Roy Oswalt Traded
In a move that surprises no one except maybe Astros Fans hiding in a cave for the last three months, the Houston Astros traded away one time ACE Roy Oswalt to the Philadelphia Phillies for much more than a horse or a bulldozer. Indeed what Houston got back in return was J.A. Happ, a tall left handed pitcher who has basically been a promising ready for the majors #2 or #3 starter. Haap experienced elbow problems this year setting him back several months, however, Astro fans are used to this sort of thing (*cough* Paulino *cough* Norris *cough*), so no worries.
April 2010 Spike and Star Award Winner
Posted under Featured, Monthly Awards
The winners or better yet, winner, of the April Spike and Star Award for the month of April in 2010 has been chosen. It was not a good month for the team overall, suffering some of the worse performance by the team in perhaps all it’s history. Two eight game losing streaks, un-timely hitting, lots [...]

Cardinals at Astros – Keep Your Hands Inside the Car at All Times
Posted under Series Previews
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 [...]
The (Brotherly) Love Boat: Astros @ Phillies Series Preview
When it first debuted, I was a huge fan of the show 30 Rock. Great cast, great writing, great chemistry between the leads. Somewhere along the line, it started to get a bit lazy, though. It still has the ability to absolutely nail jokes here and there, but it’s not razor-sharp like it used to be. (Trust me, this is going somewhere.)
Astros @ Florida Summer’s Almost Over…
Just in time for back to school, the Astros hop on a plane and fly to the Sunshine State for the last trip to the beach of the 2010 season. 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 [...]

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 [...]
