    Had a graphic on the Cub broadcast today:

    Started 7-9
    Went 20-3
    Then 2-11

    Cub fans don’t think they have a player that can hit 40 homers a season. They’re pissed at Bregmans performance so far.

    But they’re above .500 and the Astros are 8 games under. I’d take over .500 for Houston right now.

    .
    Astros are now closer to 3rd place ("the pack") than last place -- first time since early-April. Baby steps.

    Stros should officially vacate LAST place in RA in the West tonight unless Angels throw a shutout. Orioles and Nats are still bringing the rear league-wide.

    Cant believe the Astros got Kai Wei Teng for a minor league catcher. Great trade. Worst case we can repackage Teng for some prospects

    By the middle of June:

    Brown
    Arrighetti
    Lambert
    Teng
    Alexander

    Burrows and Junior exiled to the Gulags.

    Good enough to win the division? Probably.

    Why, this is the team we have available.

    Walker, Paredes and Pena are playing. The rest of the roster is just guys.
