    What is the national reputation of Seattle? Phoenix? New Orleans?

    Houston doesn't have the reputation of NY with the Yankees or Los Angeles with the Lakers.

    There really isn't a national reputation of Houston from a sports perspective.

    I agree Houston is mostly irrelevant, but there is an angle of choking. If Altuve loses the title, be prepared for Buffalo highlights.

    Bills by the way have not been to the playoffs since the Miracle. A play that set in motion and cemented a new fate.

    When have there ever been highlights of any sort regarding a batting title?

    Historic NFL Playoff Choke > random AL batting title

    As I mentioned earlier in the month, the record for most hits by an AL second baseman in the live-ball era just happens to be 227, by Charlie Gehringer in 1936.

    He could tie or break this record.

    Altuve has 3 hits as a DH. It appears Gehringer played all 154 games as a second baseman.

    Jordan retired;)
    Awesome comeback regardless and great times.

    Bills made the playoffs the following season plus 4x after that.

    Highlights of the title wouldn't be necessary. The choke-job would be the story.


    Hopefully it's all a mute point. GO ALTUVE!!!!!!

    Don't ever bring that up even if joking, he was referring to the music city miracle, nobody would care, and it's moot point.

    Oh okay. Once the Oilers left, they were instantly dead to me. The fact they finally made the SB after leaving is added Houston embarrassment IMO. Was definitely cheering against them in the SB.

    Interesting that they pinch hit for Martinez in the 8th.

    If he sits, Martinez needs to go 3-3 or 4-5 to beat him.
