    Given the expectations coming in, that Texans game may have been the worst I've ever watched. Wow.

    Cmon Astros, please pull your collective heads out of your ass and salvage a victory

    Wanna give me odds that the Stros can score at least 7?

    This looks to me like a Game 1 of the NLDS lineup today, and Keuchel on the hill.

    eta: ****, forgot Yuli. Nevermind.

    Don't worry, I still find myself checking to see if we gained ground on the Cardinals.

    Gattis' beard looks fuzzier.

    Speaking of...

    I trimmed the beard all nice and stuff for Easter...then I notice the Stros are kicking ass...and kicking ass...so I says "why don't we just ride this out?". Sometime around June I decided that it's going to stay until there is no more Astros baseball this year. I was very, very tempted in August when it was 106' and I'm working outside, but no, I have held firm.

    Mine is not nearly as perfectly coiffed as Keuchel's though, more of a long Gattis.

    So now you know.

    It's him or Maybin (same player) or Fisher. I like him or Maybin in CF. I really wish Marwin was a better LFer.

    Someone want to tell me how the A's have such a sh*t record. They look like the ones going to the playoffs. Not us.

    They have 4-5 promising >25 type position players and a bunch of mediocrity. Their pitching is bottom 4 in the AL in just about everything. They have a bunch of young guys learning on the job.

    And Billy Beane still has a job because someone wrote a book about him.

    That's what happens when your bullpen is a pile of feces Offense scores runs bullpen blows it offense presses thinking they need to score more and score none
