Folks I have a disgusting admission, and I need some help. Fair warning.

Wednesday started like any other day; got up, took a shower, put on a new pair of underwear, etc. ….Astros win…

Thursday morning, I woke up extremely late, jumped out of the shower and grabbed the first pair of underwear I could find…accidentally grabbing the same pair I had worn the day before. Disgusting, I know, but don't act like it has never happened to you….Astros win….

I think you see where this is going

Today, thankfully, I wore fresh drawers like a normal member of civilization….until…. When the Bregman struck out in the 7th, I knew what I had to do. Yeah, you're got damn right I dug through the hamper and put those dirty boxers back on.

I STEPPED UP. The results speak for themselves.

Disgusting, I know. The only question now is what's the play? They are thankfully back in the hamper where they belong at the moment. I am torn between normal human hygiene expectations and the fierce superstition that is baseball fandom.

You have to commit now. Every time I haven't worn Astros gear, they've won. Including today.

Bryan Abreu said he told Adolis Garcia on the field “my bad” and that he didn’t hit him on purpose. He said Garcia told him, “Bullshit.”

When keeping it real goes wrong...

The problem is Garcia knows what he did pimping that HR. He can't think anything else.

What's ironic is Garcia pimped that home run like the roided up dip**** they accuse Yordan of being and this is the same team that WORSHIPPED Odor for cheap shot punching Bautista for....wait for it....pimping a home run.

Here's the thing...it's an unwritten rule that if you hit a walkoff home run you can pimp that all you want, like Yordan in game 1 against Seattle. You don't pimp it in the 6th inning or karma will bite you.

Kinda like A&M - UCLA and the pimp stick. We were just asking for it.

Who has home field if Astros and Phillies win?

Phillies

Seems like good news.

I've had a beverage tonight for every Altuve career postseason home run. Won't feel great tomorrow but that's okay. Love this team. Love you guys. Let's finish this ****ing series. Dammit I love this team.

Lost in all this was Ryan Pressly. 6 outs and the win. He came in no outs and 2 on after the idiocy and gave them nothing.

Dude has ice water running through his veins. He's a soul sucking mofo.

One of the toughest ways to win the day after a one pitch win. God I love baseball.

That's awesome.

Dusty was tossed bc he threw his hat?

Here's my take on Garcia and his antics

A) It wasn't intentional

B) IF it was be a man and take your base. You pimped it rightfully so but don't pimp it out and the act like a bltch if you get beaned.

That's what pisses me off about the bat flip generation. Everyone wants a to pimp a HR but no one wants to stand in there and take it.

I like the personality and the fire and the showboating but I don't like that these can't take it when someone fires back.

Cut the power to Minute Maid and ensure it will take a month to repair.

Hell of a play. I was worried about SS with Peña being taken out, but he came up big.

Fatbreu now has more postseason RBIs this year than Biggio did his entire career.

I don't think it was intentional but I guarantee he was pitching high and inside.

And Garcia came up in B8 looking for it. He knew what he did on the HR was he knew what the price was going to be. And he still acted the ass. He cost them the game.

worst thing about rangers being mad about Abreu, is literally the pitch after the 3 run blast he almost takes of doobies head and no one cares lol

Well at least a couple of Arlington fans behind the plate cheered it.

Did they forget that was NOT the first pitch Abreu threw to Garcia? He literally says "the first pitch."

It was the first pitch
