The only time "Astros" and "sixth" should be mentioned in the same breath is when you're mentioning how many consecutive trips to the ALCS 2022 made for.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you have to respect Houston. We alluded to the Astros finally being given the respect they deserve from the national media. ![]() ![]() The latest disrespect shown to the Astros is truly laughableĮarlier today we ran a piece on MLB.com’s prediction of Cristian Javier as the 2023 AL Cy Young winner. ![]()
