quote:If you and Trevis had an IQ, you would realize that just because the Rangers may become the 5th team to come from behind by 8 games on August 1, doesn't translate to the Astros having the 5th biggest choke job in the world. The Astros only had a 3 game lead on August 1st regardless of who was in 2nd place.

Saw on ESPN.com that the Rangers are trying to become only the 5th team in the last 40 years to win a division title after being at least 8 GB on August 1st.
Other way of saying it, Houston is this close to having one of the worst 5 choke jobs in the last 40 years.
It's in their nature.

Hey, guess what, the Astros were only the second team to ever be 15 games under .500 and make it to the World Series. That doesn't mean the St. Louis Cardinals had the 2nd biggest choke job ever because 4 other teams were between them.
quote:I agree, not the 5th biggest choke job...more like the 6th. To have the Rangers right on the edge of taking the division lead after being 8 games back on August 1st, regardless of who was in 2nd, is very nearly a choke job. But until it happens, not a choke.quote:

quote:As a Ranger's fan, completely agree, we can recognize a choke job. And we recognize a choke job unfolding in the AL West!
Hahahahaha!!!!!
Ranger fans talking sheet about epic choke jobs. Now that's fckin funny.
If there's any fanbase in the history of sports that shouldn't use choke jobs as smack talk it's that sad bunch.

Fortunately for the Astros, there is a lot of ball yet to be played. Unfortunately for the Astros, their level of play has been very Houston-like.

You're right it has been Houston-like....Better than Dallas or Arlington or wherever the hell you idiots claim.
quote:I agree, I almost feel bad for the Astros, too. But they're used to missing the playoffs, so no worries.
Where did all this confidence come from? It's seems so misplaced. I almost for bad for the little guys. It's going to hurt when they miss the playoffs.
