I may need to switch to something stronger

[runthebone 7,982]

Fuck.  Let's get something back here.

[FondrenRoad 4,378]

Need to get at least one back here.

Probably game over, but need to get Lance out of there now in order to have a chance. 

Yeah this team doesn't have a track record of coming back from a 3-0 deficit or anything

[tx 3 putt 76,957]

He done

Wut?

[Guest]

we're back to everything easy for the Rays and anything besides breathing is a chore for H-town.

 

It'll change, and Los Putos de Tampa will be fucked.

[Honeysucklerose 989]

Lance is waaaaay too emotional

Wish he could rub just a bit of that off on Morton right about now.

[billfromlaketravis 11,478]

What’s the back story on Morton wanting to get the f*** out of Houston? He’s on a very club friendly deal in Tampa. Surely the ‘Stros could have matched.

I'm already on Lagavulin #2.

We're running into postseason Charlie Morton. I wish he was still on our side.  

[elfenix 34,240]

Back to hitting right at the fucking spider monkeys

ask the fuckers who were fired in the off-season

[Mo Horn 8,840]

This is going swimmingly

[tx 3 putt 76,957]

3 yr v 2 yr deals

He loved it here. It was the Astros decision. And it was a mistake.

As I recall Morton was going to retire. It may be that the only club that he would play for was Tampa.

If I recall, he's from Florida, and wanted to be closer to family. 

[runthebone 7,982]

Is Lance crying?

Why did we even keep this guy around after 2017. Yes it’s early. But this is bs in a game 7. You are the vet pitcher on the team. Strikeout or homerun. Flip a coin.

If Luhnow hadn't lowballed Morton we almost surely would have won last year and would already be in this year's WS.

Though  I can't really bitch about it, since at the time I was sad but agreed with Luhnow's logic.

Dammit.

[elfenix 34,240]

That's just the way things are going to go tonight I guess

I saw something about how Morton’s wife hated Houston. I mean I live here, and it’s not for everybody. Tampa has some nice beaches, but their ballpark might be the worst in the history of baseball. Doesn’t feel like a baseball decision. 

[runthebone 7,982]

Ominous

[Honeysucklerose 989]

They have the magic right now

[Gourmand 7,774]

so i see we're back to the game 3 bullshit breaks again 

[Lat22 4,014]

We’re going to get taken behind the woodshed.

[Mo Horn 8,840]

It appears the baseball gods decided to let us think we had s chance, only to snatch it away in game 7

[Dnaguy 11,964]

Curve balls / offspead to that fucker. ALL DAY.

He should never see a fast ball in his life again.

Why is that so fucking hard for these guys to understand?

[clapclapclap 9,000]

It ain't over

[elfenix 34,240]

 
Or 
 

Rye not?

[tx 3 putt 76,957]

Out

[TonyTexas 10,512]

Out

[WBT 20,571]

out

[Gourmand 7,774]

he looked safe at first i hope it stands as an out 

[Limp Brisket 546]

We’ll get all those calls, MLB wants a rematch.

[Mo Horn 8,840]

Damn, they may need to sit Altuve. Probably should have DH'd him tonight.

Right call.

Damn that was a great hob by the up

Between that, being afraid to even throw on the double play opportunity before that, and a bad throw to first, 3 almost errors now. 

[Dnaguy 11,964]

Every time I see Maldonado set up in the bottom of the zone against Choi, my heart skips a beat.

If he gets a fastball down there he’s going to crank it.

[At Ease 44]

Let's barrel some balls this inning.

[UTexasFight 9,444]

We’re due for a solo HR 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Just need Cash to panic and pull Morton before he goes 7 or 8.  At the moment baseball poetry would have us rally to win from being down 3-0 in this game.  I'm kinda feeling it.

This. Morton dealing.

[Guest]

Charlie definitely needed the help at that moment.

 

rolleyes.

[Dnaguy 11,964]

Morton doesn’t need the help ump.

Fuck you.

He’s giving him everything close to / around the outside corner.
