In addition, Altuve's .327 average when batting with two outs ranks 8th in the American League. Since 2011 Altuve has a .340 average against lefties which is 5th best in the American League. In 75 games Mr. Altuve has reached base in 65 of those games-an 87% rate much like the odds in favor of the Vegas casino! It would behoove you to catch an Astros game if only for that one reason. Jose Altuve plays the game the right way!
It might be possible that there was an element of divine intervention involved with this win. The game went exactly three hours and sixteen minutes (3:16). It was also the first time in 11 days that Texas went with the Red after an 8-2 run wearing the Blue.
Of course today the sports and information is 24/7 to the point that a rumor is made into a story or a topic that is more squawk than talk fills the airwaves. The old school in me expects at least two credible sources before the rumor mill begins to fly erroneously.
Goose Gossage and David Justice the skippers for 2013. Gossage alone provided many a memory from 1978 through 1983 in the Bronx Zoo.
David Stern's 30th and final draft was actually witty and obnoxious. Brooklyn as your backdrop, why not? The Mavericks had a plan: Draft down, create cap space and land Superman. The latter we'll not know about until July 10th.
