Please stick to the 45 mph speed limit on Southlake Drive. Speaking of 45, that how many games we expect the Rangers to win this year.:D

Have to follow up on my original post. Giles sux period. Good job getting rid of him. Never was what they thought he'd be when they got him from Phillies. But, not sure Osuna is the caliber Houston needs in the locker room either. We shall see. Rough articles out already on Osuna.

Astros are just fine. Hinch is in no hurry to rush anyone back on the field quite yet, but I would like to see Springer at least, so that I don't have to fear that that can become a lingering problem. I don't think Hinch is trying to set a win record in the regular season right now, he is trying to stay right for the big run if it can happen.

I went to the game last night, which they lost again, but things just didn’t go their way. Several really hard hit balls with nothing to show for it. Seattle manufactured all 3 of their runs with 2 outs and the 3rd one was off an absolute jam shot... unlucky... but I’m not worried. Once we get springer, altuve, McCullers, McCann, marisnick etc back, we should be fine. Plus Correa has only been back for 2 games, so he’s gotta find a rhythm

last night was a big win. I am liking that the astros are hitting the ball again. I think the stress of having 3 of the better offensive threats out of the line up was putting pressure on the others to step up, and it finally got to them.
