Happy Birthday Michael Nelson Trout, who turns 24 years of age today!
Hey, it was an off day. No Angels baseball to mock or celebrate. Only Houston breaking through the Oakland bullpen and the Halos losing another 1/2 game to start the weekend 2.5 games back. But where are we now, really? I have time to play with numbers.
When we all woke up on the 4th of July, the Astros had a 5 full game lead on the Angels. Houston has played 28 games since that morning and gone 13-15. This includes a 3-game sweep of the Halos.
