After a winter of being told they are the worst team in possibly the history of baseball, they have made a statement.
Their spring went better than projected, and if any team deserves to have an “it’s us against the world” it is the Astros.
With the exception of Jose Altuve, almost all of the Astros went undrafted.
Let’s see who from our league had the foresight to pick players from the- for now- most dominant team in the league:
Mishandled Samples has Chris Carter, though he left him on the bench tonight… not a bad move, as Carter went 0-4. Mishandled Samples must remember Carter from his early days with the A’s.
The Wayfarers has closer Jose Veras, though he wasn’t required to pitch in the 8-2 blowout over the Texas Rangers.
She Hate Me has Jose Altuve- a great player- who went 2-4 with a run scored. And that’s it for our league, three players from your first place Astros. Of course, I’m not sure She Hate Me exists– I’ve always given Say Hi 2 Ur Mom 4 Me a little crap about She Hate Me– always referred to him as his imaginary friend. She Hate Me did have three Rangers though that accounted for 5 of Texas’ 6 hits, but 3 of those were by guys on the bench.
So for a day, anyway, the Houston Astros are a first place team. Isn’t it great to have baseball back?…
