    That division is going to be an exciting one. All the top teams have several series left against one another. Mariners have been tanking lately. It is all going to come down to who can finish. Athletics have been on an amazing run. It will be interesting to see if they finally hit a wall.

    Jose altuve starting rehab assignment tomorrow. Correa and springer getting rhythm back hopefully, and McCann returning soon. Hopefully health will put the lineup back to strength. Hard to believe As can be this good and stros can be this bad overnight.

    Injuries have killed them. McCullers won't be back until September at the earliest. Correa has only been back for a week, and Springer just came back Friday. Altuve, McCann, and Devinski are all doing rehab assignments in Fresno. The band will be back together soon, and get the wrinkles out. I still think they take the division. Oakland can't stay hot forever.

    Walling was one helluva pinch hitter. Loved his porno mustache.

    very accurate assessment.....

    injuries have disrupted what should have been a juggernaut year.....

    I didn't think it was going to be necessary this year, but we may have to summon H-town's own version of glenn close in The Natural.....:

    astros pretty much have a "t.v. off" bullpen, as when the game gets turned over to the pen, I turn the shit off..... usually not a pretty sight

    Don't think it's out of the question that Altuve plays Tuesday. If he does, do you still post this nonsense?
