Still not trying to win. Awesome.

Playoffs start tonight.

LFG!

[Pablo 494]

No Diaz, unserious baseball lineup

[Horn80 6118]

Urgency!  
fuck you Dusty. At least he put our best 6 hitters at the top of the lineup. 

[David Dennison 18854]

It was a good run.

[UTexasFight 9431]

The unfortunate part is that if Yordan really did feel something in his elbow, the only thing we can get mad at Dusty about is Maldy over Diaz.

(which makes it all the more urgent to get Diaz in the lineup so we only have to hide Peña and Dubon…hiding fatass Maldy on top of that is just too much)

What's tragic is that I can't point to anyone in that lineup and feel he's absolutely going to have a big game tonight. Now, I realize that's sort of true with baseball games in general, but you'd like to think at least one of several great hitters could be counted in here at (some might say past) crunch time. 

[Scraps 13561]

This thread needs some rally Junction Jack

[David Dennison 18854]

Well that's just great.

If he’s available that means Dusty logic says one more day. 

[Honeysucklerose 987]

The comeback starts tonight. Let’s go.

@Beau Vinewhy the drooling emoji every time Hunter Brown is mentioned?

The hardest thing about this September is deciding whether to use the laughing or rage reaction to any given Astros post.

I’m going with laughing. It’s tragic comedy. Matter of fact, I had this exchange with @Wulaw Horn about a week ago:

Me: I’m embracing the comedic element of all this. Like, Shakespearean comedy, not real comedy.

Wulaw: Shakespeare sucks.

Plus, the two championships and four pennants make it all better, at least for me.

Whatever happens happens. 

[Rip76 4925]

Let’s fucking do this.

 

[Uncle Boobs 1248]

WTF is this camera work?

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

So- we are like 125 batting average with men in scoring position the last couple weeks. 
September has actually been our second best month by OPS and we are 8-13. No clutch hits (other than during that texas series. 

[Rip76 4925]

Great play.

Abreu is parking one in his first at bat.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

I guess att sportsnet didn’t figure on anyone watching this crap

Close enough.

[Dutchrudder 11137]

Holy shit, never seen that guy run that fast before!

[tx 3 putt 76907]

Abreu would have scored 

[Rip76 4925]

Bunt

[David Dennison 18854]

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Of freaking course, Peña you moron.
Nice work Doobie

[tx 3 putt 76907]

clutch city baby !!!!

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

Just so you know I’m using my tears from this inning as lubrication for my angry masterbation if we don’t score here. 

[Overlord 366]

What are we going to do with JP?

That's not acceptable.  

Thanks Jesus for Doobie

[tx 3 putt 76907]

Machete to the surly thread : Fuck You !!!!

I always use the Homer rep and I like Brown a lot.  I think he's going to be really damn good.  

 

[Rip76 4925]

Dusty is a wizard.

[tx 3 putt 76907]

Yeah, Dubon is exactly what you want in a 4/5th outfielder.  He's doing great in that role, but gets starts over other guys too often.
