    For those looking at the WC race:

    66-52 ----- Astros (Division leader)
    66-53 0.5 Mariners WC1
    65-54 1.5 Red Sox WC2
    62-56 4.0 Yankees WC3
    61-56 4.5 Guardians OUT
    60-59 6.5 Rangers OUT

    Absolutely fantastic day for us: Red Sox, Yankees, Guardians, Rangers all suffer a loss. Rangers are really fading.

    You really need to get over yourself.

    Seriously.

    What do you think fans are going to do on a message board, sing cumbaya?

    Sheesh.

    That's a proper run, though

    Did their local paper post a Tombstone?

    Robinson. Duncan. Leonard. Ginobili. Parker.

    None were bought.

    eta: I'm supposed to say I was agreeing with you if that wasn't clear.

    Javier vs Crotchet tomorrow.

    So with the day off Thursday are we foregoing a 6 man rotation?

    Who is the odd man out, the first to go from our current rotation? Gordon? Seems like it.

    What the hell, you point blank asked what other dynasties were NOT BOUGHT.

    He offered up the Spurs.

    Then you make a response as if you're pushing back on his answer.

    Bizarre.

    Damn that's scorching

    I looked up the best 45-50 game record stretch in MLB history to see how it compares (quite good) What I did see was, the best 50 game stretch was from the..
    2017 Dodgers :):D

    I tried to see myself, it's impossible to pin down something as specific as 43 games.

    Best record in a 60 game span that I saw was 48-12. That's incredible. That was the Cleveland team from 2017 that won 22 straight. Also, the A's and Mariners both from 2001 went a stretch with a 48-12 record. Our best 60 game stretch was 2019 with a 43-17 mark.

    I heard the 2017 Dodgers were incredible. They went on to win the World Series I believe, oh wait.......

    Not at all, not even close, unless like you you're looking for an internet fight at every opportunity.

    Would you please just shut the everliving f**k up when it comes to me? You bore me, yet post too much in here to put you on the ignore list.

    You are so, so ****ing angry-weird. You didn't used to be like this. I wonder what happened.

    2004 Astros were 57-60 on August 15 (Richard Justice front page Tombstone), and finished 35-10

    2017 Indians went 41-8 (25-4 in Sept) to close out the season.

    Those are the 2 off the top of my head

    2019 Stros went 50-22 in the 2nd half. One of the best 2 or 3 teams I've seen.

    McCullers still in witness protection I'm assuming?

    And I’m pretty sure that same Dodgers team lost 16 out of 17 (or close to something like that) that very same year…

    Baseball!

    Wasn’t there something like that when they started 15-30 once?
