You hit the nail on the head I think DOB. This team isn’t the best in MLB, or even the best in the NL, but they never give up and that’s why we’re in 1st place. Hooray for sheer determination!

Wagner instead of Soriano
Lowe deal
Kawakami Deal
Trade Vazquez for crap
Escobar trade
ankiel and farns

Just Wagner,AGon, and Farnsworth have cost the braves 13 games (at least)

Wren sucks!

DOB, it’s the Astros.

I don’t want them to be resiliant against the Astros. I want them to kill the Astros. I want them to play like the first place team their record says they are.

Be resiliant against a good team and I’ll be impressed.

Having said that, they have been at times. I’m not saying they haven’t. I’m just saying beat the freaking Astros. They’re in fourth place.

Not that I care too much but the Astros must really be feeling bad about this game and last night’s comeback by the Bravos…..

What a horrible inning that was for Wagner – 2 slow rollers to third, a pop out, fly out, and a line drive single, on which the runner possibly should have been thrown out…

I bet the Astros wish they had a closer who only gave up one run. McCann grand slam.

See, Mac wouldn’t have that GS if Wagner had gotten the save.

At the top of the screen on the Astros broadcast it said it was Matt Diaz’ 6th HR – someone not paying attention to the pinch hitter…
