The easy thing about Power Rankings this week? Just scroll down to the bottom to find the Astros:
FanHouse:
Astros - 30th
"After sweeping the Pirates to get to 8-10 eight days ago, the Astros ceased to play the Pirates and have now dropped six straight to the Reds and Braves. In those six losses, they only cracked the two-run barrier once. Never base an entire evaluation of a team on one series against the Pirates."
TSN Canada:
Astros - 29th
"Not good when the corner outfielders -- Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence -- have combined for a .236 on-base percentage."
The Sporting News:
Astros - 30th
The ever-streaky Astros' six-game skid has them back at the bottom.
ESPN:
Astros - 29th
During their current six-game losing streak, the Astros are averaging two runs per game against teams that have ERAs of 5.42 (Reds) and 4.10 (Braves).
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
