This series has been freakishly uncanny for us. I've never seen so many walked in runs, hbp in runs, and passed ball runs in such a short amount of time. We've given the series away...it hasn't just been bad luck.

---

Been thinking the same. We have to be close to a record for these types of runs in a series.

Don't forget the overthrow to first by Cole in game 2 and the ball rolling on top of the pad. Just a weird vibe all around.

Regardless of how this series turns out (and I think it still will go 7 games), I miss having Alex Cora in our dugout. Not a shot at Hinch, as I thought the two made a good team, but the Sox made a good hire knowing they would have to beat the Stros to get to the WS eventually.

this is when you have to suck it up and put it behind you, and use it as energy in game five. The Astros need to take this as a one game playoff. Just win game five is all that matters, don't worry about anything else. With Verlander on the mound I am confident we will take game 5.

And one of the most overlooked factors in the series! Cora knows everything about us. Everything. In a series as close as this advantage Sox...

Going to game tonight to see JV do what he does. Send us back to Boston and we will curse Joe turkey neck West relentlessly. We win tonight.

Hopefully the players are waking up as pissed off as fans are. Even without all ****ing terrible calls, we've played like a minor league team with all the god awful mistakes and terrible ABs. Its all fixable, but it has to be fixed now.

Now I know the guys wanted to be better than last year and the thought of coming back from 3-1 down in a series sounded cool at the time, but it is entirely too stressful for the fanbase.

Let's ****ing mash tonight behind some awesome JV pitching and get some momentum, because tomorrow isn't ****ing guaranteed anymore

Houston hasn't been jobbed on a bad call like that since Renfro & the Steelers back in the 70's.

How about the call Fred Brocklander made in the 1986 NLCS?

People were resting their hands on the yellow line - if they didn't lean forward this would not be an issue, but I was just a physics major so....

That picture proves the exact opposite of what you're intending. The guy in the blue and the guy in the oranges hands are behind the shoulders of the guy in white. And the guy in whites shoulders are at worst even with the top of the wall.

---

The guy in white with his left hand on the wall and reaching way over to the right had no business doing that. I think that's what caught West's eye and cost us.

Did the fan in white or orange get ejected from the stadium?

So many little things went wrong for the Astros or didn't go their way. It was almost like they were cursed last night. I think that makes it much easier to bounce back tonight.

Take Astros -1.5

Obviously our backs are against the wall and we have to win out. It can be done if our two aces have good games and we hit. I think the order was productive last night just not enough, "asterisk". Platoon without Keuchel in game 7 Go 'Stros! #neversettle

The security guard that was blocking the camera directly on the line should be fired immediately. He had no business blocking that camera as I'm sure they are made aware of the need to have that line of vision clear.

The worst part is that, had he not been in the way, and it was clear that the fans were not reaching over, MLB might still have stayed with that call of fan interference.

Probably more so than I was last night

Let's be real here. There was no way mlb was over turning that call no matter how many angles they got.

Why is the security guard standing down there while the game is going on in the first place? Shouldn't they only be there in between innings? Do they stand there the entire game and block people's views?

and i'm pretty sure his job as a security guy is not getting in the best position to watch the home run.

instant replay in sports should be removed as it's rarely used to over rule a human's mistaken call.

I think the security officer deal is a moot point. ****ty spot for a camera if that's what you're looking at. That camera is more for balls down the line than home runs. If the security guard wasn't there the guy/girl in seat 1 would have been the ones blocking the view.

They usually sit on a stool at the bottom of the aisle or occupy the last seat on the first row during game play and then stand in the aisle facing the fans between play.

Boston is essentially us last year.

Seriously clutch 2 out hitting, pitchers giving clutch performances, solid defense, and calls going their way.

That's exactly what we did last year and that's what it takes to win a WS.

Trying to remember the last time I was this furious at a call. I'm thinking it was the Auburn JFF horse collar non-call.

Does Bregman stay leadoff after 0-5 last night?

No idea why this was deleted but I had the privilege of going to game 5 last year as well as tonight. This game had quite a few moments of that same feel. You just knew bregman would come through, unfortunately it didn't happen. We gave Boston way too many free outs and free bases. The replay ****ed us, plain and simple and that call will stick with me forever. Joe West, you gobble necked fat ****...


I loathe you. If fans know your name, angel Hernandez, Jim Joyce, Joe....... You probably suck cock at your job
