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

If Meyers is actually starting today I may drop 2 bills on him hitting a homer.  I am guessing on the site I use he will be like +800 

Supposed to start in CF.  Him hitting a HR off Castillo seems.......optimistic

+800 doesn't seem like very good odds to me. He has been so shitty this year I'd think his true odds were something like 1 in 20 to hit a HR in any particular game, but I don't know shit about fuck with that kind of bet.

Well i don't have a hard on for Dusty like most here. He makes the right move waaaay more than he makes the wrong one since he had been Astros mgr but haters gonna hate

Yordan doesn't have to prove shit to anybody, he's already been an ALCS MVP and hit a Lidgian walkoff in a huge moment, but wouldn't it be fuckin awesome if he went ballistic like Beltran in '04? That was the most insane hot streak I've ever seen from a hitter in the postseason.

Great article on the Goat, Jeff Luhnow:

Miss that dude and wish him all the best.  I'll always be a fan.  But he was the man in charge, and that is who has to take the fall - even if it was all MLB kabuki..

Tell Rob Manfred to suck it by giving him the finger and bring the GOAT back to the H.

He was suspended for one year, he has been gone for three. Bring him back, hire Espada before anyone can steal him away, and make the Death Stros fully operational.

I agree, but I’d like to see him in left if that’s the case. Hate to lose his versatility by making him DH.

I guess the Stros agree with the general sentiment (aka the numbers fully support) Yordan being a better hitter when playing LF rather than DH. Certainly with our home park dimensions. I’d give that up over using his versatility to get him in the lineup for 4 ABs.

I can see that side as well…my only counterpoint would be this brings Dubon into play for Dusty, and I’m really not a fan of that.

Damn they need to move the game time 

I very selfishly want it to stay where it is.  I'm a WFH guy, so it's easy to keep a window open with the game.  Plus, it's my anniversary, and I can take my wife out to dinner without getting in trouble for checking the score every 5 minutes.

Your mistake (getting married in October) shouldn’t result in the rest of us getting punished

I'm going to have to say this again...

Do y'all remember 6 months ago? Do you remember April?

The Mariners beat the Astros in Seattle a couple of times...  badly. 

SurlyMonkeys started flinging poo against the glass...  

"OmG, DuStY cAnT eVn Fi11 oUt a LiNEup CarD!"

"ThIs tEAm NEVER hiTs for VeRLAnder!!!!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHhhhh, I want my Mommy...."

SnacksInSlacks: Chill, Honey Bunny.

Surly: NO MOTHAFUCKER, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! WE'RE TWO WEEKS IN AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!

Slacks: These dudes are going to run away with the AL.  Chill. There was no preseason.

SURLY: GOTDAAMIT!!!! PRESEASON DOESNT MATTER! ONLY DUSTY! KILL HIM!

October 11: "Yaaaaaaaaaaay!"

and with your crushed spirit.

That’s a pretty long winded way to say “we are going to win”

I was active duty at the time, so we didn't have a very large window of opportunity where I had leave between duty stations.  It worked out fine, because she is an OU grad and our anniversary always falls within a week or so of TX/OU weekend, which is fun.  It also happens to be the Navy's Birthday, so for years we had a built in fancy event where we could celebrate.

One of the biggest fights we ever had was during our first anniversary actually being together (missed the first two because of deployments) when I "went to the bathroom" during dinner and popped into the restaurant bar to check on game 1 of the 2004 NLCS.

that's cool but in the interest of accuracy he didn't actually catch that ball, the seat behind him caught it.

eh, he didn't make money off it, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

there was a whole thing on twitter on tuesday where guys were texting their wives/gf "hey, i'm skipping the football game tonight so we can watch one of our shows!"

then people posted screenshots.  a few were like, "oh, that's so sweet, let's try that netflix period piece blah blah".  a lot of them were like, "there is no football on tuesday night you mother fucker".  then some of them were like, "no no, covid pushed some games around, it's crazy!"  which really didn't work either.  it was all pretty amusing.
