Looks like Shohei is breaking out of his Post-All Star Game slump

Ha ha,  they are about to pass the Rangers.   

Not today. Rangers got swept.

Almost there...

Just as I predicted less than a week after the All Star Break...the NATIONALS were going to be big 'Sellers'.

It wasn't that their record for JULY is 7-17, it's how they lost those games.  24-8 Blowout!

Four months into the season and you're still a MINUS 26 in runs scored differential??

The Dodgers, Giants are PLUS 148 and PLUS 118 respectively.  The ASTROS are PLUS 150.

It's fitting that both Max Scherzer and Trea Turner are going to finish this season as Dodgers.  Hope they win it all!

Also, the RED SOX took Schwarber from us for their pennant run.

'Closer' ...and I use that word loosely... Brad Hand was traded to the Blue Jays.

Fellow Astros fans.... 

Sad to report J.R died yesterday at age 71.  Sad... an icon of my childhood baseball being has passed.

Sad day indeed.

I heard that they asked a former major leaguer what he though about when he had to face J.R, in the batter's box.

"My Family", was his reply.

I'm sad that I hadn't discovered baseball back in those days. My cousin was a fan from their Colt 45 days, and I knew nothing about it. She lives in North Texas now and can educate me about those Astros of old. Makes me wish I'd been following baseball all along.

One of the old-timers being inducted into the Astros Hall of Fame was in the booth with TK and Blummer and was saying that JR refused to get vaccinated. I guess that was a risk he was willing to take. Gone too soon.

I'm not that familiar with NL players, but he's looking pretty formidable. Don't get mad, but I'm rooting for the Braves. My BFF lives in Woodstock, GA, and would love to see her home team in the WS. Atlanta could use a pick-me-up after the way the MLB treated them earlier this year. In a perfect world, the WS would end up being a contest between my 'Stros and the Braves, with the 'Stros ultimately prevailing in a 7-game battle.

Probably so ... until which time we may have to butt heads should our beloved teams go head to head.  :yowsa:

BTW, will you start wearing your cute Braves cap again when October baseball rolls around? Go Braves!

Y'all, they're going to screw up the baseball season. I have that "waiting for the other shoe to drop" feeling that we're going to get mask mandates slapped on us and the 2021 season will be cut short or that people won't be allowed to attend the games. Those filthy authoritarians are itching to reign in the liberty of the American people.

I got the first part right. But it's vaccine passports they're using rather than mask mandates. There are no words to express how much I detest leftism.

All in fun, of course.   :beer:

Yes, if we actually pull off a post-season run this year, I will definitely dig out my Braves cap avatar!

Astros fans, am I the only one disappointed with Graveman? Surely we needed some depth in our bullpen, but I expected more from him. I'm not happy with that trade.

The Astros are in contention?  Funny, I used to be their ultimate fan 1965-2019.

Then :1. They cheated to win a WS, 2 (and worse) They hired Crusty Baker.

A week or so ago, I went to my first Pirates game in at least 8 years. Since we all expected the Buccos to lose - they are, after all, the Pirates -  imagine our surprise and delight when they actually played well and beat the Nats. It was a reminder of why I enjoyed attending MLB games back in the day, whether I lived in Pittsburgh or St. Louis (or traveled to Chicago for the late season series between the Cards and Cubs). The only bad part was that the game took an hour longer than necessary.
