  1. personified by Astros assistant GM Brandon Taubman, who had no baseball background. “He was a fantasy league expert,” one other team executive said. During September 2018, another club executive scouting for the postseason said, “I sat in front of him and for an entire game he talked to a guy next to him about how awful A.J. Hinch managed That is funny. A fantasy league “expert” critiquing a Major League manager’s moves. Kind of like I was doing last night.
  2. No offense intended, with all due respect, but this is just an uninformed post. Seriously, “one of the best performances in World Series history “? Don Larson’s perfect game is the gold standard, and Strasburg’s performance might not make the top 50. I’m too tired to look it up
  3. Either this is sarcasm, or you are monumentally stupid. I’m thinking monumentally stupid.
  4. We old guys have got to release the demons of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s. These current Astros are nothing like what came before. They will not let us down and break our hearts like happened in the past. 2017 World Series trophy out front shoulda told ya
  5. They should have brought in VY with a simple message.
  6. Some of you people have no perspective. We lost 7-0 to the Yankees in game 1. How did that turn out? Is it optimal? No. Is it overcome able? If that is even a word. Yes. Its like you people never went through the 2017 ALCS where we lost 3 in a row and our backs were against the wall. It was simply one game in a 7 game series.
  7. Bregman, Gurriel, and Correa. I like our chances.
  8. Yes. Pinch hit for Machete
  9. I’m not dreading it
  10. Time for Bregman to get out of his funk
  11. Quoting myself, but that’s a good start
  12. Top of the order has to produce right now to get us back into it
  13. For fuck’s sake. This game is far from over. Get ahold of yourselves.
  14. In the hard copy of the Chronicle this morning, 7 Chronicle sports reporters made their World Series picks. Only one picked the Nats. Hunter Atkins’ pick? Nats in 6
  15. Ha ha. Your brother was right. We went to the 8th with a 5-2 lead, Nolan Ryan on the mound. Perfect scenario to make it to the World Series you would think. Except it all went to shit from that point. I’ve often wondered if the history of the Astros might have been more glorious if they’d beaten the Phillies that night 40 years ago. Phillies won the World Series that year. It would have been a championship only 18 years into their existence as opposed to the first one coming 55 years in.
  16. Yeah, me too. Perfectly put. I’m just glad I lived to see the day that the Astros are the big swinging dicks of baseball. Of course, we may well not win this World Series, but after the decades of fandom when we virtually had no chance to play in one, this is awesome. I still have nightmares about Game 5 of the NLCS in 1980, though.
  17. Just checking in to say that I wish the Astros would have had as good of a year as the Rangers did. Maybe next year.
  18. And my liver took a big hit too. Woooooooooo
