Ugly win

[Gut Wagon 8083]

There will be some of those in every season. Games that should have been won but were lost. Games that should have been lost but were won. I'd sure rather we minimize both kinds by playing more consistently on offense...but for now, I'm just going to enjoy the fact we pulled it out.

thank fuck

[Lat22 4015]

Better when it works.

[TonyTexas 10518]

Bullpen: 6 IP, 1 hit, 0 BB.

[Rustic Horn 929]

Phew.

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

Just enhances Correa's trade value. #tearitdown #timetorebuild.

Jeez y'all are a gloomy bunch. I've been watching this team and suffering miserably for all but one of 40 years. Chill and enjoy.

No Giles

Bullpen did a hell of a job tonight 

[Fozzz 152]

Teoscar had another homer today.  That trade was a little questionable. 

[TexArcher 37988]

Now on pace for 106 wins.

Some of y'all gotta cheer up a little, man.

Yup. Definitely one that didn't work out.

Yeah, well, let’s see them do it in s 1 run game.

A 45 FV position player was a lot to gamble on a washed up starter when there was no pressing need to acquire a LH reliever.  With Devo and Harris, I’m fine with having a pen of all righties for the postseason. 

[DaysOff 7959]

Whole fucking division won today. Even Arlington. Weird.

GD. Find something else to bitch about. Liriano didn't do much, but he did help win a world series.

These guys don't deserve an #HTownPride, but here it is.

Angels are trying to be the outliers. Down 4-1 in the 9th to the Jays.

Randy Cesar, Hooks infielder, extended his hitting streak to 40 games tonight.

 

Longest in the 130 year history of the Texas League

[Fozzz 152]

Driving down to Corpus today to watch our future all stars Whitley and Alvarez.

Quick reminder... the Astros won the World Freaking Series last year.  Every move made last year contributed to that.  

Liriano had five appearances in the postseason and did his job in all of them (except for the L to Boston in which no one did their job).  He even got a key out in Game 7 as a lefty specialist.    

I have zero issues with any moves made to get this team to the promised land.  Frankly, neither should any Astro fan.  

[Mez2 4024]

Word, we won the mother fucking world series and that's all that mattered. 

[UTexasFight 9513]

This last page got me to thinking....

2017 World Series Champions Houston Astros




Fuck yeah

[UTPhil2006 3807]

You know who would have taken an ugly win yesterday?  The Red Sox and Yankees

[TonyTexas 10518]

Interesting

[WBT 20635]

Cole struggling with walks again early.  Him and Charlie have had bouts of wildness lately.

[Fudge Nuggets 19208]

He’s going to have 40 pitches this inning.

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Not sure why we are ignoring the runners. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19208]

Nice snag, Bregman.

[Mo Horn 8852]

Way too many pitches. He won't be around very long today.

He will make great trade bait.  Maybe we can get Liriano back.

[WBT 20635]

robbed

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Alex Gordon can go fuck himself. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19208]

That Alex Gordon is a pretty decent ball catcher. 

[tx 3 putt 77159]

Royals OF has robbed us of some runs this series 

[Scraps 13567]

Almonte is a dumbass lol

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Gotta have luck to be able to beat teams like this. 

[WBT 20635]

Enough with the lessons on keeping score.  Didn't they just do this schtick?

[Slacks 6823]

Professional hitter. Yuli Guriel.

They did it last year, but yeah they should put this in the dustbin. I especially don’t want to have to put up with Maddox and his dumbass haircut any more.

[Slacks 6823]

Is Hammel's slider that nasty?

[WBT 20635]

Lulz, bases loaded cather's interference

[Scraps 13567]

Thanks for the run

[Smax 3800]

springer needs to get out of his funk

[Mo Horn 8852]

Gift from the ump

[tx 3 putt 77159]

not sure if that was a ball
