Where the Astros Rank

 


Congratulations, Houston Astros! (And shouldn't that name really be "Houston Astronauts"? I mean, WTF is an "Astro"? Just saying.)

This makes not only 2 World Series titles, but 4 pennants for the former Colt 45's, in the past 6 seasons. Impressive! (Beats the Yankees' 0-13 string.) 

So where do they rank in baseball history? Well, let's take a look!

  1. An Astro is a space dog. Just like Laika, except Laika was real. Laika died a cruel and painful death. Which would be acceptable for the asstros. and HAL. and ca$hole. and perm boy. and the trostster. especially the trostster. he's the straw that stirs the drink nowadays. or at least the master puppeteer.

  2. Iirc, the Ottoman Empire used to be a big deal, too.

    Don’t get me wrong - I hate the Cheatros. But the Yankees under Cashman are about as relevant as the Ottomans
