SETXsports/Texan Live will broadcast the Huffman at Lumberton game. SETXsports will broadcast Bridge City at Vidor game.

If West Brook handles business this week, it's possible they could land in the rankings. Kind of hoping they get there before Oct. 17 to give us a state ranked match up in PA. I am definitely making that game either way.

I got Brook, 28-14

Of course they all have injuries just not on this scale. That's why it set an all time MLB record. Keep up or is that too complicated for your intellect? They missed the playoffs due to a tiebreaker with all those injuries. A simpleton could see that had an effect on their season. Nobody here thinks they made the playoffs. But only a "less than average" intellect thinks the injuries didn't have an impact on their season.

Setting the all time MLB record for IL transactions in a season is as "real" as it gets. Anyone dismissing that FACT as to why the season didn't go as well has a "less than average" intellect. Even the "average" fan can see the "realism" in that.

I'll be on the sidelines for this one. Will hold my thoughts.

Cleveland and Detroit finished at 87-75 just like Houston. Only Toronto (East Div. champ) Seattle (West Div. champ), Yankees and Red Sox had better records. Cleveland and Detroit had the tiebreakers over Houston. But finished with the same record. You know, all about wins/losses.

I got it this way: 1. WO-S 2. Silsbee 3. HF 4. Jasper/Shepherd (leaning towards Shepherd)

Houston finishes the season with a win and an 87-75 record. That's 12 games above .500 which by my calculations is "above average". In the American League (15 teams), only 4 teams finished with a better overall win/loss record. That puts the Astros in the top 1/3 of the league, not "middle of the pack". In the MLB (30 teams), 9 teams had better overall win/loss records. Houston is in top 1/3 of all of baseball in win/loss record for the season. Not "middle of the pack". All this while having the worst season for injuries of any baseball team in MLB history, Pretty proud of that effort considering those circumstances. Proud to be an Astro Fan!!! (and not a pessimistic sports fan).

I highly doubt the Angels are throwing any quality pitchers the last couple of games.

I'm still sticking with my preseason pick of WO-S.

What other guy?
