    Wow, coming from last place in the beginning of the year and now a game out from 3rd. Hope we can keep it up.

    And only 7 games out of the wild card.

    If we can win 2 out of 3 the rest of the year, we got a shot.

    Just win every 4 out of 5 series the rest of the way, it is possible.

    The entire NL collapsed towards the end of interleague. The Astros at 6-4 in their last 10 are tied with the best "streak" in the NL. Easy to see how they've climbed back into this. Until they reach .500 they are still a bad team, though.

    all the Astros have to do is play the rest of the schedule at home against the NL West, and they could take the division...

    actually, Stevie told me they'd be fine as long as they wore their retro uni's the rest of the way.

    They're also 16-9 (.640) over the last month (30 days).

    At that pace, they'll finish with 90 wins.

    Playing .640 ball over 25 games is not crappy.

    I dont think we're gonna get the WC, but my annual Cubs vs. Astros bet isnt completely hopeless. Last year I got a Clemens jersey....I dont want to buy my buddy a Lee jersey.

    You know, the Cubs always choke. I BELIEVE.

    EDIT: My bad, we would still have to catch Philly and Atlanta.

    In the last month, the Astros have dominated over terrible teams, and lost to good ones.

    That is good, but nothing special. Mostly just "doing what has to be done."

    OK. That still doesn't make them crappy over that stretch.
