Would this be the most embarrassing loss of the season for the Astros? :lol:

Considering it's coming at the hands of the lowly Nationals, YES. I bet they're having a meltdown at the Astros board.

...We needed a game like this.  Hell, lets go for 20. 

Make it 30. The Astronauts play in a retractable dome while we're in an INCOMPLETE stadium ball park, built on ground where 120 people were murdered.

I guess our most embarrassing loss happened about 18 injuries ago then.

Some posts from their board:

BORK needs to be released along with 80% of the rest of this awful baseball team...along with the manager...+ the entire coaching staff.

The Astros are terrible.

Quote

This game = Lowpoint in Astros history.

Tim Redding (the pitcher that wasn't good enough for our team) is peeing in our collective mouths.

Kill yourself, Drayton.

If anyone thinks we haven't hit rock bottom by now, I think this game confirms that. What's the saying, "Nowhere to go, but up?"

That does look like a big crowd.  Surpringly so because I don't think the Astros travel well.

Just maybe thought you planted a seed to get those anguished quotes.

That's hilarious. So now they know what it's like for us on a daily basis. I bet we have one of the busiest communities as far as game threads go.

A few more:

yep this game is horrible. a pitcher we gave up cause he was so bad, is currently in line for a shutout win.......these stros are so darn depressing....

Quote
This is making me sick to watch!

Quote
bleh we're horrible....

Quote

Great shot of Valverde clowning around in the bullpen after Roy O leaves and we get lit up in the 2nd inning.

I'm glad he's so amused, too bad we're stuck watching this joke of a team.

One of the posters in a houston astros board suggested that because Belliard admired his first jack Redding should get one on the head. They obviously have their version of Minty Fresh over there. :?

Have we hit 3 homers in the same game at home before?

I thought that was Mike Hughes' JOB.

The Lerners should change the team name from the Nationals to the Lowly Nationals.  They'd make a pile of money selling new merchandise.  We could then retain Guzman.

It'd be nice if Shell could finish the game for the save but I have a feeling Manning will pitch the 9th.

I am NOW convinced that sportsfan883 posts on BOTH the Nationals board AND the Astros board.  He HAD to have written all of those quotes himself.  He could just be copying and pasting from another game here.

A shutout would be too cool.
