Astros: Why The Club Cannot Clinch Playoffs Tonight

It’s tough news for the Houston Astros.

What we thought was going to be a reality tonight will not come to pass at least for one day.

This race for the playoffs is exactly what I expected and what I projected when we got about to the midpoint of the season.

The Astros have been up-and-down since the All-Star Break as teams like the Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Angels have had time to catch them in the race for validity, a spot in the postseason.

Many of us fans thought that the Astros were going to have the ability to clinch a playoff spot tonight but the Angels just got through with an impressive comeback over the Rangers — scoring five runs in the ninth inning — to beat them 11-10 today.
