Average is not something that most people strive to be. Being average is definitely not the goal for college football teams as they prepare for their season. Teams map out and strive to reach their goals each year, but you'll never hear a coach or team captain in a locker room give a pregame speech to the team where they say "We gotta go out there and be average" and then put their hands together and say, "One, two, three, average!"

Heyward is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Heyward started the first two games after being signed by the Astros but has been in the lineup just once across the last four contests, with two of those coming against righties. The hot-hitting Ben Gamel is in right field Wednesday and looks to currently be higher in the pecking order than Heyward, although both players are likely to see their playing time cut when Kyle Tucker (shin) returns.

Grisham hit a grand slam in his lone at-bat in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Rangers. Grisham entered the game as a defensive replacement when the Yankees were down 10-2. He came up with a big slam in the ninth inning, but the Yankees didn't build off of it. Grisham has functioned as a fourth outfielder lately and hadn't collected a hit since Aug. 14. He's slashing a paltry .187/.294/.380 with eight homers, 28 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base over 195 plate appearances.

The Venezuelans living in Aurora apartment buildings facing condemnation were not put there by the city of Denver. Denver city spokesman Jon Ewing said none of the residents are part of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program, or DASP. Amidst a flurry of media reports, some not substantiated, some have claimed the City and County of Denver placed the migrants in the Aurora buildings.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
