September 12, 201313 yr Seriously. Can we take first place in the reverse standings? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/reversestandings2014 We are currently 4.5 behind the Astros for Carlos Rodon (since we lost today.) They have 16 games left to play and we have 18 games. Do you guys think we can do it? This is the closest we've been to winning something since 2009 or so. The Astros just swept the Mariners and will be playing a homestand while we're out on the road. We are getting some major reinforcements from the absence of Jose Fernandez and the emerging presence of Brian Flynn. Regulars like Donovan Solano and Ed Lucas can be expected to contribute immensely as well. Can we do it? Do you believe?
September 12, 201313 yr Time to bring Wes Helms out of retirement. We can do this. Wes Helsm might actually improve this team. Keep him away!!!
September 12, 201313 yr Very good chance now that Jose is shut down. More dependent on if the Astros play well or not because I expect us to be pretty awful down this final stretch.
September 12, 201313 yr Marlins: 4 @ Mets 3 @ Phillies 4 @ Nationals 3 v Phillies 3 v Tigers Astros: 3 v Angels 3 v Reds 4 @ Indians 3 @ Rangers 3 v Yankees Astros have won 3 in a row after sweeping the Mariners. They certainly have some games where they can play to be spoilers.
September 12, 201313 yr Patience guys. We are going to the world series in 2015, back to the future 2 said so.

September 12, 201313 yr I think, realistically, we'd have to go like 2-16 for the final 18 games to have a chance. And I think we can do just that.

September 12, 201313 yr Author Is Carlos Rodon going to be easy to sign? Or is it too early for this? I don't think he'll go higher than 1 again lol. I mean, he might shit on himself next year and wait another season but I hope not.

But why would you leave a guaranteed number one spot?
September 12, 201313 yr Is Carlos Rodon going to be easy to sign? Or is it too early for this? Either way it doesn't matter. You want to be in that position to at least make him an offer. You can only do that by being the worst team in MLB.
September 12, 201313 yr Anyway, if we follow Wild Card's mangerial/lineup strategies, first place could be ours. /unapologetic d**k

But why would you leave a guaranteed number one spot? My worry is we don't draft him at all knowing his signing bonus. If he does fall ala Mark Appel then I guess he leaves and re enters the next draft. But I don't really care about that. My main point the whole time was what if we don't even draft him because his demand will be too high.

September 14, 201313 yr Author We lost and the Astros have a 5 run lead in the 6th! Will be make it to 3.5 games back???
September 14, 201313 yr I think, realistically, we'd have to go like 2-16 for the final 18 games to have a chance. And I think we can do just that. That's the spirit! Very promising start, 4-3 loss to Mets and Astros putting it to the Angels. If we can't beat the sorry ass Mets even with 2 Stanton HR's then I have to say our chance of having the Astros overtake us is very realistic.
