the edge correa should have on an adam everett type, is that he has the ability (somewhere down deep) but is like a wounded animal.  if some reliever thinks he's gonna go quietly, and gets lazy with him, he can certainly make you pay.

like roy hobbs in the maternity ward:

"you could get into the game.  you could wreck it, with an unexpected blow."

"well that would be the beauty of it."

 

This is too good.  It's like you're in the movie business or something.

May be another typical Verlander outing where the offense gives no fucks about scoring runs.

[Guadaloopy 10960]

George is getting upset

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Correa lives!

[henrygandorf 29189]

[WBT 20561]

The Astros are back?

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Correa is back !!!!!!!

[henrygandorf 29189]

what an odd play.  f joseph for that shit.

[runthebone 7968]

Correa and Springer homering = 11-0 postseason.  

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Ugh... this was easing the sting of the Horns second half.  Sucks for Verlander.  

[WBT 20561]

damnit I want the franchise record wins today

[UTexasFight 9431]

And I see fucking joe smith is cementing his spot at home in October

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Joe Smith is on the roster.  Book it. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Welcome back Carlos.

[WBT 20561]

Showrrea!!

Great to see him driving the ball the other way.

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Hell yes.  That’s the real Correa.  

[Guadaloopy 10960]

That was the swing that won ALCS game 2.  Well... that and Gary Sanchez’ inability to catch.  

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Write up that $500mil contract !!!!!!!!

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Close this one out !!!!!

[cabowabo 4484]

Throw strikes fuck face.

[cabowabo 4484]

Rondon is trash.

[WBT 20561]

Come on J.D., turn three.  That was tailor made

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck me 

[cabowabo 4484]

Franchise win record bitches.

[WBT 20561]

102!!  Ties the franchise record

[Guadaloopy 10960]

A lot of good signs in this game.  

[elfenix 34230]

Astros win!

[cabowabo 4484]

Franchise win record bitches.

Tied. Sorry.

[henrygandorf 29189]

102 bitches.

let's go ahead and sweep this bitch.

[tx 3 putt 76905]

Keep racking up W’s !!!!!!!

[runthebone 7968]

Might as well win

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck yeah, Straw!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Mr. Straw announcing his presence with authority.  

[WBT 20561]

Anybody get a sprint speed after that HR?

[UTexasFight 9431]

Anybody get a sprint speed after that HR?

Haha
Just saw the box score and was thinking the same thing

Slower than Nimmo.  

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Can’t really blame that on Lance.   You expect McCann to smother that.  

[Guadaloopy 10960]

That’s exactly what you want to see from Lance in that situation.  He looks great.  96 on the gun and sharp with the curve.  It’s been a good day.

Do we really need to see any more from Devo this season?

He has completely lost his command.   Love the dude, but he needs to stay home this October, work it out in the offseason and come back with a statement next spring. 

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Jake from Rake Farm!

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Dude in the Rainbow Gut suit has been living his best life for the past couple of weeks.

Dude sitting with them has a longhorns cap on! Reppin’ in Baltimore!

[elfenix 34230]

Astros win!

A new team record! 103!

[RoundRobin 828]

1-0-3. Pretty good. 

[Wishbone 4759]

Congrats Astros! Best regular season record in franchise history! 103 - 59. Going for 104 tomorrow. No reason to give a shit about tomorrow though. Looking primed for the playoffs after a great September. Well done!

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Congrats, boys!  Check another one off the “to do” list.  

Seriously... today could not have gone any better.   Win twice while not wearing anyone out in a double header. Get the season wins record.  Get solid performances from Correa and McCullers.

Well done, AJ. Well done.
