadium.

Just looking at the box score, but why the hell did he pull Teng? Just like last night you have a reliever moving right through the lineup…get him out of there.

This loss after yesterday has a high likelihood of triggering a collapse.

Jerkoff Joe isn't even there. Apparently, it take a village.

Yep. And as much as I hate that they’ll be the ones doing it, the Yankees will be up to the task of making sure of it.

This crew of nutless wonders will almost assuredly lay down the rest of this game and for the remaining month.

Credit Kotsay for managing this game like it actually matters to them.

The manager of a dead team knows how to manage to win better than anyone the Astros employ.

How many pitches will we see this inning? My guess is

Altuve 1
Varsho 4
Walker 3

Altuve challenges a strike. Swings a misses a ball

Incredible to finish the homestand like they did after that crazy walkoff on the Friday night against the Mariners.

Fireabley bad. It’s a shame Joe’s not there to wear this mess
