This is the first day this season that the Rangers haven't been in first place. I can't say I'm shocked they've been caught but a month ago I would've said the team overtaking them would be the Astros. 

The slapdickery of the last ten games really cost us.

Brantley is a more expensive Singleton. 

Dumb comparison. The only thing Singleton can hit better than Uncle Mike is a bong.

Brantley won't be even as good as Julks. he's old and rusty, we don't have the luxury to play this guy into shape.

Good morning first-place Astros.
Keep it going.
 
Slow and steady wins the race.

This has got to be a bit.

And by tied for 2nd meant third place on percentage points

Astros need to release the line up earlier so this thread has more to time to burn it to the ground and the players have more time to read the surly comments

Sorry guys.  My windows clock/calendar was off.  I thought it was Sept 16th.

So how much did we beat Alabama by?

Houston announced as host of the 2028 RNC.  How about no month-long road trip this time?  

I still don't understand why the team had to be gone a month for a 4-day convention.

They aren't using the Astros home to host the convention this time.

This post hits close to home.

My gf and I were talking about mlb schedules the other day and my wondering how sophisticated the computer program must be to do all of that. And then mentioned “and then you get random crap like the time in ‘92 when the Astros were on the road a month so the Dome could host the RNC.”

and then a day later saw the news about ‘28.

 

I still have a couple of these stuffed in storage somewhere:16A51DA0-26F6-40B2-82D5-BF57E0498131.thumb.jpeg.55813160ca4b35b996f569d8979dffd5.jpeg

and the answer to your question: it’s the same reason they have to shut down Zilker Park for a full month for a 6 day music festival. (No one knows)

And this “crazy sports schedule” talk has me thinking back to ‘86:

I still can’t believe we got home field advantage in the LCS because the Oilers had a scheduled home game the same day as what would have been one of our home games had the normal schedule applied.

What’s even crazier is that it also impacted the ALCS. HFA alternated every year back then (NL East & AL West one year, NL West and AL East the following, regardless of actual record). So 1986 should have been NL East and AL West champs got HFA. But to keep things in sync, because the Oiler game forced the NL West champ (Astros) to get HFA, they also swapped the AL so that the AL East champ (Red Sox who actually did have the better record compared to the Angels) got HFA.

Believe the rodeo always wraps up in early March. And up until recently, the MLB season didn’t start until late the first week of April, so don’t think there was any conflict in the Dome between Astros/Rodeo

No word on Brantley but Julks did a tour of the Monster so nothing likely imminent

Abreu ahead of Chas and Diaz is certainly something 

#22028

Dusty couldn't wait to sneak Abreu back up in the lineup so he can ground out with men on base

#22029

He can't help fucking up the batting order.  Oh we've scored 26 runs the last 2 games, this lineup needs tweaking.

You guys just watch when one of Maldonado's bunts goes off the monster for a single

It's all fun and games until the LF takes it off the monster and throws him out at 1st.

He better be busting his ass down the line.  Notice I didn't even pretend it would be a double.

Sale is lefty so you’ll take Diaz anywhere in the starting lineup and like it!

 

Sale at Fenway brings back good memories.  ¡Oye oye, Vamos!

Prior to this exact moment, I was absolutely convinced Houston sports were cursed.  This bomb was what made me start to believe that 2017 might be different...

As opposed to the stiffs we've tried to play into shape but then realized their shape is that of a vacuum cleaner.

Yep and the rodeo started earlier back then too. So highly doubtful.

As we were in G4 against KC in 2015.
