Can we please just let Dan Wilson go and find our real manager? This is embarrassing

It was absurd to even put Wilson in this position in the first place. No experience as a coach or a manager, and they thought it was a good idea to throw him out there to manage a team in full on meltdown mode? This franchise is just so damn retarded it's unbelievable.

They aren't retarded, they are just good at milking everything they can out of the fanbase without actually having to give a damn about the team.

If I had to physically walk in and out of an office space of a baseball stadium at least once a month, I feel as though I'd care about the winning potential of the team. It's weird that there's owners who lack the ego to win ******* games.

FYI, I guess you don't remember, but I was agreeing with you that it would be worth it to trade one of our SP's for a difference making bat, like Vladdy.
Ok then so your previous post is confusing me then. But yes. Build an offense first. Pitching first philosophy just turns your organization into a giant pitching farm which will just frustrate your pitchers, and honestly it's less fun to watch. Id rather miss the playoffs with a good offense and crap pitching

This team isn't even watchable at this point.

There was a time when the bullpen was nails. Now, I just expect them to blow every lead they have. Fork has long since been inserted.

Football and Hockey time. Teams that care about WINNING.

I stopped watching almost a month ago. I'm at the point where I check the box score and then just laugh, that's about all I can do now.

I have it pinned on my phone, and I'll check from time to time. If they score some runs, I'll go watch the highlights. Other than that, not worth watching. Plus, if they have a lead now, I just expect a loss. Def. checked out a few weeks back.

Got the split, at least. 'Stros lose, so we pick up another game. Hope springs eternal. :)

First time they didn't lose a series on the road since July... And it was a 4 game split. Lol.
