Do we think Diaz starts tomorrow at catcher with Urquidy on the mound?

Will Brantley be back?

Lineup of death with Chas in the game too?

Naw, it'll never happen.

Honest question. What would you actually be willing to pay monthly/yearly to posses a channel that shows Astros and rockets games as well as their PR coverage and maybe a few other random things?
considering it is 2 sports plus pre/post game? $15-20 a month seems right to me


You were the first to reply so I'll quote yours.

But personally I watch no pre and only post when it's playoffs celebrations. I also watch zero Rockets games.

$20 a month is asinine to me but I think it would probably have to be that or more to ever function…and probably more.

I just do not believe that a majority of folks would be willing to pay that. ESPN is $10 a month already. How much do you watch other "television"? college/pro football how do you do so? Do you have a spouse what do they watch?

not Netflix/apple/prime etc

One ****ing game from a seventh straight ALCS appearance.

Southern Oklahoma is jacking off about making one.

Take care of business tomorrow and then, it's on.

Was lurking on the Rangers thread and they apparently refer to us as "western Louisiana "

I love it

And some pundits (really, me) thought the AL W might go 0-Fer as recently as the last week of the regular season.

This was in a comment of an earlier Twitter post on position player CWPA, but for pitchers...look at Pressly!! (and Verlander) Also noticed that Alvarez now has more postseason homers than Barry Bonds.
Shouldn't the Pujols homer (which hasn't landed yet by the way, disqualify Lidge from this list?

Even Dusty isn't b**** enough to complain using the batter's eye in Minute Maid as an excuse for why we lost game 2.

Hey Twinkies, it's YOUR HOME BALLPARK!!! Also we had to fight the shadows too and didn't have any issues putting up a 9 spot. Plus you had a home plate ump that was gifting you balls all day as well as a foul tip that was conveniently missed that loaded the bases for you, and you got NOTHING!

Spoiler alert for around 10:30pm tonight...it was the cold that affected their hitters.

Tucker has been fairly quiet in this series, but that could change tonight. They'll be super careful with Yordan, and Abreu has given them a lot to think about. He could be the beneficiary in a big way.

Also interesting he'd divulge that info then because at that time our game time wasn't changed yet and shadows would there and probably worse than it was yesterday.

If I'm a manager I'm not letting you know the shadows bothered us even if they did.

Agreed. A chance to show the country that baseball in Texas is where it's at now. Screw the Bostons and New Yorks.

Pretty sure it was dripping with sarcasm.

The way the manager said it like that though reeks of loser mentality.

We need to win today. Anything can happen in the final
Game of a series. Lopez is nasty. I don't want to burn JV before the CS.

With a day off tomorrow and good enough length for our starters so far, we can empty the tank. If the combo of Urquidy & France can get us 12-15 outs then we have Pressly, Abreu, Neris, Stanek, Maton to get you the other 12-15 outs.

We faced Joe Ryan earlier in the year and won 5-1. We had Julks in LF and Salazar at C.

Let's finish them today. Want no part of a game 5......

We certainly want to win today, but I'm just glad we are on the right side of the 2-1 coin. We may need both to get it done. Not ideal to play 5, but I sure like having 18 innings. Also, the Rangers series being 7 games makes me feel good. Their bullpen can cave at any moment.

At the same time, their bats are HOT right now so we need to respect that they've earned the right to play in ALCS and may not be the same team we swept at home earlier in the year.

I see the ALCS going 6 games, maybe 7, but what is CRUCIAL is we get the first two at home. If we split 1-1 I am afraid of the momentum the Rangers may have going back to Globe life.

Remember early in the season (well a good chunk of it) and anytime Montero would enter a game and that sinking feeling you got in your stomach, and of course everything turned to s***. That's what ranger fans feel like anytime ANY of their relievers come into a game.
