Doolittle in the 9th. Got to tie it in the 8th or C ya.

baseball is the cruelest sport.

maybe an omen but Rockets beat Washington 159-158, Harden with 59 points. Rox had 48 in Q4.

AJ wants Cole to finish it. His master plan. Does he want U65?

7 road wins will never be topped. If it happens. Often i miss the dome with the 340-390-406-390-340. A pitchers best friend.

left too many RISP, just way too much.

Rendon went to Lamar and Rice? How old is Soto again?

Rendon just lost a lot of money

wtf keep Greinke in.

that woman 2 rows behind Ms. Ryan

2 Beer Guy would be a good band name

i wouldn't mind him as a pinch-runner.

who is doing the first pitch?

history of Astros mascots -- while we wait for the game History Chester Charge, 1977 In April of 1977 the Houston Astros introduced their very first mascot, Chester Charge. At that time there was only one other mascot in major league baseball, which was the San Diego Chicken. Chester Charge was a 45 pound costume of a cartoon Texas cavalry soldier on a horse. Chester appeared on the field at the beginning of each home game, during the seventh inning stretch and then ran around the bases at the conclusion of each win. At the blast of a bugle, the scoreboard would light up and the audience would yell, “Charge!” The first Chester Charge was played by Steve Ross who was then an 18-year-old Senior High School student. The creation of Chester Charge and the (incredible for its day) scoreboard graphics were created by Ed Henderson. [2] Following a visit to then the AAA-Astros affiliate, the Tucson Toros in 1989, former team marketing Vice President Ted Haracz sought to bring the Toros' mascot, Tuffy to Houston to serve as the teams mascot.[3] Although Tuffy was not promoted from Tucson, Hal Katzman, who performed as Tuffy was invited by the team to serve as Orbit for the 1990 season. The development of a team mascot for the 1990 season was viewed by the team as an important piece in its community outreach programs, specifically with children.[3] Both the naming and design of the mascot were established from suggestion from local, Houston-area schoolchildren. The design for Orbit was derived from more than 10,000 children's drawings submitted to the Astros, with the final design being a composite of the various drawings submitted.[3] The first public appearance of Orbit occurred in January 1990 at Heflin Elementary School.[3] One of the more notable incidents involving Orbit occurred when umpire Gary Darling ejected the mascot from the game for arguing balls and strikes.[4] In addition to his role as the Astros' mascot, Orbit made a one-time appearance as "Marty the Mariner Martian" during a "Turn Ahead the Clock" promotion at a 1998 Seattle Mariners game.[5] Orbit was replaced with Junction Jack beginning in the 2000 season, with the team's move from the Astrodome to then Enron Field.[6]

I see Doolittle as maybe even their 2nd best pitcher on a per pitch basis. He's very sharp. That Sherzer injury was a blessing in disguise, because his G5 would have been wasted vs. Cole.

Nats have a lot of short guys in the dugout to hug

if the Stros lose the series, it's Game 1 - killer ace at home and he froze. Game 7 is redemption for Game 1 - do or die.

Stassburg saved their bullpen. One of the most highly touted prospects in the last 20 years and proving his worth. Good thing Sherzer is hittable. Stros will score 4+ tomorrow which should be good enough.
