You call a pile of AAA corpses in a locker room nothing? I see a tabloid cover. I see lots of tabloid covers.

They were eliminated as soon as they decided to not field a real team this year.

Not a prize I generally like to see awarded to my team. But with their new broadcast agreement, they can shower those kids in money. Now if they could just figure out a way to get people to want to watch them…………..

Mid-market. Generally rated 10th largest in the country. I think what you refer to is the old East Coast bias. But it did come up in a similar way in 2004. They went 36-10 down the stretch and were generally credited for the great performance.

Of course, that would not begin to do the job this year.

“Small” definitely wasn’t the right word, but you know what I mean.

Perhaps, but the Astros have not yet won the consolation prize — the #1 pick in the 2013 Amateur Draft. They lead the Cubs by 9.5 games with 33 games to go.

The Astros are a small market, so if that happened it would be written as someone else’s worst collapse ever. Narratives…

They’ll be eliminated, then they’ll turn up the heat against all of the wildcard teams, just to be “that guy”
