Astros 2008 R.I.P.?

If you believe this game thread from over at the Crawford Boxes, the Brewers just ended Houston's season with today's victory over the Astros.

Not that I take any particular pleasure in that - I don't hold any ill will towards the Astros. Except when they're trying to make the playoffs instead of the Brewers. Personally I thought their season was over quite a while ago, especially when Lee got hurt, though they have been rather hot lately.

I say, buck up Houston. You have 6 games left with the Cubs and 3 left with St. Louis - now go get some wins.

i think cecil should lose his job over this. he said something would happen and only 1/3 of it did. he obviously doesn't know his work.

And make sure to start Oswalt twice a series vs. St. L and Chitown.

The Astros were alive?!?! Why didn't I get the memo?

Explain to me again why you would trade a solid young outfielder for a 40 year old? I know they were planning on a outfield of Pence, Bourn, and Lee, but isn't Bourn really just an Alex Sanchez type?
