Can we get some fucking orange jerseys tonight?

[Alvin89 108]

Watson is scratched for the "Play Ball."   Alright, Alright, Alright, we got the best replacement. Astros by a million now.

Game hasn't even started yet and I've threw up twice, got excited with the feeling we will win, out of nowhere I cried and threw my files at a colleague thinking if the bats go cold and Grienke chokes. FUCK. how did we get through 2017? I don't remember being this anxiety filled.

Ask your husband to rub your pussy for you to relieve some of the anxiety.

[Planet Houston 4930]

If anyone is nervous about tonight, I challenge you to watch this video.  This makes me feel better than anything - Zack is gonna be spitting fire tonight.

What the hell am I supposed to do for four-hours-and-thirty-six more minutes?

Need to be aggressive. Reddick should have been sent on Springers double. 

Soto had the ball in hand and was wheeling around to throw when Reddick was still 3 to 5 strides from third-base.  Only a terrible relay would have saved him.  Besides, with Altuve coming up Pettis was wagering that Reddick was going to score anyway.

Can't they also review hit by pitches to see if the ball brushes a jersey?  I swear I have seen that.  If so, catcher's interference when the bat hits the freaking glove should have been reviewable.

They can be reviewed.  But, Altuve was brushed on the jersey in DC and it was clear as day on the replay.  He didn't raise a stink, it wasn't reviewed, and he popped out.

Yeah, we are seeing the effects of the response to the Taubman incident and JV banning the Detroit reporter from the club house. 

Well also seemingly half of all national sports journalists live in the DC area and virtually none live in Houston.

HA! Joke is on you because I don't even have a husband so I guess i'll just rub on it by myself.

They can probably get an inning if they need it.

Jim Wolf behind the plate

 

Known to have a pitcher’s strike zone.

Hopefully that disproportionately helps Zack

 

He’s also one of those guys that likes to call check swing strikes on his own

 

 

Oh by the way, note the HP ump for this game some of you may remember:

 

 

Check swings can be called strikes if you break the plane?

Yep. The rule is clear. We live in an idiocracy.

No shit the entire “the rule is dumb” is fine but it’s still the rule. Hell I think going 75 on the freeway is to slow but I’ll get a ticket if I go too fast according to a cop and I’m sure he will like the “well I think it’s dumb”. The rule is pretty clear.

This.

Fuck. I’m right handed and I was always taught to run on the outside of the line and to turn to the right after you run through the bag. 

You learn that shit at friggin’ 7 years old. All this bitching boggles my mind.

I guess most people haven’t played or simply don’t watch it enough to care about the rules.

Just knocked out my pregame grilled cheese and tomato soup. Let’s do this !

Congrats on the pregnancy my guy

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

Greinke starts and goes until there's a slight sign of trouble and then Cole pitches. Greinke, Cole, Harris, Osuna.  Not going to think about extra innings.

All hands on deck !!!!!!!!  

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Some of y'all are expecting an awful lot from Cole tonight on short rest. Unless Greinke shits the bed early, I'd be fine with running out Smith, Harris, and Osuna to get the last 9-12 outs. 

[elguapo 4586]

Urquidy should be available for at least a couple batters.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

We are going to win. I don't know exactly how it will go down or who will be the hero, but we. are. going. to. win.

Bags and Biggio throwing to McHugh and McCullers

Big scratch. Suzuki blocked a shitload of balls in the dirt in game 1.

I just learned my non-sports loving sister, who doesn't even understand baseball is going to Game 7.

For Free.

 

I'm stuck at a work Halloween thing, handing out candy, dressed as a god damned hot dog and she is going to Game 7.

Not sure what you do for a living, but you need to stop. Immediately. As in resign right now. No notice, just leave and never come back.

My younger son’s baseball game and older son’s practice canceled tonight. 
 

Time to light a fire, pour some bourbon and watch uninterrupted .
