Over for the ‘Stros?

I have been able to comfort myself with the Astros dismal record by telling myself that they would mount one of their proverbial second half comebacks.  But after getting swept by the Cubbies in the first three games post-All-Star-break things are really looking a bit dismal.  My beloved Astros are currently owners of the fourth worst record in the majors and the third worst record in the NL. I remain a fan through thick and thin and I hold out hope for a final third season comeback.

Oh well, at least the Mariners, my AL faves, are doing quite well.
