YANKEE TEARS!!!!

[Alien Octopus 499]

Took this last night from the Balcony. Bring me the Yankees pretty please….

[Macklemore 2871]

I need Helobious’ tears tapped into my veins

[utxmike05 1825]

What a damn series. Seriously could have gone either way in those games. Fuck. But it's still a sweep mfers!

[TonyTexas 10481]

At this point, I’d rather play the Yankees in the ALCS. Their bullpen is really bad. 

[runthebone 7931]

After all of the suffering growing up, I don't take any of these series wins for granted.  Awesome, and winning in 18 makes it memorable for my kids.

Dusty is the best celebration manager of all time.  He gets right in there with the rest of them.

God damnit, cleaning crew left the lights on in my office AGAIN.

Doubleheader playoff game, still had 2 starting pitchers to go.  No big deal.

[UDontKnow 10439]

With a game like today, I'm not worried about the Astros having too much time off. 

As it has been stated a priori, the Astros gutted these wins out when at times it felt like they had no business winning the game. They fucked around and pulled a sweep - the only team in the among the divisional series teams to do so.

Also, Jeremy is the Astros SS for the future. He's filling in quite nicely for the departed.

Life is good.

how much red ass will altuve and JV have on Wednesday ?

[TonyTexas 10481]

LMFAO

Like getting hit in the balls.  Twice.  Billy Hatcher, though.

Fucks, this team does

Also the only higher seed that won or is leading their series.

After Washington 2019, I don't wish for any opponent.  We get whomever we get.  Hope the bats find enough offense for 8 more wins.

Yep. Whatever team that makes it this far will be an epic pain in the ass.

The Astros have their best pitching staff ever.  So bring it.

[Mez2 4020]

Neris is gonna need 3 days off for his hangover 

[tx 3 putt 76296]

it's only 8:42 in seattle

[Storm the Field 5271]

Holy shit, I met a buddy at a bar well before first pitch to watch the game. We joked about hoping it wouldn't be a 4 hour affair.  7 1/2 hours passed from when I arrived to getting home. 

Anyways, Garcia earned a spot on the Astros Post-Season Rushmore. Up there with 24 straight curveballs LMJ. That said, we fully emptied the bullpen tonight and every single one of those boys did their job, inning after inning after inning after inning after inning.

God I love this team. With that in mind, incredibly happy not to have an Astros game to watch tomorrow.

Amazing the confidence we have now in Luis for the rest of the playoffs.. what a performance

Dusty Baker: "Someone reminded me that's the second time we've done that, right?"

"Yeah, Chris Burke."

Baker: "Yeah. They show it on the board all the time. So they're going to be showing this forever. It's a wonderful thing."

Urquidy wasn't even used so fake news

[dr99 551]

Good thing Maton punched his locker or he would have taken the loss tonight

[Storm the Field 5271]

The "bullpen" threw 12 IP scoreless, striking out 15!

LMJ and the bullpen was used to perfection !

[Guadaloopy 10917]

After rolling from that Horns game almost directly into this game, I had to switch over from beer around the 15th inning.  Too much sports stress today.

[Guadaloopy 10917]

LOL… Announcers pimping the stat that the Padres bullpen had 13 scoreless innings in their first 3 games this series.  Astros bullpen had 12 TODAY.

Thing is nobody did any thing spectacular pitching wise. LMJ went 6 on 88 pitches. Garcia went 5 on about 70 pitches. They are starters no big deal. Hunter Brown went 2 innings but he’s been groomed for that. Then the other 5 relievers each pitched 1 inning. If we’d needed to we still could have probably squeezed another coupe innings out of Garcia, 6 for Urquidy and 6 for Javier on normal rest. Think about that- we just played a game that went 18 innings and we had another 10 or 12 innings, easily in the tank, that wouldn’t even have been asking anyone to do anything outside their comfort zone or on short rest. 
That’s mind boggling if You think about it. 

This is where my head was.

almost a “thank you” to the mariners offense for the perfect workout day. 
couldn’t have drawn it up much better for the pitching staff.

Everyone got work in and gets 3 days off except Urquidy who is the blowout guy anyway.

And the offense was shit but everyone got 8 ABs of real ahole puckering  chances to figure out timing and all the shit they lost with the long break. Sure it didn’t show today but I fully expect the offense to look a lot better when this kicks back up mid week

[tx 3 putt 76296]

Urquidy and Javier are going on a long break 

[runthebone 7931]

Just looking around at the other games, really appreciating our bullpen...
