Seriously; how many saves/games does Wags have to blow before Booby gets the memo that he can’t use him back-to-back right now?

If Tommy Hanson takes a bat and rearranges the visitor’s clubhouse at the Juice Box, I think he would be perfectly justified.

Unbelievable. I wish Billy would come through more often, I know he is getting older and it is tougher to pitch back to back nights, but he really needs to be able to put a bad to mediocre Astro’s team away. It is really frustrating to know you need at least 2 runs when your closer comes in to have a chance

If you can’t hold a lead over the ’stros in the latter innings, why would anyone think we can hang with the other elite teams during crunch time

Bobby can’t keep using Wagner like the dude is 25 years old. I don;t think he can pitch back to back anymore.

Does Tommy Hanson constantly take the bullpen’s per diem or something? It’s uncanny how many wins the ‘pen has cost him the last few weeks.
Also, DOB, why not give Wagner the day off after he pitched last night? It really seems like he’s wearing down as the season goes on, and this was a perfect opportunity to let Saito close it out (like Sunday).

How many games since the allstar break does bobby cox need to see Billy “im old tired and done” Wagner BLOW THE GAMES IN THE 9th WITH A LEAD before he STOPS CLOSING…Sit him for 2 weeks let saito or venters close…This is a joke he sucks now..He gave us a great 1st half thank u for that billy but you dont have it anymore you suck your terrible now u blow saves more than u actually get the save now youre a joke…LET VENTERS CLOSE COX…You will cost this team the season if you dont make some changes…Wagner sucks now he needs atleast 2 weeks off to get his location and stamina back to what it was in the 1st half…GIve him rest let him work on somethings and then let him comeback… bc he does more harm for this team pitching in the bottom of the 9th now than he does good…

waggs and glaus should both be DL’d for 15 days just to keep bobby from using them….lord knows given the chance, bobby will run them both out there time and time again
