Sure. it’s limited to the Post-Sunday games of the AL West, but that’s the whole world for now, isn’t it ~ at least, until our Astros-prejudicial goals are accomplished of watching our boys sew up their second straight divisional crown on the way to the larger arena of accomplishment and adulation that still concerns us too!
How Seattle does from here is far from totally extraneous. Although the Mariners no longer have a chance of catching the Astros, they now go home to “entertain” Oakland in a three-game series that starts tomorrow night. The “Ms” have a chance to shoot three of the four holes still needed to kill Oakland as our club’s only remaining contender in the ALW. These standings and the remaining schedules of the top three ALW clubs are all still important to that end ~ and we of The Pecan Park Eagle wanted to get this picture to you at our earliest possible moment ~ and this is the evening prior to the old expected arrival time for this sort of thing in the old Monday morning Houston Past or Comical daily print rags.
The magic number for Houston to clinch the AL West is now “3”. ~ Any combination of Houston wins and/or Oakland losses that totals “3” ~ and the Houston Astros are the repeat champions of the American League West.
“Go Astros! ~ Our First Big Step is Now Yours for the Taking!”
