    But the most improbable thing that happened in the entire game (and perhaps the entire season) is that Paulino struck out the side in the 2nd inning and threw 8 pitches to each batter to do so and each on a 3-2 count.

    Today....

    Saw a guy wearing a Correa jersey in Rocky Mount, NC.

    Heard a guy in Fairfax, VA say, "isn't it crazy Houston 2 years ago was, like, the worst team, then they move to the AL and are the best team".

    The latter missed several facts, but all I really care is..... WE BALLIN !!!!!

    You sure you heard that right?

    Either way.... WE BALLIN !!!

    It's the best start since 2001. I suspect other teams have done better prior to the 2001 Mariners because the article does not say 2nd best ever. For example, the 1984 Tigers were 37-9 through May.

    It's just so satisfying to have a team to root for that is never out of a game. The 11 run inning earlier this week, followed by today's whipping is just so frickin' beautiful to watch! GO STROS!!!

    They were 11-17 during the ludicrous Monday game. That changes your averages in a hurry.
