HOUSTON -- When I reached out on Twitter on Sunday and asked readers to submit some questions for this week's Astros Inbox, I fully expected this kind of strong response. Getting swept at home in four games by the Mariners will do that.
More than 100 questions filled up my Inbox this week, and most were filled with angst. That's somewhat to be understood, considering the Astros' lead in the American League West is only 2 1/2 games over the A's, but the sky is not falling. So let's calmly open the Inbox and answer some of the more reasoned questions.
