    And the ballpark in Milwaukee when they play the cubs is probably 75% blue. Cubs fans are everywhere. It has nothing to do with the Astros and it's nothing new.

    Has anyone else noticed that the "A's" are on fire and closing on the Astro's division lead?

    They've won 10 in a row while we've gone 8-4, and they picked up 3 games in the standings, yes.

    *Cole Hamels got shelled (4IP, 7H/6ER, 0K:4BB), which we can all stand back and appreciate. That's two straight starts in which Hamels didn't get a 13th out against the Astros, and you just hate to see it. You have to go back all the way to May 25, 2008 to find the last start that Hole Camels didn't record a strikeout. Who was the opponent? It was the Houston MF Astros. It's the 3rd time he didn't strike *anyone* out in a start in his career.

    A's are 5-10 against teams over .500, Astros are 16-10.

    Only 6.5 games up despite all the injuries. I'm super concerned.

    Lets see where the standings are after we visit Oakland this weekend.

    We win the division by at least 10 but most likely 15 or more.

    Considering the Astros are going to crush the A's to below 0.500, that's probably more like 13 instead of 27.

    Cards and Pirates both at .500 so it could be more, too.

    I never know what to think about this. I think the Astros can take care of business. The Coles, Verlanders, and Brantleys of the world are not going to play down to their competition. If it was the Rockets with that sort of percentage against sub-.500 teams, I'd be terrified.
