    No, Rangers own us. Oakland is just the annoying team that makes you grind games out.

    Yep. They're still 6-4 against them this year. They did have that one 12-2 laugher in June. Other than that, its been a lot of close games.

    Perhaps.

    Really annoying that they're pushing the DH further and further down the lineup. Tonight, DH batting 8th... most bad AL teams have better options than the Astros right now.

    Trout just put the Angels up 4 with a homer. Still sucks to not gain ground possibly.

    LOL. I just turned gamecast on in that game and right when I did, a ball with a blue streak left the yard. :p

    Trout is such a beast. Thanks for keeping us only 4.5 games behind (no jinx)

    The good news is that the next two day pitchers for the A's aren't as good as graveman so hopefully the Astros will get more offense

    Yeah Stros can't play that "hope the rangers lose" game cause then they might miss the playoffs

    Gurriel is 3-4 weeks away. Bregman is probably up in a few days.

    I mean, he could DH I suppose. I wouldn't take his bat out of the lineup tho.

    Whether they win or lose, its pretty much a given that the division will be decided based on the head-to-head.

    To be in that position, compared to where they were 6 weeks ago, is a huge feat.

    Exactly. Need to pounce on teams like the As. They have not been sharp as a team against them. Rally time hopefully!
