ESPN, sharing the Astros love:

Seventh, [the Cardinals are] just not a great team. We've granted them the NL Central crown since May because we're awestruck by Albert, and because the Astros got out of the blocks the way Jabba the Hut gets up out of a papasan chair. But take another look. This team is not going to win the World Series. This team is going to rely on Jason Marquis and So Taguchi. Aaron Miles is going to get serious time for this team. And unless they wise up and ask Adam Wainwright to close, this team will struggle mightily to hold even the most comfortable of late-inning leads.


Contrast that to Houston, where Roger Clemens and Roy Oswalt start twice in every seven-game series. And where young Luke Scott is looking like old Roy Hobbs. And where Lance Berkman continues to do a very, very credible Albert Pujols impression again this year. As a nonpartisan fan, which club looks more compelling? Which club looks more like one you'd actually want to see play in a postseason series? Careful, the questions get harder after this. Next, I ask you your name and the color of the sky.

Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

What . . . is your name?

What . . . is your quest?

What . . . is your favorite color?

--------------------

OH SO CLOSE!

9 in a row

3 games left

.5 game deficit

ONE CHANCE

I upgraded my satellite channels package & I ended up getting Fox Sports HOUSTON! ... IN DALLAS! FUCKING A!

Before I did that, I was watching the MLB Gameday app off the web.

Have you ever seen a grown man screaming at a computer monitor?

Wait, ya'll play poker online right?

LOL! This is even funnier. They edited it a day later just to make it NOT look like a joke:

My favorite quote from that article:


"There are winners every season. There are heroes every year. But only once in a blue moon does a team and a city have a chance to do something truly special. St. Louis and the Cardinals have that chance right now. They've put themselves in a position to lose, gloriously, spectacularly.

They must tank.

Only a bunch of losers would win now."
