The State of the Astros, All-Star Break Edition: Part 1

If you had told me on April 1 that, at the All-Star Break, the Astros would be a half-game out of 1st place in the division with a 5.5-game lead on the Rangers and in the 2nd Wild Card spot by 3.0 games, I would immediately think that you were playing an April Fool's joke and then I would want to spit on you.

Yet that's where the Astros are. And while the preceding paragraph is astounding given the last four years, I can't help but feel like the Astros haven't screwed something up over the course of the last month.
