Thank you Astros baseball for being what Aggie football will probably never be.


I had an opportunity to go to Alabama out of high school on a theatre scholarship in 2012. Alabama would have won the national title my freshman and senior year.

Have to wonder how much easier my life as a sports fan would be if I made that choice

It takes special fortitude to be a Aggie football fan. Ive been watching them for 40 years and we haven't sniffed a natty in that time and I suspect I could watch another 40 with the same results. Ive been burned and disappointed too many times and have learned my lesson.

You would break down at every loss not sure how to handle it. Now you can handle defeat and will celebrate all the little victories in life

How would you rate your excitement for this postseason? 1-10.

I'm sad to say I think I'm probably about a 5.


I think I am around a 6. My excitement is down mainly because of our BP and the way the offense has performed on the road all year.

Pretty confident in the starters actually. Hoping our offense plays with some confidence today. Really need George, Altuve, and Bregman to do their thing.


I'm at a 5-6 going in. Astros playoff baseball in the afternoon brings back great memories of teachers wheeling the TV on a cart in to class to watch in 80-81 and then skipping school to see those 86 Mets games.
We get past the Twins, excitement will ratchet up to 7-8.


Go ahead and mark my excitement as a 9! Astros baseball in October! Can't wait for tomorrow! Let's Go!!

right on cue...the A's won't commit to a game 3 starter.

because you know they apparently don't know how much Montas and Luzardo will be used in the first 2 games.

but we know better

Bold prediction...Offense wakes up and we get back to mashing.

Seeing that video knowing the players can relax and have their family with them makes me think they loosen up and awaken.

They haven't been able to do that all season when on the road. That's great to see

I kinda like this.

Guess if need be ZG can piggy back one of those 2 and if not then he can go GM 3.

I'm surprised too but I like it. Glad we're thinking outside the box a little. If we have more confidence in LMJ/Framber against the A's than Greinke, then they should pitch first. Career/pedigree shouldn't be a factor in the decision.

My guess is they don't want a situation where Lance has to pitch an elimination game with two weeks of rest.

This could be fun. I have zero expectations unlike the previous three years where anything less than a title was complete failure.

Same here. For the first time since 2015 the idea that "anything can happen" is an encouragement, rather than a threat. 2020 has been weird. If the Astros lose, that's just 2020. But if they win, it's a big middle finger to everyone. House money.

Why on earth are we going with lance in game 1?

Because of his strong mental fortitude and calmness under pressure.

But its probably because he's been pretty damn good lately and probably matches up as well as anyone vs Oakland.

He would be number 4 on my list.

He hasn't pitched in 2 weeks, sucks on the road, and we have a hall of fame pitcher on full rest. Doesn't make sense.

And he hasn't pitches in like 8 days so it's better to not keep pushing him

You have complained about LMJ'd mental fortitude, but you would rather him the possibility of pitching an elimination game, which would be higher pressure than game 1, without throwing a live pitch in very close to two weeks?

When are you going to pitch him if he's 4 on your list?
