I'll admit I didnt watch a ton of the NL playoffs but the couple of games I saw Washington slapped St Louis around like they were nothing. I was pretty worried about them especially since we caught some breaks with NY doing nothing with RISP. Astros didnt win 107 games by accident but they're up against it big time. Need some sorta spark to get them going.
That escalated quickly.
We still have God Family Friends and other hobbies. This may be good for some of us. Puts things back into focus. This is just a casual hobby, like gardening or collecting stamps.
Rockets' first game is tomorrow

Damn Nationals have been clutch the entire playoffs, starting with the NLDS. Our bats have been cold as well vs the good pitching. I wouldn't be surprised if we got swept now
was at Astros tonight and planing to be at Rockets tomorrow. Big opening game vs Bucks!schmendeler said:

The Astros have helped me get to sleep early the last two nights.
Surprised to see Astros are -125 for tomorrow. Seems crazy to me.

Did you buy a mattress from Gallery Furniture too?
It is -130 with my book. I thought it would be closer to even, or Nationals slight favorite.

This right here brother! Nats went up 11-2 and I got up off my buddy's couch all bent out of shape and walked into his kitchen. Saw that it was a place to LIVE LAUGH LOVE and thought to myself, family and friends are what matter in life. I'm at peace today.

strong lol to that
This team is too good to lay down for the other team. They have 107 reasons why they still believe the day after the ass whooping they took. So go on and water your lawn and trim your bushes and leave the dreamin' for us who still believe in our 'Stros!

As dejected as I was leaving MM the last 2 nights, THIS AIN'T OVER! Grienke can get it started. Cole is NOT GOING to have a crappy start again. Steal 2 games. Reclaim home field.
Just saw this on the baseball board.....
The Nats are riding high right now and for good reason. They're a very good team and they're on fire. Baseball is funny. A team can get hot and everyone's confidence goes through the roof. Ryan Zimmerman can hammer a Gerrit Cole fastball over the center field fence. Kurt Suzuki can beat up JV all day and rope a go-ahead home run off him. Pitchers consistently get out of tight jams. Every 50/50 ball (like Bregman's misplay last night or Springer's g1 shot that was two feet from tying the game) tends to go your way.
But baseball is also funny in that one loss can change everything. Confidence goes down slightly. A break or two goes the other team's way. Guys start pressing. I really think if we can just beat them once, their cloak of invincibility will be punctured and we'll have our way with them. They're good, but they aren't THIS good.
The season rides on Greinke and I honestly feel ok about that. We got him for this game specifically. Earlier this year in Oakland, we lost the first three games of a series and our lead had been trimmed to 6.5 games with over a month left to play. Lose the fourth game and it's down to 5.5. But Greinke mowed them down with 7 strong innings and essentially put away the division. This is his moment.
TLDR: If we win game 3, we win the series. And I think Greinke is gonna do it for us.

Time for Springer and the rest of the 'Stros to get on fire
I was in the room here one day... watchin' the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothin' about Pele. I'm watchin' what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in - upside down and backwards... the dang (sc) goalie never knew what the hell hit him. Pele gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'
They play 7 games for a reason.
When Hinch had Altuve try to steal third in the first I thought they were pressing too hard and trying to play small ball. Everyone just played tighter and tighter. Putting Pressly back in was okay, but not pulling him immediately after giving up a no out solo home run was not. Should've seen through the first pitch he just didn't have it.
Astros are going to play the next three with their back against the wall. Should be fun to see how they respond to adversity.

Sorry man, Jobu has left the building and isnt,coming back
Greinke is 1-0 against the Nats, going 7+ w/ 3 k's and only allowing 2 hits the only time he faced them this season w/ AZ.
Nats are hot and we're not. Simple as that. Hopefully that changes real quick.
This. There is no team in baseball that could win those 8 straight (Dodgers twice, St. Louis 4 times and the Astros twice (with Cole and Verlander)).David_Puddy said:

As a lifelong Stros fan I'm far less discouraged with this 0-2 deficit than any remotely similar situation in the team's history. For the first time we have a team that can look back as little as two years ago and say with absolute confidence that they have what it takes to win it.
Taubman fired. I hope this appeases the Baseball Gods and we turn this **** around!!!
LETS ****ING GOOOOOOOO!!!!
LETS ****ING GOOOOOOOO!!!!
Fire guy for making comment about what Osuna did. Don't fire Osuna for what he did.
well they hired Osuna after what he did...
yah, but that was before the media let the Astros know that talking about it was wrong.
