    I don't hate on players unless they really, really deserve it. With the Astros where they are at right now, quite honestly I'm still stunned and I just can't hate on anybody- not Carter, nobody.

    Well how about that.

    Really impressed with the starting pitching by the Astros as of late minus Obie.

    Keuchel the best, most dominant Astro pitcher since Clemons and Oswalt. Should be current front runner for Cy Young.

    Did they mention the grown man stealing the foul ball from the kid in the ninth inning? I proudly booed from the deck directly behind him.

    Tomorrow's game is the halfway mark, Even if they lose, they'll have the best record in the AL at the halfway mark. And the Rockets made it to the WCF for the first time since 1997. WTF is up with 2015 and Houston? What's next, Texans make the AFC championship game???

    I'm not a fan of Obie (really at all), but in his defense, since he came back from injury in early June, he had four fairly good starts and two piss-poor starts. About 10 days ago, I thought he was looking much better than McHugh. I don't think he's been written off yet, and if Luhnow decides to institute innings limits on McCullers and VV, we're probably going to need Obie.

    Stros are now 1 game behind KC for best AL record.
    But, our run difference is +58 vs their +49
    TOR is beasting like a mofo with +85

    Maaan.... H-Town ballin

    Win or lose tomorrow and the Royals will still have a higher winning percentage.

    As long as our run difference beast theirs while only being slightly behind their winning percentage, Stros will be considered the better team. And rightfully so.

    Oh hell. I'll let someone else handle this. Castor? Bobrek? Bueller?

    When dude hit a single tonight in the 11th to make it "2 Cards on, 2 outs"... plenty cheered.

    I yelled a loud "boooo", and 8 people turned around and looked at me crazy.


    So fun :)... even better when STL lost 2 minutes later.

    Be careful in the parking lot ;)

    If Onley, Kurkjian, or analytics handle it, you'll wish you never said anything

    Nothing personal, just saying
