HOUSTON -- Do you remember May 22? It was only five months ago. The NBA was in its conference finals. The NHL had just moved to the Stanley Cup Final. The Twitterverse was up in arms about the "Game of Thrones" finale that aired three days before. And Gerrit Cole, Houston Astros pitcher, lost a game.
A lot of stuff has happened during the five months since then. The NBA and NHL have started new seasons. There's a "Game of Thrones" spin-off filming somewhere. Summer has come and gone. And Gerrit Cole, Houston Astros pitcher, finally lost another game.
