    Season-high 19 games above .500

    Astros franchise first sweep @ BOS

    Astros offset the disappointing split with Boston at MMP

    Brantley hit professionally



    Rangers down 3-0, 3rd inning. Knock on wood

    Sweep! First sweep at Fenway

    5 game win streak!

    likely have put the Bosox away from playoff contention

    Finally, much harder than it should have been. Valdez started throwing beachballs and our hitters went on early vacation.

    After the Seattle debacle, Astros 7-3 with 2 of the 3 losses games given away.

    I hope they still play hard to end the year, they still have series against Arlington, Canada, Baltimore, Tampa, and the yankees.

    Y'all need more patience. This is major league baseball.

    Scoring 7 runs in a game is above average. Holding a team to 1 hit with minimum at bats is above average for 5 innings.

    Of course that was likely to level out over course of the game.

    This team is not going to "coast" to a title like last year's team. That was a historical aberation.
