Yesterday, as I was working there was a game being played between the Astros and the A’s. I missed it but here are a few things I found out about it:
Jed Lowrie’s new club has the best record in in the AL, his old club has the worst record in the AL. The Astros are on a pace to lose 116 games. Jed Lowrie must be a happy man to be on a contending team after spending last year on the worst team in the majors. In the entire history of MLB the Astros have only beaten the A’s once in twelve times. A’s general manager Bill Beane must be some kind of a genius or something.
Poor old Bud Norris dropped to 2 – 2 while getting hammered for 6 runs before getting pulled in the first inning. Meanwhile, the chemically enhanced Bartolo Colon: raised his record to 2 – 0, scattering 4 hits and 1 run over his 6 innings of work in picking up the win.
The Astros tried to make a late comeback but it was not enough. Altuve raised his batting average to .365 after going 3 for 5 with a run and a RBI. Not much else to be said about the Astros.
I could rant about how Bud “Ugly” Selig is a corrupt miscreant and Jim Crane is his personal butt wiper but that would be like ranting about water being wet. So I’ll save that for later.
