How to put "Astros" and "playoffs" in the same sentence.

As the Astros can never break the two-game-win-streak seal, Richard Justice from the Houston Chronicle has found a word that Houston sports have never seen, optimism. When Drayton McClain traded Brad Lidge to win the World Series with the Philidelphia Phillies, in return the stros' revived 26-year-old Michael Bourn. Last season's plan fell apart when Bourn didn't hit. He ran, but didn't hit. He finished the season with a .229 batting average and 111 strikeouts. Quote me if you have to, but Michael Bourne is this years Dustin Padroia, Wandy Roudigouez is this years Cliff lee. and once again I expect the Houston Astros to wild enough to choose the card to put them in the the playoffs.
