I do have to say singing Sweet Caroline is cool. I've been to Fenway once. Sat about 30 rows behind Steven King on the 1B line in a row right in front of the columns. Great atmosphere. Right until you have to take a leak. Then your enter the pits of hell.

Not much better than a beer and a dog and Fenway. One of my favorite places I've seen the 'Stros play. Been working in Boston M-TH the past few months and if we play them in the ALDS may try to get to a game.mathguy86 said:

Was just about to say this... No more repeat of the Chamillionaire business.
Go Astros! Go get number 100!

What is this in reference too
Our playoff run in 2005 produced this gem:
...and this one as well...
I'm still just not sure Correa should be in the 4 hole for this team. He hasn't quite proven himself yet.
I got sad last night think what might have been had Correa not been out for 6 weeks. Two potential MVP candidates.
Also Bun-Bs gem back in 2015

Freaking Yankees. Can't win a damn game against the Rays to make up ground against their rival. Have fun losing to the Twins after making all those mid season trades you tools.

I love the rainbows as much as anyone, but they never won us a world series.
I've been deep in thought concerning the Astros recently and I have come to a conclusion:
I like the new strategy of scoring 10+ runs and allowing 3 or less

Not sure if this was mentioned before:

The Astros' 51 road wins this season matches their entire wins total from 2013.
So when are we going to know game times?
I'm guessing it will be Monday night after the WC game.
And I can't wait for playoff baseball again. MMP is going to be absolutely ridiculous and if this offense is cranking out runs like they are now we won't be sitting down the entire game. SRO may not be so bad after all.
Hell if they produce half the runs they are now with our 1-3 pitchers you have to love our chances.

Yeah, I think the times are completely dependent upon whether the Yanks with the WC game

They just released some more tickets for the ALDS on Astros.com, I happened to be refreshing the page every hour and saw it
We need the Yanks to win this afternoon or the Red Sox clinch and can lazily coast into the ALDS and sit everyone.
I'm pretty sure that they sat everyone last night after about the 4th inning.Ag_07 said:

We need the White Sox to win.
1 win from 100, also 14 runs from 900 runs scored on the season. Let's do it!
Interesting...
Highly unlikely but interesting.

With the stress-free victory, the 99-60 Astros remained in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the AL. Cleveland's record is one game better, but the Indians hold the tiebreaker, so the Astros would have to pass them in order to take the top seed. Houston also still has a chance at MLB's best record and guaranteed home-field advantage in the World Series. If the Astros win out (and pass the Indians), and if the Dodgers lose their final three games, Houston and L.A. would finish with the same record. But the Astros hold the tiebreaker over the Dodgers by virtue of the better intradivision record.
Highly unlikely but interesting.
Just dropping in to happily eat some crow on my crapping on the "Process" shirts from a few years ago. Now I kind of wish I had bought one.
From my AtBat notification...Thursday's game marked the 8th time the Astros have won a road game by at least 10 runs. No other team has more than 4.
It's crazy how they hit so much better on the road

How long do you want to ignore this user?

It was said a multiple times during the brutal post-ASG stretch that since the division was all but locked up that really the only thing that matters is how healthy we are going into the playoffs and how we play the final 2 weeks. Knock on wood, but it would appear that (minus McCullers) the Stros are at full strength and are playing some of their best baseball during these final 2 weeks. Everything looks like its coming into place, and I'm getting pretty damn excited.
Goodness the thought of a JV, DK, LMJ 1, 2, 3 with McCullers in the form he had in May.... plus this lineup...
Reading some midseason thoughts. Yall are funny.irish pete ag06 said:I agree with all of this.CorpsAg11 said:
I know its gonna be a total meltdown on this thread after this game but i just wanted to say..
We still have a 9 game lead on the entire AL
Feliz is a very solid reliever.
Hinch was right to pull LMJ (maybe should have gone with a finesse guy, but still)
Hoyt may need a short stint in AAA to work on his control but he will be a solid go-to arm by seasons end
I don't think we should make any trades. We literally could get McHugh, Morton, DK all back in the next 2 wks.
Fresno is currently lighting up MadBum
But logic won't be allowed in here, only emotion. Sky is falling. Our bullpen is dead. LMJ is basically a glorified spot starter. Hinch couldn't manage a pony league team.
Has AJ said who's starting game 1 yet?
