    Don’t want to derail my scenario question....

    So...pitching Keuchel today and winning means the Astros get swept in the World Series? That’s a weird conclusion.

    I just really hope we don't need Keuchel today.

    Let's dominate, then celebrate.

    I feel good with Morton going today and our bullpen situation here.

    We don't have to stretch out Charlie and have him face a lineup a third or fourth time.

    The Yankees didn't kill Morton. He walked a guy on an AB where the Ump squeezed the hell out of him, gave up a bloop hit, and then had a ridiculous home run hit off of him by a guy who probably swung a juiced bat. Other than that, Charlie looked dominant as the contact was awful from the Yankees.

    So, someone is claiming they would have rather have had the 2005 Astros not make the World Series, than to make it like they did, and get swept by the White Sox?


    Right.....


    Must be What....

    I assume that 99.9% of the Astros fans would choose option 1.

    So does Tillman not really like baseball? He doesn't really show emotion on such a big play. Never stood up, never cheered, never got hype in this video....

    He had a lot of bad breaks in the first game in NY. He was making decent pitches, gave up that fluke HR to Frazier. Both times the rallies came with 2 outs in the innings and most of them were infield or bloop hits.

    The one and only..... though, making the world series would be great.

    Monday morning quarterback before the game even starts.

    "I want everyone to make smart decisions, but I won't define exactly what "smart" is. If the results work out, then they were smart. If the results are bad, either immediately or in a week, then I'll blame the manager and say I was right. Either way, I was never wrong."

    Biggio didn't stand and barely did a head nod so what does that mean?

    Nothing

    I'm so chill and relaxed.

    The game can't get here SLOW enough.

    Enjoy your Saturday.

    Don't love switching McCann and Reddick in the order. I know Josh is struggling but I'd still rather see him up there with runners on than brian
