    Another masterful performance by the 'Stros. But wait, we are still guaranteed to make the playoffs like everyone says, amirite?

    It's amusing people say that. I get being positive because 2nd place teams make the playoffs but at some point you gotta win some ****ing games.

    It's ridiculous. Any time some clown argues that we basically have second place locked up, or that these individual games don't matter, I just sit around smfh. Dude, we still have to finish out the damn regular season! We suck ass on the road, even worse in Oakland, and then we have LAD after this. We need to wake up right now or we'll be in third place by the end of the week. WTF.

    Feels like August 2017 in here. Go away for Labor Day Weekend, and boy have things changed.

    I like the mystery around McCullers procedure. What the hell did he have done? Lol. Good to hear on Altuve though. It's still concerning for him because, like McCullers, the injury is in an area that's already been injured in the past.

    I’m guessing Epidural steroid injection for McCullers.

    Why does it seem that players back in the 60's and earlier were healthier than todays guys? Maybe smoking cigs and not having all these modern injection concoctions in you blood stream somehow helped? Or maybe it was some sense of privacy that helped their psyche that doesn't exist now with the media finding ways to dig and exploit your every move and tell the world some slanted and biased version of what your really about? I mean really? How many players have been injured in the history of the game by a masseuse?

    Whatever it was, its gone now.

    Because they moved in slow motion and popped amphetamines when they did have pain.

    Vast majority of know it alls on here say that. You've been the resident pessimist from day one. You were never stripped of that title.
