this season is rough for the astros. but the silver lining is that it’s been rough for a lot of teams. Yankees have lost 7 of 9. Mets are on their own 8 game losing streak. A’s and Ranger lead the division and are only 1 game above .500. the top record in the AL is the Rays at 11-7. Just 6 games ago they had one of the worst, but got themselves a 6 game win streak. So the bad news is, the Astros have sucked. The good news is, so has everybody else.
RIP GA. I loved having him on my fantasy teams.
