Game 1 of the WORLD SERIES!!

After 162 games, 2 playoff series, this is it

Time to leave EVERYTHING on the field and to put all doubters and haters to rest

With JV on the bump, hopefully we won't need her, but we all know Rally Kate has our back



Now there is only one thing left to do

Good luck, have fun, and remember GO ASTROS!!!!!

I hate multiple things about that video:
1. Seeing Berkman in a freaking cardinals jersey
2. Joe buck gives perhaps the worst call ever for a series extending walk off home run in extra innings in the World Series ever
3. The cardinals succeeding

But at least it was at the rangers expense haha

Tonight I talked to someone who would know, and I'm not sure we'll work that very hard for JV to return after this season.

Apparently it wasn't real popular at the highest levels that he never attended in the dugout during his rehab last year, to help mentor the young pitchers.



This really makes no sense.

Verlander or any old pitcher isn't hired to mentor young players. Some do, some dong.

How did our young pitchers do without this mentoring? Seems to have worked out.

Anyone in a position to know the Astros plans is going to keep it close to the vest.

What you heard is someone's guess. Might be an educated guess, but still a guess

That was a rumor last year before he re-signed. Everything I've heard through my source who is close to the team says the guys love JV and that he's stepped up in a big way from a leadership standpoint this year.

If I were a rangers fan, I would never get over that game. Unquestionably the worst game in that franchise's history. The best part is they blew that game twice!

To make it worse it was twice against guys who should not have beaten them. Freese never really played at a high level besides that series and Berkman was on his last stint

Time to exercise some demons tonight.

Verlander 0-6 in World Series
Astros 0-4 in WS game 1

That break felt like an eternity but hopefully it wore off whatever magic the Phillies harbored during the first few rounds.

I'm not getting crap done at work today. It's going to be a day filled with great movies like Major League, For Love of the Game, Sandlot, and who knows what else

Why would you want fit demons?

Since the game is less than 12 hours away, the quick version will have to do -

Well, it was from one of thr minority owners directly, and they were quoting Jim himself, so I thought it was relevant.

And I never said I agreed with it at all. I just thought fellow Ags would appreciate the info.

if you want to kill 40 minutes since it's almost futile to try to work today check out the apollo podcast with Blummer as the special guest.

Also, at the 12:20 mark Blum freaking nails this team "It's almost a sinister arrogance."

That's perfectly phrased...sinister arrogance, let's ****ing go!!!!

I don't have any insider information, but can confidently say two things:

1-if Verlander does not come back, it will be because of money. It won't be because he was not buddy buddy enough with Seth Martinez.

2-Astros in 5.

LFG!!!!

I don't have any numbers to back this up, but it doesn't seem like striking out looking is an issue for our free swinging right handers

Dude has some movement on those two seamers but Castillo had an even nastier 2 seamer at 98-100mph and we still got 3 runs on him. We can hit anyone that has an ERA of 5 or lower

I assume that is Altuve & Gurriel. They're very good at not K-ing. But we've seen Altuve chase all day long in the DS & CS.

I know.

The tweet and my post were about the backwards K. That does not seem to be our problem.

Bought this in the middle of the '17 WS, ended up splurging and got it signed and framed. I guess I need to add another one this year. Didn't buy one in 19 and 21 and we all know what happened there.

Looking forward to the Apollo Hou hype video this morning.

I thought the content of BenOnDaTops video was pretty average. He also just annoys the **** outta me so I am biased I'm sure

Nope. Nola is in the zone a lot early. Pena, Altuve, Tucker, & Diaz(?) have a chance to jump on him early.

Harper has walked twice in 46 PA this postseason. One was intentional. I wouldn't be sad if we pitched around him. See if he'll get himself out.
