No they haven't.

They've been talked about for sure, but they have not been THE talk.

Astros have been the talk of MLB the last couple years.

No they haven't.

Maybe not in the ECB pukes, but the rest of baseball has been talking about them for a while.

Did I stutter?

I said what you said when I said it. But with more emphasis on the fact that they were not THE talk. Sheesh.

Anyways, I can think of a few teams in flyover states that people were prolly talking about more than they were the Astros.
Cubs
Indians
Cardinals

Yeah, I would think you could throw in the Dodgers, Nationals, Mets, Yankees and Red Sox into that list easily. Astros are way down on the attention list in MLB. Cripes, they're way ahead of the rest of the pack, but all I hear about is Judge and the Yankees, the Dodgers, what's wrong with the Cubs, etc... I honestly can't think of the last time I've heard the Astros mentioned on sports talk around here. I'm not kidding.

Yeah it's almost like sports media is a business and they talk about the things that will make them the most money.

Talking about the Dodgers instead of the Astros in DC makes money how?

Most people in DC can presumably find LA on a map, and the Dodgers are one of the marquee teams in MLB.

That still doesn't make money for my local sports talk station. They talk about other teams that might be interesting to the listeners here. The point was that Gil claimed the Astros were the talk of MLB. They aren't interesting to folks here and they're not even in the conversation, but I do hear about a lot of other teams.

You don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger

and you don't argue semantics with 89Hen

[89Hen]

Oh good Lord.

I know, I know. What people talk about within 30 miles of where you live is all that matters.

Or bandl in NY.

[Gil Dobie]

I don't know where you guys get your baseball news, but I've been hearing how good the Astros were going to be in the future for the last 3 or 4 years. That was before they beat the Yankees in the first round of the 2015 playoffs.

Sure. But they weren't THE talk of baseball, as you said earlier. Not by a long shot.

Perhaps you're not clear on the meaning of "the" here when you state "the talk of baseball".

BTW, this whole semantics discussion is pretty much ridiculous and part of the reason this site rules

Local sports talk and ESPN. If I were an actual huge baseball fan, I'd probably go to MLB geek sites and maybe I'd get info on the Astros.

[Jjoey52]

MLB network, Fox and ESPN carry Yankees and now the Cubs more than anyone else. MLB said when they originated they would carry a good balance of all the clubs, but they reneged on that. I would like to see more of Astros, Brewers and other good teams other than Yankees and Cubs.

OK, it's the second half, and the Phillies still suck.
