I've always liked Harper. If they make it I guess I'll have to learn to hate him.

Who has been a worse acquisition? Bell for the Pads or Mancini for us? Both have fallen completely off the face of the earth.
now there is much more pressure to perform
Regardless, Mancini outplayed him and cost less.
Outplaying his is debatable. But the cost was clear. Soto and Bell were a package deal and that was Monopoly money.
Would rather play SD. NL East teams have not been good for us.
If we beat the Yankees, I'm not worried about our NL opponent. We're
the best team left

They were similar. Mancini had pop. Bell did not but got on base better. Even though Mancini ~50 fewer ABs, he still doubled the amount of XBH.

You can't have Yankee legend Roger Clemens throw out the first pitch when we're playing the Yankees. I'd rather invite Correa or Springer back if we want ex Astros.
Roger Clemens will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 of the ALCS at Minute Maid Park. Josh Reddick will call "Play Ball."

There's also the Spanish language broadcast on MLB Network, I believe.

As long as he is wearing an Astros jersey, I'm cool with it
Reggie Jackson throws first pitch in game 2? Lol
NGL, kinda jealous of that sign.

Amazing that this is actually happening - tomorrrow - NY vs Houston for the 3rd time in 6 years playing each other to go to the World Series. Take it all in and enjoy this time. The 2 previous MVPs of those series are the ones we are still waiting to get hot (JV, Jose) so we know this moment is not too big for them. Astros roll in Game 1. Let's go!!!!!!!!!
Agree 100%. If he doesn't have a Astros cap on that fat roidy melon of his Im booing his ass off.Farmer1906 said:

I'll beat this drum until I die but the 2-3-2 format doesn't do the team with homefield advantage any favors.
Have to win the first 2 at home with their weak starters going. We need regular season JV to show up.
Stros in 6
Win 2 here...Steal one in NY...win GM 6 here.

Phillies defense is really bad
Underrated benefit of playing them
Playoff defense has won us plenty of games
They're almost literally a team full of DHs.
Nola and Wheeler are a nasty 1-2 duo that scares me.
Isnt the ws also 2-3-2? Either way all 7 game series imo should be 2-2-1-1-1
The World Series has been 2-3-2 since 1924. No way baseball makes that change any time soon. I almost said ever, but there have been changes like the DH that would indicate it could happen.
Drink in the bitter!

Feels so good, feelin' good again.
Buzzer free, commies
We are the better team for sure. But I'm still worried.
As the padres and Phillies proved, what happened in the regular series (between SD and LAD, or PHI and ATL) doesn't matter once october hits.

It sounds like they're chanting, "Walk Altuve."
The key in the ALCS is not allowing bogus MLB umpiring at Yankee Stadium to matter.

Might as well go Big Unit or Schilling. At least they also were thorns in the side of the Bronx.
Never going to happen with baseball.Ags #1 said:

All but one espn writer picked us, and most were winning in 5 or 6
Let's do it boys

Yep, when I hear Yankee Legend, Roger Clemens is not a name that pops to mind. Even if you limit it to the era in which he pitched for the Damn Yankees; Rivera, Petite, Jeter, Williams, Posada, Tino Martinez are names that pop to mind over Clemens.MarathonAg12 said:Farmer1906 said:

I have us winning in 6. Take the 2 at home. Take 1 of the 3 away, and win at home.
LFG
Lets not act like Clemens spent the majority of his career with the Yanks. And he was a vital part of the best period of Astros baseball prior to the last 6 years.Farmer1906 said:
