The Astros are playing freaking awesome right now.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy how good they are.

aren't you the guy who hates baseball?!

I hate watching it. Reading about it is kinda fun. And living in Red Sox country, it's almost impossible not to know something about what's happening in the MLB.

Fortunately, I am not a Red Sox fan. Though I often pretend to be so as not to get beaten up.

Quite wise.  And true.

The Royals took the season series over the Astros last evening.

[mirth]

So pretty much the high water mark of the season for KC.

[mirth]

Though that entire division is kinda crappy.

Nah.  They are only 4.5 games back in a bad division.  I can see them actually making a run like they did in 2014 to take the division title.

Royals have been on a tear since the Houston series and hopefully get to .500 tonight.

[bayonetbrant]

Yeah, they beat up the Astros pretty good.  I think Houston's winning pct even dropped below .650 for a few days there.

[Bison]

Ugh...ugly game tonight.

The Charleston River Dogs got in some hot water for mocking Tim Tebow at a recent Sally League game.  While some of it was clearly over-the-line (like the John 3:16 eyeblack on the mascot), the fact that they labeled everyone else on the Fireflies as "Not Tim Tebow" when they came up to bat was pretty damned funny

The hitter thing is pretty funny.

What a comeback against the Jays in the 9th and the Royals are now .500!
