So Langston was only mostly dead.  

[runthebone 7929]

Mm, that was smoked.

[runthebone 7929]

Shit, Cole, let it go

[Fudge Nuggets 19118]

Straw on dope today?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Did Greinke teach Cole that?

[kingkoopa6 8305]

[elfenix 34168]

indian summer of george!

[runthebone 7929]

Come on, Altuve!

[runthebone 7929]

That's disappointing

[elfenix 34168]

professional hitter.

[WBT 20397]

Run up that run differential!

[David Dennison 18608]

Ugh.

Do not like hearing what his parents are saying.

 

[elfenix 34168]

The Angels are definitely the favorite in the Cole sweepstakes.

 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Not encouraging, but not unexpected.  

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

What did they say?

 

[Mo Horn 8795]

JFC Cole is nasty

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Too bad Cole and Verlander can’t be co-Cy Young winners 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Getting teary watching that highlight from Baltimore.  RIP Correa.

They were telling Julia how much he loved watching the Angels growing up and sitting in those seats and how special it was in that stadium.

 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Let’s just buy his parents a mansion in Houston. Well worth the expense. 

[WBT 20397]

Wow, I can't believe he didn't ring him up on that

[TonyTexas 10478]

That should do it for Cole. Good outing, great season. Now go get a ring!

[Ichabod 184]

Historic

[runthebone 7929]

We take it for granted, but other teams must look at the Astros and say "holy shit."

[elfenix 34168]

trying to decapitate aj

[clapclapclap 9000]

SOB just threw his bat at Marisnick!

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Hinch didn't seem too phased by that bat flying towards him

[Limp Brisket 546]

Hinch should’ve launched that can of Firm Grip out there.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

TV crew is speaking truth right now.  It’s against all probability that we will ever see a better Astros regular season than this.  Savor it folks.  

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Another first for this Astros team:

was too big for anything but uploading to youtube.

may do the homers too.  kinda feeling lazy.

[TonyTexas 10478]

While the stats show the ALCY should be close, I think JV wins in a runaway with at least 75% of the 1st place votes. Voters need to reward Verlander after two 2nd place and a 5th place finish in the previous 3 years. They’ll figure Cole will have more future opportunities than Justin.

Whoever wins is deserving

JV has the no-hitter kicker as well.  It’s his.  But It’s no shock to see it go either way.  

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Save situation coming for Osuna

[Mo Horn 8795]

They better not fuck around where Cole doesn't get the win

AJ’s done messing around.  Back end of the BP going to bring it home.  

[UTexasFight 9369]

Yes that’s Amy

Brendan Crawford’s sister

[UTexasFight 9369]

Too bad Cole and Verlander can’t be co-Cy Young winners 

Except they can.

The weighted voting process makes the possibility so minute as to not even be considered.  

[perfectchaos007 6593]

Lol that sun really did a number on Goodwin

[UTexasFight 9369]

The weighted voting process makes the possibility so minute as to not even be considered.  

Sure, in years where there are more than 2 guys that you could argue should be 1st or 2nd

This year there are two guys that are 1 and 1a.... and then a huge gap before #3.
Agreed it’ll be extremely unlikely but it’ll be a joke if anyone other than JV and Cole are 1 or 2 on any of the ballots. And then you just need 15 guys to put JV 1 and 15 to put Cole at 1

Again, sure it’ll be difficult for it to hit like that but if it’s ever going to happen, this is the year.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Thank goodness that looked like meat and not bone.  

[Mo Horn 8795]

That was not a swing

Someone will submit a joke of a ballot with Minor in second place.  200 Ks! Sabermetrics!

[perfectchaos007 6593]

No Osuna for the save situation?
