Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

I don't know what I was smoking each time I fucked up the wins/losses/games remaining.  But...

The Astros have 23 games left (the WAS series is 4 games, and I completely overlooked October's denouement against the Cubs).  At 66-73, they need 15 wins to get to .500, i.e. no more than 8 losses.

15-8.

For their previous 23 games, the Astros are...15-8.
