Just go Astros hat with an Aggie shirt and you already have all your bases covered.

counterpoint: 7 straight hours of agonizing stress.


Either way I'm drinking a sheet ton of beer Saturday. Much like last Saturdaywhere it was Astros game, straight to Aggie Football, then across the street to watch UFC.

No mixing teams. Pick one or wardrobe change.

I don't plan on leaving the house tomorrow.

Pork shoulders will be on the smoker in the morning and ready to pull off once the Ags are done and before the Stros start.

That sounds good. I think I might do some pulled pork too.

I gotta get a dinner in at 530 so hopefully, A&M has the game in hand and we finish before the Astros start.

I posted this in the ALCS tickets thread, but in case anyone still needs tickets, here's what I have left:

Game 3, 430, Row 14 - 2 @ $129 ea.
Game 4, 409, Row 17 - 2 @ $129 ea.
Game 5, 407, Row 13 - 4 @ $120 ea.

That's what I paid for them plus fees, so hopefully someone can use them. I'd prefer not to sell any singles, but I will break the 4 for Game 5 into pairs if needed. They're listed on StubHub for slightly more (to break even after they take their cut), so if you want any, let me know so I can take down the listing.

The only time I double up on team gear (Astros hat and Astros shirt/Aggie hat and Aggie shirt) is if I am actually attending a game that those teams are participating in. Other than that I am always mixing my sports gear.

So today's off day debate is wardrobe etiquette?

For the record, I go Aggie shirt and Stros hat.

For me, full marron Aggie attire head to toe, and then I wear a Reddick style Astros speedo on the outside of my pants.

60% of the time it works every time.

I'll change between games also. Only time I've mixed on purpose (not counting days where I'm just grabbing whatever hat is by the door or something) is last year when the Astros were playing while we had a game at Kyle Field. Had to go maroon shirt/astros hat that day.

The tequila sunrise jersey will be going on as soon as the Ags are done tomorrow.

If I am attending one of the games I stick to one team, if I am at home I just do a quick wardrobe change. However, I reserve the right to tweak my wardrobe if we aren't playing too well....

I have a Aggie Night Astros hat from several years ago that is all maroon with the old Astros partial star. No one really gets that it is an Aggie Astros hat.

if I am going to a Stros game its usually a Stros shirt with an Aggie hat.

If I am going to an Aggie game I dont really go out of my way to wear Astros gear unless it just happens.

random day in public...either/or.

Saturday I will have on Astros jersey and Aggie hat all day.

Went to the Kentucky game saturday with a maroon shirt on and my Astros hat with the gold logo.

Both teams won, so I might have to go with that again.

No hat. Aggie polo for Aggie game. Change. Astros polo for Astros game. Lots of beer throughout.

The only way I'll mix it up is if I'm watching the games at a bar or someone's house. But last night I did wear an Astros World Series Columbia pullover with a maroon Aggie golf cap.

Naked with an Astros hat only for postseason at home watching.

Seriously though you shouldn't double up, maybe unless you're going to the game. I always cringe when I see teasips wearing a puke orange hat and shirt at the same time. We get it, you went to Texas State.

I don't agree with it either. Why not drop Harris and Gattis? Straw would be way more useful than Gattis

Nothing wrong with going to texas state. I just know when I see someone decked out like that - that they didn't go to the university in austin.

This is the way to do it. Don't mix teams.

Wear Aggie gear for the Aggie game. Where Astros gear for the Astros game.

If I'm at home, I usually wear the shirt or jersey of the team that's playing. For example, I'll wear my Aggie 1956 jersey for the A&M game then my Springer orange WS jersey for Astros game. I will change to different gear if things start going South.

Also, you only double up with the same team gear if going to the game.

Gattis' bat in PH situations against Sale and Price will likely be more valuable than Straw. Straw's only real use right now is pinch running and defensive replacement.

Straw made sense against the Indians because runs were expected to be at a premium with Cleveland's pitching staff. Boston -- not so much.

But we'll be playing the Red Sox with a lot better hitting than the Indians. They scored more runs in the regular season than anyone else. Gattis has just been terrible lately and his career numbers against Sale and Price are bad as well.

The Red Sox bullpen is all righties. Who is Gattis going to pinch hit for? It doesn't make sense to me.

The only real pitch hit situation against Price and Dale would be Reddick, but even then you could start Jake or Kemp over him if you didn't want Reddick seeing lefties.
