Yet another sweep.

Brett Wallace has a nice 3 hit game and is lookin good in his little time here in the bigs.

Per the Astros twitter feed:

Matt Downs and JD Martinez have been optioned to OKC. Greene will be activated and there will be a corresponding move tomorrow

was not expecting a 4-game sweep. Astros drop to 1-7 in August. Brewers in town next

Hopefully they call up Paredes for the corresponding roster move

How many times in MLB history has a team sent its leading RBI man (Martinez) down to the minors in August when he wasn't hurt?

Guy was hitting .282 and on pace for 120 RBI after one month. This team ... good god.

Astros twitter feed posted that Delino DeShields will be skipping A+ Lancaster and going straight to AA with Springer

And, of course, as I say that they have updated the feed saying that he's going to Lancaster, not Corpus.

Good question. I don't know the answer though.

That's the problem with this team right now...Full of AAAA players. We need our real prospects to start taking shape and turn this thing around.

I agree.

I was watching the pre game show yesterday and pitching coach Doug Brocail said "they have a bunch of guys who would be in triple A on any other team".

Sometimes the truth may hurt but it's better to just be honest.

Fernando Martinez has been called up.

Im guessing Paredes will have to wait until September

I know it's probably a few years away at least, but the average ERA among our starting pitching draft picks this year at Tri City is 2.62. We just need these guys to continue to develop and advance through the ranks in a timely manner.

Seeing these uniforms brings back great childhood memories from The Dome.

Sadly, it also reminds me of those 3 straight division series they lost. God I hated the Braves. And the Padres and Kevin Brown for a postseason.

Most boring uniforms in our history

Ridiculous.

On another note, Kevin Brown screwed us out of the 98 WS. That Stros team was SICK

oh my, I missed the stunning comeback last night!

and speaking of Kevin Brown...he was one of the pitchers that benefitted from, uh, well, let's just say he morphed into the incredible hulk on the mound
