The Astros pitching is historic. Go browse this stat page. So many crazy numbers. One that stand out is BAA against this staff is .196

Here’s the other side of the coin. The Indian’s bullpen ERA is 6.23 after tonight.

 

in the AL, no less

He’s starting Sunday against Cole in a grudge match.

I feel like that should be some sort of WWE match, like a hell in a cell, rage in a cage, painus in the anus, type of showdown.

Make both pitchers bat DH on Sunday.

That's the only thing left to do...

Through 52 games, the Houston Astros have scored 96% more runs (255) than they have allowed (130).

That is the greatest run ratio by a major league team at the 52-game mark since the 1905 New York Giants.

Imagine if we’d actually been hitting halfway decent every night.

Astros players channeling their inner Wes Welker...

 

Taking those comments into account, the Astros showed just how "special" they are as a team Thursday.

To prove it, Houston mandated every single player insert the word "special" into any answer they had for reporters after a 8-2 win over the Indians, where Clevinger allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings.

Setting the perfect example was the normally reserved Charlie Morton who won his 10th straight decision dating back to last season Thursday.

"It was an absolute team win," said Morton. "It's pretty fun to be a part of this special team."

In 5 games, the Astros have outscored the Tribe 30-11, so their run margin jumps 50% better than when the Astros play the rest of the League.

 

Cleveland...don't you ever stop being you.

God damn you Slorch! You fucking asshole! Everything’s a fucking travesty with you man. And what the fuck was all that shit about Tech? What the FUCK has anything got to do with Tech? What the fuck are you talking about?

It is absolutely relevant, with regard to "loaded" interview answers.  It also has ZERO to do with Texas Tech, other than that being Wes' alma mater.

Sensitive much?  Why not just fucking laugh?  Are you special like Clevenger?

 

Regarding Rex Ryan's foot fetish:

So Gattis averaged 25 HR a game early in his career?

How can people who get paid to speak about the game say shit that is so stupid?
