The problem with playing losers like the Cubs is that they lose. Normally that's a good thing. For the Astros it's a bad thing. Loser Cubs impede progress. The Astros team goal is to lose as many games as possible. Beating the Scrubs two out of three and putting a two game winning steak is the wrong approach.
As always I look for the positive. Even in victory, there is always something to build on. For starters the run production is still abysmal. Other than the torrential run scoring in the Cardinals finale, the 'stros are still struggling at the plate. In three games the Astros scored 2, 4 and 3 runs. Any other team and that would probably equate into more Astros losses.
Fortunately I believe the pitching won't hold up. This pitching staff won't hold many teams under 4 runs. In the future I look for worse outings from the pitchers.
While victory brings despair, I have low hopes that the march toward futility will continue this season.
Go 'stros! Bring on the Marlins!
