Look, I'm just going to come out and say it: the Houston Astros aren't a very good baseball team. That's a bit of an unpopular opinion, I realize, but you come to SB Nation for hard-hitting, uncomfortable sports facts. And also for GIFs. As you might imagine, we have a GIF waiting for you after the jump. It involves the Astros and it's likely much better than whatever you're imagining right now. Yes, better than that.

Gonzalez sprained his left ankle on the play and is day-to-day. Because Astros.
