Houston kicking the shit out of Arizona...
Five game lead and about to get players back off injury. Pretty sure the Astro forums aren't full of people freaking out about the Mariners and what amazing moves they might do to get better.

I promise you we do not win this division. And we may not win it in my lifetime. You can't strive for mediocre and become great.

Yordan Alvarez is their best player and he’s been virtually out all year.

Any organization that ties for the greatest number of wins in baseball history, and then can’t get into the playoffs for over 20 years, is truly bizarre.

And they would’ve had 118 wins, were it not for squandering a 10 to 2 lead in the eighth inning, against the Indians.

A's have been tuning the Stros up all series, hopefully it continues today and tomorrow for a 4-game sweep. Meanwhile, it's high time the M's put the boot through the Angels ass and we get 3 of 4 to cut the West lead to 3.

Also, it was a 14-2 lead. MLB record for biggest lead ever blown.
