The Astros are coming home for a quick series after a long-ass road trip. They lost two out of three to both the Marlins and the goddamn Mets, but they also pulled off a five-game winning streak including four against the Phillies. Hopefully the veterans reminded everyone to wipe their dicks on the curtains before leaving Philadelphia. Now the Astros come home for three games against the Shitbirds before going right back on the road.

Time for last minute sunburns that you hope will ripen into a golden brown tan that doesn’t fade until Spring. Or you can just treat yourself to a trip to Puerto Rico, and come back to make us all jealous with your bronzed glow…but that is another story.
Mets at Astros: I See Your Schwartz is as Big as Mine
If you ignore the Pirates, and why wouldn’t you as they have been mathematically eliminated from major league baseball, the Mets and the Astros sport the two most anaemic offenses in the National League. Between them they are last and second-to-last in batting average, runs scored, hits, RBI, on-base percentage and slugging. That stinks worse than…New Jersey! Read the rest of this entry »
Pirates @ Astros, 8/13 – 8/15/10 — A Ratings Nightmare

I am deeply sorry to report that Mark will not be here for this Pirates Preview. Instead, you get me. The guy who knows nothing about baseball.
