I'm sure when the MLB schedule-makers had the Astros travel to St. Louis for a 4 game series against the Cardinals, they probably thought they were enabling some good pennant race drama. Alas, this September, all this series represents is a showcase of potential future starters for both teams. In the case of the Astros, the three being watched closely are JR Towles, Josh Anderson and Cody Ransom.
Nevertheless, watching the bits and pieces of this series have been a painful reminder of the fact that the Astros are playing irrelevant baseball in September for the first time in the past seven seasons. All compounded by the fast that the irrelevant baseball they have been playing is just plain bad baseball. Outside of the 18 run explosion the other night, there has not been a whole lot to even be encouraged about for next season.
Oh btw, they lost 7-4 tonight to the Cards.
