Not in the WC era. The Braves won 8 in a row in '20 before losing the CS to LA. '14 Royals & '07 Rockies both swept the DS and CS and then lost the WS, including game 1.

Fangraphs playoff odds have the WS at 54-46. Basically a coin flip and the edge to home field. Interesting.

Many on this thread said the Stros wouldn't catch NYY this year.


I said early in the year. The stanks would win the regular season bust as usual the Astros would win the postseason. I amended that in late June predicting the Astros would catch the stanks by the 2nd week of August. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I want to see Yuli, every time the inning ends with the ball in his glove, run by the mound and spike the ball. It won't bounce like the old concrete and carpet did but it will warm my heart none the less.

I was in and out of consciousness last night, since I am on the east coast this 8:30 start time is for the birds.

I was following along after the 8th inning though, I did watch the whole 8th and celebration. Jesus am I dragging at work today. Thankfully it's an easy day with no meetings. This feeling never gets old y'all. I wasn't nervous about losing to the Yankees, i was more worried about if we lost how INSUFFERABLE their fans and the media would have been.

Like I have said before on this thread, do not take this golden era of Astros baseball for granted. Enjoy every win and every moment.

In the expanded playoffs, only the '99 Jankees and '05 White Sox have gone 11-1 in the postseason (both losses came in the Cas)

I think this sweep could result in the dismantling of the this Yankees team.

Boone I think gets the axe.
Not sure about how much clout Cashman has but he could be gone as well.
I don't think they resign Judge. I think he walks not because they don't pursue him but I think he decides he wants to play elsewhere.

This series showed everyone in the organization they're not as close as they thought and they have quite a few holes that need to be addressed.

Cashman needs to fired based on principle alone.

This team was an absolute train wreck for the from June on.

Yes he brought up 2017 but the final point and comparison he made to the Patriots is dead on. It's doesn't mean squat the Houston F'ing Astros are a damn dynasty
Absolutely. At the same time, we only have 1 ring to show for it. We're playing yet another white hot NL East team that somehow feels like they have damn destiny thing going. Come out and punch them in the throat on Friday.

Its time to nut the **** up and put them in the ground. We make fun of the Dodgers for only winning one in the shortened season while being so good the last 5-6 years. We're kinda in the same boat. We have to win this one. 6 straight ALCSs in a row is great. 4 WS in 6 years is incredible. Its a travesty to only win one of them. We must finish this *****

Semi-serious question--exactly how much money would that cost, in total? That's a long thread to unwind before they get to that end result.

I know they have a stud SS prospect but I wonder if they kick the tires on CC and ask him to play 3B?

Either way they've got a lot of holes to fill in all aspects offense, starters and BP.

Third team to start 7-0

No 11-0 sweeps in Wild Card Era
The only team to go undefeated in the post-season since divisional play started in 1969 is the 1976 Cincinnati Reds.

Swept the Phillies 3-0 in the LCS, swept the Yankees 4-0 in the WC.
Had 5 regulars bat at least .306 on the season (Morgan, Rose, Foster, Geronimo, Griffey) and 3 future Hall of Famers (Morgan, Perez, Bench).
Managed by Sparky Anderson

Trailed in all 3 games of the LCS. In the third game were down 3-0 after 6-1/2, 5-4 after 7-1/2, and 6-4 going to the bottom of the ninth. Tied it on back to back jacks by Foster and Bench and won it on a walk-off single by Griffey.

Never trailed the Yankees in the WS until the fourth game (sound familiar) when New York got a 1 run in the bottom of the first. Reds scored 3 in the top of the 4th and cruised to a 7-2 win in Nueva York.
