    We needed the win....15 games left...disappointing to not take it advantage of bottom feeders.

    ....okay. Go ahead and end this one already Pressly. The magic is done for tonight....just give us the W.

    Edit: Phew.....avoided the Sweep to the lowly A's.

    I really wanted that no-hitter, but they don't deserve it after losing the first two games.

    The ONE win could've at least been a no-no.. Damn

    Bad series and a terrible series considering the Rangers swept theirs.

    Astros need a winning streak.

    Hunter had his best career start when you account for results and PC. Hope that's a sign going forward.

    Sad, not really on the no-hitter because Dusty will take full credit for saving his bullpen. H.Brown may never get another chance at a no hitter with less than 80 pitches.

    It's on the road, so a sweep with the Astros scoring 30+ runs.

    You would complain under any circumstances. Hunter Brown has never pitched this many innings in his life. Are you willing to blow out his arm for a no hitter?
