September 19, 2011 – What is going on with the 52-100 Houston
Astros? They were supposed to collapse
and take the cellar by now. They’ve gone
4-4 since September 10. Even though they
broke the 100 loss mark, hats off to the Astros for refusing to give up and winning some games!!
The team that’s making its move is the 59-92 Minnesota Twins,
who trails Houston by 7.5 games. Minnesota
is 1-9 in the last 10 games and lost the last 8. They are 2-13 in September versus Houston’s
5-10 September record.
Last update’s honorable mention, the 87-65 Boston Red Sox, is
still on the skids. They are 1-4 since
the last update and are 4-13 in September.
They face the 62-89 Orioles for a home and home series, but also face
the Yankees.
Today’s honorable mention is the defending cellar dwelling
champion 68-85 Pittsburgh Pirates. They’re
2-8 in their last 10 games and have lost their last three. Although the Chicago White Sox are also 2-8
in their last 10 games, they have a better record, so Pittsburgh gets the
nod. The Pirates are 6-11 in September
and have a tough road ahead. They have
to face the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Reds, and end the season against the
Brewers.
The magic number is down to three for the Houston Astros.
Note: The Last Place Updates for the NFL will start after Week
4.
