It’s Not Easy Flying A Keuchel

Mr. Floor himself Dallas Keuchelthe man who seemed like a lock for the AL Cy Young had a shaky start last night as the Astros looked to him for assistance as they relinquished their division lead.  Shaky isn't the right word as his line was 4.2 IP, 9 ER, 11 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks.  I think a better word is atrocious.  Disappointing.  Horrific.  Abysmal.  Felix.  He allowed a pair of HRs en route to a six-run first inning, and never got into that groove he so often gets into.  You know, one of the 48 classic grooves you own across that three-disc set you bought for a low, low price of $29.99.  It's the final weeks of the season and I want to make sure you don't go doing something stupid here.  Keuchel just had one of those bumps.  It happens to the best of em - Kershaw had a 7 ER start last year in under 2 IP - and just move along.  Hope it didn't cut your season slightly short.
