We can all thank Wade Miley for this shit.

Bleeding stopped.  Here we go.

Alright. We knew they would score some runs. Let’s go score more.

Houston fan in me is thinking they are going down in 5 games to the rays.

 The PTSD from so many years never completly goes away, does it?

There are still 8 innings left in game 4 and people in this thread are giving up on the season...

Some people just aren't cut out for baseball.  They still like to post though.

Nope. Learned over 40+ years not to get hopes up.

[Jshep34 2308]

Love to see a memorial day comeback

It’s mind-bottling.  It’s like they haven’t watched this team over the past three years.

Or how about twice in Game 5 when they came back from three run deficits.   

[TonyTexas 10512]

We’re going to win this series. The problem is that it will screw up the rotation for the ALCS

2017 wiped it all away for me. That will last for years.

So you want them to score 5 more runs?

Cole will still start 2 games and Verlander will still start 2 games.  How screwed up can it be?

I still haven’t recovered from Mets 1986 series.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

Right now is the high point in this series for the Rays.

We said screw it this weekend and bought tickets through stubhub.  It was more expensive, but at least we got good seats for 4 of us.

What else did you do for "the four of us"?

It’s all just colorful history now.  We have a banner.

Just checking in from work to say fuck.

This camera angle sucks and this stadium sucks

This was my fear with the Rays from the beginning and why I wanted the A’s instead

Maybe, but I think Cole is less likely to implode in a do or die game 5 than higher home run risk rested JV.  So the gamble may still pay off for the series.

Feels like the 2017 playoffs, with ups and down and the outcome never assured until late WS game 7.

Good point. I think I’d rather have Cole than JV too in a must win game.

Do you pull him hoping he can still possibly pitch maybe 1 relief inning (only if needed) on Thursday if Astros lose tonight.

Or.... Do you hang in there with him, maybe all he gives up is at most another run or 2, chews up 5+ innings tonight and saves rest of Astro arms?

1980 Phillies series before that. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Our offense has sucked shit through a straw since game 1. No clutch hitting at all.

[At Ease 44]

So many poor at bats.

[kevwun 15788]

1 inning isn't worth much when you aren't sure how good that 1 will be because his routine is all screwed up now.

[YChang 3444]

Come on bats.

[tx 3 putt 76956]

Thank god Tampa is pulling this guy !!!!!!!!!

All because that bastard ump robbed Knepper of that strikeout in the 9th of game 6.  And illegally let Wally Backman run out of the baseline to avoid Glenn Davis's tag in game 3 in New York.

But I'm not bitter or anything....

[Honeysucklerose 989]

Man, they are feeling it

[Mo Horn 8840]

Baseball gods just fucking with us

[Planet Houston 4930]

Goddammit. Can’t even rip ‘em right. 

[perfectchaos007 6641]

thats unfortunate

[WBT 20571]

Well, shit that wasn't ideal.  BABIP hasn't been kind through 1.5.

[At Ease 44]

A good swing by Reddick at least.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Really hope JV gets it together in the second. Needs to be on a very short leash. 

[tx 3 putt 76956]

Fuck that was a rocket

He’s a prime block candidate.

My man.

[WBT 20571]

That one pitch out was nice.

[WBT 20571]

Methinks the dipshit doth protest too much about this missing the ball on purpose story.

[Honeysucklerose 989]

We could put 1986 Mike Scott out there and if we don’t hit the friggin ball, it won’t matter

[perfectchaos007 6641]

If JV starts getting squeezed by the ump we are really done

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Can't catch a fucking break
