Yeah, John Royal has been on fire this week writing about the Astros. This latest article breaks down 25 positive statements about the Astros. There's a healthy dose of cynicism sprinkled in to back-handed compliments, but it's a solid idea. Since I didn't see it on Twitter to provide my own, here's five more...
↵1) I'm positive this is the worst Astros team I've seen in my lifetime.
↵2) I'm positive there is much, much more interest in the minor leagues than there is for the major league team right now.
↵3) I'm positive that I will miss Carlos Lee when he's gone, if only for the jokes. Who else will provide that kind of target?
↵4) I'm positive that Hunter Pence is the best player on this team. And that he's at best the fourth-best player on a playoff team.
↵5) I'm positive Jim Crane will not fix all the problems with this team. It'll take time, money and positive management for that.
