    We just needed to GTFO of NYC. Our bats will come back alive once we return to the Lone Star State. Verlander will be Verlander. McCullers was DEALING in game 4 and only threw 81 pitches. I fully expect him to start game 7 on 3 days rest. Astros in 7.

    HOME SWEET HOME.

    All it takes is one feel good moment. Momentum is so fickle in sports, especially baseball. Let's focus on game 6. If we win game 6 then anything is possible in a game 7.

    If you told me before the season started we would need to win two games at home to get to the World Series and our pitchers would be Verlander and McCullers, I'd be ECSTATIC.

    Man. We are not hitting their pitchers. They have to go scoreless for us to win.

    Maybe but there is zero positives to grab onto to give fans a reason to believe

    our only positive is that verlander is still undefeated as an astro.

    he turned our season around in the regular season when it started looking ugly. Can he turn our postseason around?

    jurys out on that one. get your popcorn ready cause I guarantee he won't go down like a bish

    betcha posters won't get mad at clutch for having hope. He has a lot more cachet than me or some of the other posters around here getting blasted for just having a little hope.

    not necessarily faith, but hope

    The Astros need to channel some of that 93-94 Rockets team energy.

    As much as it seems we're in the hole let's not forget nothing has happened that wasn't supposed to. Both teams took care of business at home.

    We got two games at home to win the pennant and I'm not giving up now!

    I really believe they will win on Friday. Game 7 however will likely be a nail biting, hair falling out stress fest that knowing Houston Sports we will lose on a ****ing balk or unassisted triple play or god knows what.

    The bats weren't alive first 2 games.
    The problem is, the positive guys are stuck on positive. Everything is always okay.

    When things aren't going well, they'll say it's okay because we'll win the next game. When that doesn't happened, it's okay, because we'll win the next game. When we get eliminated, it's okay, because there's always next year. Well, it's been 60 years of suck overall, but hey, everything is okay.

    The supposed negative guys are in here cheering for the team game after game hoping things finally come to fruition. Most positive posters don't post much. They'll say they can't post more often because the negative guys overwhelm the board. They'll call negative guys "b****es" and "p*****s", but really all that is is misplaced anger. HOU has been a loser ever since I was too young to comprehend. But yeah, my fault for being speaking the truth.

    The positives think being positive is some badge of honor because they weren't negative.. LMAO
