Most consecutive in the AL since ‘71-75 A’s. F that Covid season 

[Planet Houston 4949]

I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.  

In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

So we're calling up the Space Cowboys for the final 4 reg season games?

They’re trying to clinch the PCL playoff championship tomorrow

won game 1 14-2 tonight 

[TejasPedro 1911]

Everyone has already penciled in the Dodgers vs. Yankees!

I guess there’s just one thing left to do……..

[Stros121 3]

Damn this feels so good. Great job Stros!

So...

If you were NOT a crying hoe in April, react with a ❤️.

If you WERE a crying hoe in April, react with a rage face.

Do not be hoes in April, my people.

 

[Murfdogg21 4547]

Are you a crying hoe if you thought Bagwell, Abreu, and Montero were buttfucking the team and we could have used another premium bat?

[BrazilHorn 6789]

Hell of a roller coaster season. Love clinching vs the mariners who got off to a hot start and talked some serious shit. 
 

Love seeing the rangers go back to wallowing in obscurity. 
 

LFG Astros. Rest up and make some fucking noise.

Let’s go tigers.

Royals have some payback coming for 2015

(plus I prefer no Skubal in a 3 game series)

 

[Chuckie Finster 22978]

Definitely thought we were cooked in April.  Don't know how I honestly feel about our chances, but we can undoubtedly be the best team in baseball for a month.

Man this crow taste great. I didn't think they had a chance before season started. To many unknowns (pitching depth, cf, 1b and manager). Glad I was wrong.

[Rip76 5009]

The season starts over.

LFG!!

[UTexasFight 9787]

We host the LCS even if the O’s have the better record as a WC, right?

Yeah.

it’s only the World Series where a wild card could get HFA over a division winner if the WC has a better record

Crane needs to apologize to both for being an asshole for firing them. That’s the first step in trying to rehire Luhnow. Crane should have let them serve their one year suspensions and have them come back. The Red Sox had no problem with bringing Cora back after his suspension.

It’s despicable how Luhnow was made the fall guy when he was the least culpable. The future of this team is bleak. I’m worried that Crane is morphing into Jerry Jones by surrounding himself with yes men and will never again achieve the success he had with Luhnow. I hope he sells the team.

Let's remember some posts.

no need for eating crow boys, this is a safe space to speak your mind 

we have a week to refocus and get ready for the wild card round 

[Hornsbay22 480]

Got a new lucky jersey.   What a W! Felt like playoffs the whole time, like you are just waiting for your heart to get ripped out.

Nothing beats the ride home listen to Sparky. 

Great season boys, let's roll into October and bring on the hate. 

[Rimbo 26852]

was wearing my 2022 WS Champs shirt today, and 2022 seemed like such a long time ago for some reason

[Scraps 13744]

After a hard look at our schedule I have come to the conclusion that they will go 99-63.  
Starting out the season fast with a 39-19 record through May.  

Nailed it

I’m happy we won the AL West. Our core players brought us back from the abyss. I hope we get hot and steal a WS title from teams that had better regular seasons than us like the Nationals did to us, which still stings 5 years later. This team deserves to have a 3rd WS title. I am still not a fan of Espada and Dana.

Still in a decent position to win the division even if we were to drop this one tonight and get swept tomorrow. Would need 1 win vs. CLE and 1 M loss or 2 wins vs. CLE. 

Nevermind!

I don’t feel great about the chances of winning it all but if any team has earned the benefit of the doubt or deserves the support on the journey to the WS, it is this one. It’s kinda fitting they will have to win 13 games this year instead of 11. Doing things the easy way just doesn’t fit them. I’m ready for tight games and long series every step of the way. November champagne is the sweetest.

I ride or die with my hometown and am a diehard fan of the Astros, Rockets and Texans. I will call them out when they deserve it, praise them when warranted, and burn with anger, hatred and bile if they are a joke like the Texans were during the Easterby era. I’ll always be around the Houston sports threads on this site as long as I’m alive and this site exists.

I was just thinking the same thing hearing the 10th inning show talking about this run and that World Series in particular

 

apparently LMJ was still alive then? (If you can call him that for game 3 )
