The final 2 games of the Astros 161 game season. Yes, 161 isn't a typo... with the Astros being eliminated form playoff contention, the Astros will not be playing the game on Monday against the Cubs... I still think that's a sham and they should play it; but who am I? If MLB/Drayton were worried about ticket sales and all of that for the 2 game series played at Miller Park, then they should want the income for the final game at MMP this season and make the Cubs fly down here and play it. But that's not going to happen and the Astros are only going to play 161 games.
