Brandon Lyon is the God Damn Devil!!!!! I can only imagine if Hunter Pence was charged with an error. Demote this loser to A ball!!!!

Yes, he is on a bad streak, sir. However, for you to call him the devil is uncalled for. People who know FAR more than you do, have their reasons that he is one of the only 750 guys in the world on a major league roster right now.

Sit back and watch and enjoy the "game" of baseball. Don't just critique what is going on with one player who is going through a rough time.

You do know I was half kidding. I always used the "god damn devil" line because it is one of the funniest lines from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But I stand by my statement that Brandon Lyon should be demoted. The guy is not a closer. But we have no other options. I hope one of our young guns in A ball can step up in next couple of years. if not, we will continue to give away games. Especially one hitters. But can you imagine if Pence was charged with an error. The guy would have both gave up the no no and lost the game WITHOUT RECORDING A SINGLE OUT!!! Wait.... just found out he was hurt. Well he wasnt hurt for the first 3 blown saves.

No, I guess that I did not know that you were joking. And, I'm not familiar with Forgetting Sarah Marshall (a movie I presume?)

No, Brandon is not a closer but apparently he's the closest guy on the Astros at this time.
