What is more embarrassing? Being the worst team in MLB history to win a division... Or being one of the other teams in the same division?

Ok you booger eating, Cowboys loving Metrosexuals. It's time to get to work.

We each have games to lose to finish this off tied at 80-82. Let's officially finish the year tied and 2 games under, and show the rest of baseball that you can be ****ty and a champ at the same time.

It takes both of us working together. We can do this. Like what else do you have to accomplish today? Cry over Aggie football? Yell at the TV when the Arlington Cowboys lose? Come on. Get out of Mom's basement, put some pants on and root for mediocrity!

How crazy is it that just 3 years ago we were battling at 90 wins and game 7 of the ALCS… to now praying to finish 81-81

Both front offices have a lot of questions to answer goi no forward

Horrible baseball by both teams for months on end. Either way it will be over soon for both squads. Maybe just a few days longer for one over the other.

AL west race reminds me of the old big 12 north when a 7-5 Colorado team would win it

Daikin Park may join Globe Life Field before the end of the week but it is stuff like this in which this thread is for!


Also, now the Astros have won more AL West Titles (8) since being moved to the division in 2013 than the Rangers (7) since moving to the West with the move from DC to Arlington in 1972.

You just can't rely on having career best seasons from your entire roster.

If you are gonna be a dwarf, may as well be the tallest dwarf.

Enjoy your Monday morning tee times while the champs rub down their gloves and play when wins count for real.

Seriously though, there were 2 very flawed teams playing in a Division of cripples.

What a futile season that was. Houston was the tallest midget. Good luck against CWS.

Not really.

I actually think Houston has a decent chance to get to the ALCS based on how they've played against CWS & Cleveland this year. those two teams are beatable. I don't see anyone getting past Tampa in the AL though

Tampa has a history of not winning when it counts so I don't think they're the team to beat in the AL. I think it'll be New York

I agree. The Yankees-Dodgers WS is always the MLB dream. They'll get every call.

Are you not entertained? Another game of Joe Espada should lighten the mood a bit.

I have an idea. How about we trade managers next time there is a baseball season?

We get Skip and you get Joe. We already gave you Cintron so it would be getting the team back together.

I gotta say, I side with the fans on this one. I'd have booed too. The lack of urgency shown by teams that no-show in playoff games is maddening to fans who have shelled out a ****load of money and taken time off from work to attend the game. Sousa is the last guy that should be demanding fan support and Christian Walker has unperformed since signing with Houston. It's not all about past success, fans get that.

Yep. Also I love how he brought up Chicago as if those fans aren't notoriously worse about booing their own.

I'd love to see him play for Philly, Chicago, Boston or NYY and pitch like he has. He'd think those Houston boos were nice
