[At Ease 44]

Fuck I hope tmw is the last game we have to watch an ump call balls and strikes.

and in the process, cement his candidacy as the Cy Young winner.

Facepalm

The Cy Young winner was sealed on Oct 1.

Nats earned it but FUCK this terrible ass ump. How is this the best you have?

Cole will throw a pitch tomorrow night. 

Astros have Greinke, Urquidy, Cole, and the whole bullpen tomorrow.   Plenty of arms to put together a gem.  

Nats have a less than 100% Scherzer, Corbin, Sanchez, and a bunch of other guys the Astros have touched up.  
 

Anything can happen, but I like the Astros’ chances.

So you're saying that Scherzer faked his symptoms?

I think so. I'm assuming Cole can't go tomorrow. So they pulled a fast one. They could probably guess that Verlander wasn't going to be a problem in Game 6.

I’ll welcome a close game after the turd we laid tonight. 

[At Ease 44]

Gonna be tough. I doubt Scherzer is too far off his game.

But will make the WS title all the sweeter.

Fuckin A. Can't wait till they take these motherfuckers out of the scoring.

[Telegraph_it 3357]

We have it tomorrow. Guys got squeezed by the ump with RISP and still hit hard balls that couldn’t find a spot. As we saw with games 3, 4, and 5 that shit can’t last. We take it tomorrow.

So they threw a game so they would intentionally have to play 2 elimination games?  They beat Cole the first time they played.  No way they fake sit Scherzer.

[Telegraph_it 3357]

Also, fuck Martinez. Guy is a disgrace. Act like a man. It’s okay to get heated but to have it go on that long. Dude is mentally weak. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Save us Zack Greinke. You're our only hope.

It’s setting up for the perfect narrative. Last minute trade deal and he wins us the World Series. 

[Hate 20108]

This game was lost when Altuve couldn’t make contact with runners on third and second. It’s ridiculous that they cannot score at home after the first inning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before in my 40+ years of watching baseball.

Would kind of like it if the bats didn't just lay down and die whenever we get down a run or two.  The only time they answer is in the first inning.  After that, forget it.

[TexArcher 37774]

So fucking pissed off.  The national media tried to make us a bunch of bad guys because one loudmouthed little dipshit said something questionable.  And Buck and Smoltz with this anti-Astros shit that started in the Yankees series and hasn't stopped, talking about how a 7-1 win was closer than it looked and going on and on about one bad strike call while in the same god damned inning we got one, too, and tonight with this interference call that anyone who ever played Little League knows is correct.

Fuck all of this bullshit.  The Astros deserve to be the story.  Make them swallow their pride and compliment the World Champions tomorrow night, whether they like it or not.

Buncha fucking bitchasses.

Agreed. That would have changed dynamic of the game. I doubt we see Devo at all if we score at least one run there. 

[oh_snap 694]

We have Zack MuthaFuckin Greinke going for us tomorrow. The last time Luhnow brought over a cy young winner mid season, we won the series. 
We are going to fucking dominate tomorrow.

Not being down three runs.

Already share spring training facilities might as well swap stadiums next year.

So after scoring at least one run in an alternate universe you are also still making the conclusion that the Astros gave up 3 runs in the seventh. Just seems like a stupid game of what ifs. 

[Telegraph_it 3357]

It does suck to see Verlander struggle on this stage and also get no continued run support. The value of good starting pitching was showcased yet again.

I kept expecting him to squeeze a run in. In retrospect, even with two strikes maybe he should have tried. Strasburg was dealing.

I made no conclusion. Not advancing the RISP with guys on third and second seems to have doomed the game. Who knows what would have transpired. Ideally if we tie or take the lead there we don’t allow Devo to blow it.

It ain’t Tapa.  The whole board has been shit the last few weeks with tons of double posts and it takes five minutes for a post to save.

He didn’t have his command. It took way too many pitches to get out of innings so there was no realistic way he was going 7 plus. 
 

I’m not talking about his Cy Young worthy season.

I just wish our bats wouldn’t shit the bed every fucking home game in this series.  Three home games and only the first one was even close.  Washington has owned us like some punk ass bitches at MMP.

Should open the roof tomorrow.
