Bud selig will sweep in soon enough with a height limit. Then we are screwed

Day game today. I got to do a "live look-in" on MLB tv just in time for Chris Johnson to hit a 3-run jack into the crawford boxes.

3-0 Astros bottom 2nd. Wandy on the mound.

Where has this CJ been all season? If he was even hitting remotely like this we would have 3-4 more W's

So far, the 'Stros have managed to push their "only team under .500 with a positive run differential" status ever higher, currently standing at +14.

Reminds me a little of the Rocket's playoff run a few years ago when Yao went down and we lost to the Lakers. We weren't supposed to be winning, but the young guys didn't know that and just kept winning anyway.

I really like the way the team is playing, despite the losing record.

Yep, nice sweep of the Mets, who were fighting for first place in the NL east coming into the series.

Most encouraging sign...


A few years ago the Astros started decent, but it was fool's gold because they were giving up more runs than they scored.

These Astros are better than their record no doubt...


The Astros are 11-14.

Their expected record is 14-11 based on the fact that they have scored 118 runs while only allowing 104 on the season. This suggests that the Astros record should be over .500.



For an opposite end of the spectrum example, the Mets are 13-12, but they have scored 95 runs while allowing 125. Their record should be 9-16 based on this. The Mets are not as good as their record.

A lot of tough luck losses this year

And the astros sweep of the mets get a total of about 15 seconds on mlb network quickpitch at the very end of the show. A bunch of terrible teams got way more time than that.

Also the astros are now tied for 3rd place

Interesting minor league note. Jarred Cosart (Pence trade) got promoted to AAA today. We might see him in Houston sooner than I thought
