So, they choked in the 18 inning game? They choked in the pennant clinching game against the Cardinals? They choked Saturday night? They choked when they fought back to make the playoffs in 2004?
The Astros have lost to a worse team exactly one time in their franchise history. But I get it, you're a defeatist chump,and that's not really your fault.
This is funny. It was posted after game 4 against the Royals in a thread titled "Biggest Choke Job in Astros History?" <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...e-job-in-astros-history.269440/#post-10059912">Game 4 Biggest choke job in Astros History?</a>
The difference? The Astros weren't supposed to be in the playoffs in 2015. They were the upstarts. This year.....they had a s 2-0 lead and won 101 games.
BTW....if u want to use 2015 as another example of the Astros........*coughing up things*......well.......there you go.
The entire fandom needs to adopt this mindset. Before Dream put the team on his back the city was on meltdown just like 3 losses in Yankee stadium. Enduring those 3 games made game 6 and 7 so sweet. Don't get me wrong I'd rather sweep every series and save the stress but comebacks when all but the very faithful still believe are the most enjoyable victories in sports. Hoping for an Astros in 5 so we can see them win it in MMP. BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA! BEAT LA!
Choking is not about losing. It about HOW you lose. The Astros going into the fetal position in NY was the definition of choking...if they would have lost the series. If you lose playing your best....that is not choking. Sometimes the other team is better (or plays better).
AND THEY WON THE SERIES and have their rotation set up just fine. Who cares how they did it.....are you trolling or just dense?
Also....I assume they get a free pass from you against LA since the Dodgers are the superior team. So even if the Astros are up 3-0 and then proceed to blow 10 run leads in games 4-7, they didn't choke - correct?
Dodgers are not a superior team. These teams are equal. IF the Astros Blow 3-0 lead...then it is a choke.
You responded to 2015 and then in the same statement wrote this: "This year.....they had a s 2-0 lead and won 101 games." Simple question....did the Astros choke Friday night or Saturday night?
How are the Dodgers and Astros equal, but the Astros and Yankees aren't? Yankees run differential was better. Yankees starting and relief pitching was better.
Astros won 10 more games.....lead the league in hitting. Yankees Run differential was better by 2 runs...lol. The choke had nothing to do with the quality of the teams. It had to do with the WAY the Astros played. They were RATTLED by Yankee Stadium. They laid down and spit the bit. They didn't compete.
No......they didn't. They choked in New York. They laid down......and didn't compete. Losing in NY? Fine....but atleast compete.
Jesus ****ing Christ on a popsicle stick, they won the ****ing series already, give it a GD rest. They didn't lose it like the Indians. THAT is choking. It's not choking if you win the series. So, please, move on.
LOL...sensitive? They won the series. Hopefully, they learned from the experience....and don't repeat it in LA. They were GREAT on the road this season......so the whole NY thing was surprising and concerning. They HAVE to win on the road to win the WS.
