Houston Astros send out overly optimistic tweet

The Houston Astros have already made a pair of solid moves at the Winter Meetings, adding relievers Luke Gregerson and Pat Neshek to a bullpen that had an MLB-worst ERA in 2014. But the AL West club, which went 70-92 last season after three straight 100-loss seasons, is considered far from a contender by most baseball people. Just don't tell that to the team's Twitter account.

Thank goodness! For what it's worth, tickets for the Swift show go on sale Dec. 19 at 11 a.m. ET. As for the likelihood of the pop sensation's 1989 World Tour stop at Minute Maid Park being bumped for the playoffs … well, stranger things have happened. As noted by our friends at Big League Stew, "Back to the Future II" had the Chicago Cubs winning the 2015 World Series.

The Astros last made the postseason in 2005, when they were swept by the Chicago White Sox in the Fall Classic.
