The Houston Astros had a good week, taking four of five interleague games against their old NL Central rival St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds. Now 70 games into the season, the Astros are hovering near .500. What will it take in the 92 games remaining to climb into playoff contention?

While Houston experienced Dynamo championships in 2006 and 2007 and NBA titles back in the mid ‘90s, we examine some parallels between the city of Cleveland and its now former championship drought, and the city of Houston.
And we take a look at the Houston Dynamo’s first two games under interim coach Wade Barrett.
We ask Jeff Balke, who joins us each Monday to discuss developments in Houston sports.
