This postseason has become more sentimental for me and my wife's family.  My father in law is the biggest Astros fan I know.  He watches every game without fail, even DVRing them if he can't watch liv

Neris has better WAR, WHIP, K/9, BB/9, FIP, xFIP, while their HR/9 and xERA are very close. Dusty has overused Neris in the 1st half, a lot of it having to do with Pressly's early season injuries. Just because it was good to see Pressly hitting 95, doesn't mean I want him as a closer.

Neris' percentage of appearances are pretty much the same as last season

My first sports heartbreak came in 1986. Fuck the Mets forever. 

Same. I was 9. ‘86 was such a great season and that was such a fun Astros team.

I hated the Mets too. But I actually liked Strawberry - he was just awesome to watch and holy shit did he have HOF talent (he was on a clear HOF track before the years of addiction caught up to him).

And I hated Gary Carter, but then he got cancer and died pretty young, and turns out he wasn’t a bad guy. And I hated Keith Hernandez, but then a few years later he was on some damn good Seinfeld episodes, so I kinda started liking him. So my hatred for the Mets took a big hit.

But Lenny Dykstra - fuck that guy now and forever.

86 was my first baseball heartbreak but the Astros did it to me. 
I was 8 living in the Bay Area. Was a big Giants fan from before I could remember and they’d always sucked. 86 was the best giants team of my lifetime and the Astros ended them, and did it with a no hitter and that damn cheating Mike Scott with his black and decker out on the mound.

If you can believe it, 1980 was a bigger heartbreak for Astros fans old enough to recall it clearly. And I was. The 1986 loss to the Mets was a tiny bit easier to take. Now, had it gone seven games and Scott somehow lost, it would be on par with the home collapse six years prior. 

But hey, enough ancient history. Let's limp in here and kick their collective tails.

watched on tv with my family, remember jumping around just like scott on that last out

My mother worked for Dresser Industries (merged with Halliburton in the late 90s) and her division had corporate club seats in the Dome for years. I went to many Astros games back then because most of those sales nerds didn't give a shit about the Stros but they all knew that Ruth in HR had a son who was a diehard Astros fan so they were cool with having me around while they got drunk. Mike Scott flirted with a no-no multiple times that year and that month, and it seemed like it was only a question of when and not if he'd get one that season. I got out of school that day (10th grade year at Lamar HS) and was surprised to see my mom come home really early from work (if the internet had existed, I surely would've been watching some porn) and say "hey, I got Stros tickets, let's goooo" and we booked it from our house in Montrose over to the Dome. It was a day game start and by the time we got to our seats it was the third inning and the first thing I remember looking at on the scoreboard what that zero under the Giants hit column. I kept my eye on it all game long because I knew there was a good chance he'd get it and the Astros would clinch.

What a fun game to attend, and the exuberance over the division championship was nuts. Today's young generation of Astros fans have no idea how lucky they are.

Nah… we’re the lucky ones.  We’ve seen every playoff run, JR, Nolan, Scott, Cheo, two homegrown career Astro HOF’ers, etc.  Plus we got the Dome.
