Not much to recap. Complete game shutout from the young Mets righthanded starter John Maine. Frustration level for the Astros offense is at a high point. Taylor Buchholz continues to have an “Oswalt inning” every game, this time in the second allowing a freakin’ grand salami. The Astros appeared defeated after 2 innings, in my observation.

Astros at Mets – Ain’t Paying You Boys to Mets the Rose
On July - 21 - 2006
By Craig Elliott
Goddamn fucking New York Mets. I hate the cocksucking Stem like nothing else. Fucking Jeri-curled, black-and-blue, no-trade-clause-giving, Gascan-loving, unfit-to-wear-orange Mets. Their piece-of-dogshit stadium and assmunch fans can kiss my ass too. Fucking Mets.
So anyway. The Astros couldn’t even pull off a series win against the dumbass Cubs, despite throwing Roy, Roger, and Andy at them. Then the Astros responded by sending down Wandy, the team leader in wins and herpes. Matt Albers was called up for bullpen duty, so keep your fingers crossed. Purpura is still out there trying to land either another reliever or Miguel Tejada, depending upon whatever Polly Prissy Pants says at Pinwheel’s teaparty.
Also, in case you don’t read the Eastern media, the Stem have already won the National League this year. Sorry to break it to you, but it’s already been decided so we don’t even need an NLCS. Just bow down to the altar of traitors, dipshits, and snivelers, and bring on the Yankees.
Goddamn fucking Mets.

Astros at Cubs – Oh Cubby, Cubby, Where Did Our Fungo?
On July - 18 - 2006
By Craig Elliott
The Astros split four games with the Marlins, though it should have been better. Once again, Oswalt and Clemens were left searching for run support, though Aubrey Huff helped in recovering Oswalt’s game. Now it’s on to Chicago to try to dogpile the dumbass Cubs, who just suffered the indignity of giving up an 11-run inning. To the goddamn fucking Mets, who are next on the roadtrip by the way.
The Cubs are 21 games under .500, Wood and Prior are back on the DL, and Carlos Zambrano got knocked out of the All-Star game by a fungo bat. How ’bout those Cubbies?
