    These next 6 games are probably the most important 6 games of the season. 3 against the A's and 3 against the M's

    We have to win 2 of 3 each of the 2 series.

    Same. I do prefer SEA to OAK due to their way too long playoff drought (finally making it back in 2015 after what felt like forever was sooooo exciting and felt so great, so I understand), but I respect both teams for playing great baseball and putting on a great show. Yes, I miss our old rivalries, and I feel like Anaheim, Oakland, and Seattle are not hateable teams, just teams I respect even though we compete against them. Hats off to all three, even the Angels, who would be better if not for injuries, and being in such a tough division. Arlington is obviously different, and I really, REALLY hate them no matter how bad their record is. I don't want to call them South Oklahoma because I don't want to insult Oklahoma. Even if the game is against one of the other AL West teams I just can't root for them, never, EVER.
    Rooting for a SEA/OAK Wild Card Game and ultimate Yankee collapse, but if it's Yanks vs either of our "rivals", then Go Seattle/Oakland! Under no circumstance can I ever root for the Yankees, I always want them eliminated as soon as possible.

    There are those guys who when they come to the plate, your not just trying to avoid an out, but two outs.

    Astros strike first. Hopefully this gives us the lead FOR GOOD.
    Alex ties Gattis for most Astros homers this year. Rooting for Bregman to be our team's HR leader this year, not that it matters.

    Aside from it being nice to get George’s bat back, it might be even better getting back to having 2/3 outfielders you cannot run on.

    Shouldn't even be a single run scored here, this might cost them.
