``How stupid can it get?'' Astros manager Phil Garner said. ``You just keep getting shut out, it's just stupid.''
The Astros were shut out for the 15th time, most in the majors.
It can't get much stupider around here.
This is a ridiculous, Yogi Berra-esque thread, guys. I know it. But come on, lighten up. We're in first-place until we're not. It's not over until it's over. Yes, it looks grimm. And I'm very, very nervous. Our schedule is tougher than both Tribe'n'Twinks.
I'm excited to be in a playoff race. If we come out of this race and win, it will be all the better for our team. Hell, if we fall back in the race and then reclaim it, that would be even better moving into the playoffs.
I think the guys finally realize that they can't be complacent and coast into the playoffs. I know we always hear the "We play every game the same" bull**** quotes, but it must have been hard for them to keep focused with that huge lead we had.
And, remember the old saying: If you told me at the beginning of the season that we'd have a 7 game lead in the last week of August, I'd have taken it!
