    Dude, go for a nice run or something or go over to tellit's house and kick his ass. Then drink a beer and relax, get some sleep and come back tomorrow. You know you will.

    Tigers getting absolutely squeezed by this HP ump. Strike three to Sano called a ball (he walked) and then a clear strike two to Plouffe called a ball.

    That guy must run a marathon because he calls all forum members losers, so i am in a good company.

    I will not reply and insult to the guy, he is just in my ignore list.

    Well, so far Texas is 10 and 5, so yes.
    Twins are 8 and 7, they have not played as good, but they were doing very good until last 2 games vs Tigers, 2 games they should had won and be as the Rangers, 10 and 5, so yes, both are playing very good baseball, especially the Rangers.

    Remember, these are not the same teams as before.

    So far the team has done more or less as expected, i was really wrong about Harris, i thought he was going to be good this month and that we could count on him, I WAS WRONG.

    Like i said before, for the Astros to go to the playoffs, other teams must play bad baseball as we are just not winning games nor series. We end the season with 6 games on the road, and i would expect to finish with 2 wins and 4 loses.

    Lets say we win tonight, and that is not going to be easy nor expected, but lets say it happens, and we win the 3 series at home, we end up with this record:

    That would be 9 and 7 record for us, more or less an average record, and we can do that, this team has been average for a long time, so we should be able to play up to that record for the remaining 16 games.

    86 and 76

    That is a number that i've been giving a lot lately. The question is, will the Twins finish with better record than that? They would have to play 11 and 6 for the rest of the year. They have very tough games vs Angels and Indians.

    This team will continue to lose in September unless it decides to play small ball and use its speed to its advantage. Sitting back and hoping for home runs loses you a lot of one-run games.

    Well, looks like a 4 and 11 in september

    Is going to be difficult to get to 86 victories, we need to go 9 and 6 for the rest of the games. Right now, with 6 games to be played on the road, difficult task for the Astros.

    Rangers will finish 7-9. Astros will finish 13-2. You can book it.

    Houston 90-72
    Texas 86-76.

    I think we go 8 and 7
    Dont think Rangers will play that bad to lose the division.

    Now, the question is, will Twins and Angels do better?

    I said a long time ago we needed teams to play bad because we are not winning many games, well, we need the twins to lose, and lose a lot.

    Remember September in 2013 when the Astros lost their last 15 games to finish the season? This choke job feels a lot like that, only that team wast in last place, not first.
