Hilarious Balk by Jordan Lyles of the Astros Pretty Much Sums Up Houston, the Worst Team in Baseball (History?)

After getting swept by Texas, Houston fell to 10-28, the worst record in baseball. The Astros run differential of -81 is by far the worst in the sport. I’ll let ESPN’s Bustler Olney take it from here:

In the 162-game era, the 2003 Detroit Tigers set a record for futility with 43 wins and 119 losses. Houston will challenge that this summer.

Remember last month when I mentioned my 10 favorite Milwaukee Bucks all-time … just because? Well, here are my five favorite Houston Astros of all-time, with a heavy nod to the 80s/90s, when I loved baseball and kept fantasy stats by hand:

1. Dickie Thon. As far as names go, it doesn’t get much better than this. Come on, this is a mustache straight out of Home Depot. Also, RBI Baseball.
2. Jeff Bagwell. Was a big fan of his awkward (at the time it was, right?) batting stance.
3. Craig Biggio. Hall of Famer, right?
4. Brad Lidge. Strange one, but I really loved the homer he gave up to Pujols. Gotta be an iconic moment in franchise history. This could be a 30-for-30, no?
5. Kevin Bass. Since probably 25% of my lifelong interest in the sport is tied up in RBI baseball, I always remember being able to get doubles and triples down the line with Kevin Bass.
