Astros Lose!

Well, the season opened up just a bit too well, didn't it? Close wins decided late, a sweep of the Reds, and it's all just wonderful. "Kent, Beltran? Whatever." And it looked like that sentiment was valid. Until our trip to New York.

Swept by the Mets? First time since '93? Clemens throws a gem. Berke throws a gem tonight (and gets a triple to eventually score!). And we still lose. Errors in the field. Errors on the basepath. Not to sound negative, but we seem to be a Triple A defensive and hitting team with exceptional starting pitching, exceptional closing pitching, and Triple A middle relief. This is not a recipe for a winning season. I hope the Astros prove me wrong. This is a marathon, but we've tripped, have a gut hanging over our overpriced shorts, and we're struggling for breath out of the gates.
