astros have quietly turned into a decent good-pitching light-hitting team since about mid-june

p sure i voted the 70+ wins option in that early season poll but was too scared 2 admit it at the time

well they're outplaying their pythag by 8 games in addition to the hitters overperforming in high leverage situations. they're basically having the best possible season you can get out of a .669 OPS offense

pitching is fine though

Knocking Halladay out in 6 innings is pretty wow...
Just checked and that equals his shortest performance of 2010.

hahaha, I just bet big on the Astros +1.5 vs. the Diamondbacks (meaning to win I need them to either win the game or lose by one)
8th inning, Astros lead 5-19th inning, Astros lead 5-2, feeling like I can't lose, since if the D'Backs do walk-off it would likely be 6-5
D'Backs tie it up in the 9th, then win on a 3-run HR in the 10th
serves me right for betting on the fuckin Astros

i'd be breaking things at that point i think
I've lost way more than that on a missed extra point in a college game - bet over 78.5 (IIRC) and they wound up at 78 after Nevada botched the XP. So I'm kind of used to the crushing loss in sportsbetting. I went to bed after the top of the 9th figuring it was locked up and had to do a double take when I saw my account balance go down. I'm actually pretty glad that I didn't watch it.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Astros are “leaning heavily” toward new uniforms to accompany the club’s move to the American League in 2013, owner Jim Crane said Sunday.
I wonder if they're leaning towards garbage bags or just wearing paper bags with eye holes cut out of them instead of caps
