If one division was: Red Sox, Rangers, Twins, Rockies, Astros, and Diamondbacks,.... The Astros would be in the playoffs. Ha ha. Trying to construct a moral victory....
Dang, the Astros missed the playoffs, even in my last-minute losers bracket fantasy realignment. Still, they played so much better than last year, or the year before, etc.
Well, at least we would have seen some "meaningful" games in September. Pennant races are exciting, even when you lose.
