Denial: A River in Egypt and/or Houston, TX

While it was Prometheus who gave blind hope to all humankind, it’s MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart who has most recently re-gifted it (i.e. blind hope) — this time, in the form of an article which suggests the Astros aren’t terrible.

That’s not to criticize McTaggart himself, of course. He’s the beat reporter for the Astros and is doing his job when he quotes GM Ed Wade saying something like, “I think we’re going to be OK in a lot of different areas” and “I still think we’ve got the components to be a really solid ballclub” and “No, I’m not naked. I’m just wearing a suit of clothes that’re invisible to those unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent.”
