    Yea, that's it

    It's not the bullpen failing

    It's not the fact that we have been terrible on the road for 4 months

    It's this thread

    Yea, that's it

    So sad. Can't even get a win to knock off a number.

    Your cronies think your non-elitist Astro mockery is shameful.

    Only if the 11 comprises 11 Astros victories. The Astros could win 8 and finish 88-74 while the Rangers could lose 3 and still finish 90-72. The 8+3 satisfies the magic number of 11, but you can see how they would still not win the division.

    He said playoff spot, not division title. Not that I've double checked his math to see if he's right...
