Classic Frambler today including the the Mr. Hyde second inning. I thought for sure with the Astros wasting early opportunities to take the lead that was going to spin out of control into another L.

12 games remaining.
I think a 7-5 finish wins the division as long as the rangers and mariners beat each other up. I'd love for that series to go 4-3

Game 3 in Kansas City is this afternoon. First pitch at 1:10pm (Central)#Astros #GLF #Ready2Reign
Doyers up 4-1 on the Ms
I believe the M# for the playoffs in general would be 9 since Toronto won, correct?
pending the result of the Dodgers-Mariners game...
I think 7 wins guarantees a playoff spot
(because of the 7 games remaining between the Rangers and Mariners)

Shay Whitcomb now leads Minor League Baseball in home runs with 35. Heβs two shy of tying George Springerβs Astros minor-league record from 2013.pic.twitter.com/mKxm8g6cJ6

As for the series with the O's, I know they are still in a battle for the AL East but maybe they'll have a little bit of a celebration hangover in clinching a postseason spot. It would be nice that the final homestand of the season be a winning one.
Somehow, some way, the Astros came out of this weekend a game up.

It's kind of amazing that the AL West could go 1-14 this weekend...but as long as we got the 1, then that's finding the ultimate silver lining in what has been a **** week.
You know who's got to really be mad right now are Angels fans.
This was the year the division was up for grabs⦠they don't trade Ohtani and they are eliminated mid September. Rough times

Big sigh of relief today
I think the key for us winning is me not watching the game. I'll continue to do better.
Now, do we blow out the Orioles or get swept by them?

a long December
and there's reason to believe
that maybe this one
will be better than the last
Dodgers up 5-1 in bottom of the 7th...it pains me to say it but GO DODGERS!!!

Not really a win. Should have all but locked up the West. Texas & Seattle have to play each other 7 more times. One team is guaranteed at least 4 more wins because as bad as they have looked the last couple of weeks, they can't both lose.
Dodgers 6-1 bottom of the 9th.
Seahags lose!!!
We now have a 1.5 and 2 game cushion. Need to keep the pedal down.
with 12 games to go for the Astros (84-66):
66 - Astros
67 - Rangers
67 - Blue Jays
68 - Mariners
the 'stros need to start playing better, but 7-5 down the stretch will get them in the playoffs
probably 6-6 as well -- as long as 1 of the 6 wins is in Seattle

It is going to be interesting to see how the team reacts and responds. I take nothing for granted with this outfit. Not this year.
Amazing what a whole 1.5 game lead feels like - huge temporary sigh of relief!
And remember how some of us - me included - said we kind of like being in a pennant chase and it was fun to scoreboard watch? Nope not anymore - give me a 10 game lead, clinch in mid August every time!!

Keep? Need to stomp on that b*tch.
Sweep the leg
Is the magic # 11? If we go 11-1 the Mariners can't catch us and we own tie breaker over the Rangers.
Yeah I'd much rather watch them drinking champagne right about now but we'll see how this team reacts. Get hot at the right time and a much needed bye in the first round and who knows what can happen.Big Al 1992 said:

Plus no more Donkey making out the lineup card!!!!
10 for the division title
7 for the wildcard
(I think)

Interesting stat:
We have 3 of the top 8 RBI leaders in the AL:
1. Tucker with 105
5. Bregman with 95
8. Yordan with 93

Weirdest year ever
If we go 10-2 and the Rangers win out they pass us (68 loss vs 67).

3 quarters at a Texans game really puts the Astros success in perspective today
I'd rather watch a WNBA dunk contest than what the Texans have done the last 3 years
They have some pieces, particularly the WR Nico Collins. Mostly it was just a chance to spend 5 hours with my brother.
