We can clinch a spot in Manfred’s Special Olympics today with a W and Angels loss if my math is correct. Weeeee

Those fricksticks have the tiebreaker thanks to that 4-game sweep a few weeks ago.

I remember when I predicted a .500 season, with best case being 32 wins. That prediction was not viewed in a positive light around here.
Now, I think we should be extremely happy with 30 wins and a quick blow out in the first series. Personally, I’d be ok if they didn’t make the playoffs, but I want to see Springer have a few more games in an Astros uniform.
I know there is no way in hell it could happen, but if they hoisted the WS trophy in Arlington’s new stadium, I could endure another 5 years of 100 loss seasons with a perpetual smile on my face.

Imagine if before the season you would have known we would have no Osuna, Verlander, Alverez, and would have had 9-10 rookies in the bullpen. Plus Bregman, Altuve, Brantley, etc all miss time.
Prob would have predicted 21-39.

No. My prediction would've been the same.
Dusty fricking Baker + constant negative press in the off season + predicted down years for Altuve, Bregman, and Alvarez + No G. Cole + only 60 games = .500 ball.
You'd have to be willfully blind to think the off season drama wasn't going to have negative implication on Altuve, Bregman, Correa, et. al.
As for injuries -- Bregman, Altuve, Brantley, Springer all missing time is really nothing new. But it is absolutely amplified in a 60 games season.
Does anyone really think the Marlins are an 82-85 win season in a true season?
Are the Nats really a 68 win team?
Are the White Sox a 100+ win team?
No, of course not (at least not yet). But a 60 game season means streaks are amplified, and normal baseball expectations can not be counted on.
This whole exercise was a fricking joke.
Still happy to be watching baseball. No matter how un-baseball it really is.

At least we won’t have to worry about bird attacks

I'd like our chances MUCH better against Randy Johnson than the actual starting pitcher. The Astros notoriously suck against shitty starters.
