Especially since they're "more talented" than the Rangers.Just messin' with you. It really does suck for you guys.
I don't think they are more talented, but they are as talented. If you take out the Houston/Texas series from both teams records, Houston has a 1/2 game lead. We aren't that far apart. We just have their number this year for whatever reason.Especially since they're "more talented" than the Rangers.
That was in response to Giles remark early in the season stating something along the lines that the Astros are way more talented and shouldn't be losing to Texas. I think he said that after the first game of the season series.I don't think they are more talented, but they are as talented.

Yeah, I remember. And, I don't think he is right. But, I also don't think he is far off, either.That was in response to Giles remark early in the season stating something along the lines that the Astros are way more talented and shouldn't be losing to Texas.

The Astros get to take all the grief they get, though. You don't come out and say that after going through the same result last year. Just keep your mouth shout and revel in winning the off-season predictions.Yeah, I remember. And, I don't think he is right. But, I also don't think he is far off, either.
Oh, I agree.The Astros get to take all the grief they get, though. You don't come out and say that after going through the same result last year. Just keep your mouth shout and revel in winning the off-season predictions.
There is a person that Evan Grant has to put up with on Twitter with the name AstrosRant. This is exactly the way he acts on Twitter and I was waiting for some back and forth between the two last night. It never happened and it makes me wonder... That would be hilarious and I think I will pass that along.Speaking of, there's this guy. I think he was a bit frustrated.
**NSFW Language**
I think you should, and you should also post it here if Grant replies.There is a person that Evan Grant has to put up with on Twitter with the name AstrosRant.

I thought you were a BroSox fan.
Oh, Houston fan.
Losing to Dallas just makes their blood boil.
I am, but I've always made my stance very clear on how I like the Rangers for being my hometown team and how much I enjoy Dallas teams sticking it to Houston teams because their retarded fans lose their minds.....as clearly evidenced in that vid.I thought you were a BroSox fan.
Yeah, I actually see very few incidents like that out of Astros fans. Houstonians are guilty of caring a little too much about what DFW teams are up to, but I have always been told that Dallas fan is too busy reveling in a championship legacy to care about what Houston fan thinks. Good to know you care though.I am, but I've always made my stance very clear on how I like the Rangers for being my hometown team and how much I enjoy Dallas teams sticking it to Houston teams because their retarded fans lose their minds.....as clearly evidenced in that vid.
I don't know about the Cubs but I think they will be true contenders with a couple additions in the offseason.I just see this as a step back season. Tough to endure, but I will take being laughed at for having shit luck against a good rival over being laughed at for being the absolute dregs of the major leagues.
Which, as an aside, was only for a few years during a fast rebuild, despite the popular conception of Houston as a perennially awful club.
This is easy to handle by comparison, so feh.
I'll get laughed at for this, but I think the Astros spend some money on veteran guys, and they become what the Cubs are right now, which is a contender with a young core and more on the way. Yeah, it's always "next year" with me, but whaddya want?
They have some impressive young talent, that is for sure. I don't see pitching, especially the starting pitching, being nearly good enough for that type of ascent right now. That is where they would have to put a lot of their resources (both free agent dollars and trade assets) in order to do what the Cubs have done. Can McCullers stay healthy? Hasn't been able to so far.I'll get laughed at for this, but I think the Astros spend some money on veteran guys, and they become what the Cubs are right now, which is a contender with a young core and more on the way.

It's going to be a fun ride, that's for sure.Unfortunately for the Astros, the Rangers have as much young talent/potential. Going to be interesting to see how things unfold in that division of the next few years.
