    What about RALL-Y HOUSE? RALL-Y HOUSE? :). I would want those people to be representative of my views on just about everything.

    The Astro's remaining schedule is no cakewalk. One month to go. If they come out on top at the end of September, they will be ready for the playoffs. I can't recall seeing so many different lineups from day to day in past seasons. Is that impression correct?

    90 wins will get the divison. 15-10 the rest of the way.

    8-6 is good, but not a world-beating stretch.

    Seattle went 5-7 over that same time period, wasting their only real chance they had to make up ground for the rest of the year. This will be year 3 of 4 of the Julio Rodriguez era that will see them miss the playoffs altogether, especially pathetic when you factor in playoff expansion and unthinkable in October 2022.

    Mariners fans now are looking at the Wild Card standings, where they're currently tied with the Tigers (LOL) in the loss column, and 5 games back of the Royals.

    Pity for the less fortunate is a luxury for those on top.

    Enjoy it.

    Sure but we were playing tough teams series after series. I'm pleased we did that with all things considered.

    Oh no, going into that stretch I knew .500 would be an accomplishment. I'm more so pointing and laughing at Seattle for failing to get within 3 games of the division even after the initial 4-6 start.

    Astros target is to be 1 game behind Cleveland headed into that last weekend series of the season.

    Astros would only need to take 2 of 3 to get the bye as we would hold the tie breaker.

    Guardians schedule
    Royals
    Dodgers
    White Sox
    Rays (4)
    Twins (4)
    Cardinals
    Reds (2)
    Astros

    Starting Friday they are subjected to 17 straight games without a break.

    We are perfectly fine with a Royals sweep, as the Astros hold the tie breaker there.

    Just Angel references. I’ll have corresponding content when the M’s lose to the A’s this week.

    It was a good day

    -Yordan breaks his HR dry spell at Minute Maid with 2 and almost 3 HRs
    -Yuli gets an RBI in his first game with his new team
    -Complete the sweep of the Royals and move .5 ahead of them in the standings
    -Another heartbreaking loss for the Mariners

    I don’t understand many of the things you say. You didn’t sound like it was a joke you said not everyone can afford to pay for MLB package and you lived out of market. It’s all good, I like court jesters.
