I've read quite a few internet comments showing disapproval for the Astros "excessive celebration" last night.

I don't think that those people realize that is pretty much what they do after every game! :lol:

So stupid. Besides the fact that, as you said, they basically do that after every game, this franchise hasn't won a postseason game/series in a decade, and all of these young guys are getting to experience it for the first time. How dare they have fun with it!

I know it's only one postseason game and not an entire series, but doesn't every team celebrate like crazy after winning, whether it be a single WC game or a 7 game series?

Not to mention the fact that they went into Yankee Stadium and shut down the mighty Yankees with their massive payroll and all their experience and history. I'd probably party like a lunatic after that as well if I was in their shoes.

Hell, I was having a blast just watching the live stream of them celebrating. It just seems like such a silly thing to be upset over.

So, is Sunday's home game really only going to be on MLB Network? Are you kidding me?

That is some serious BS.

Seriously though the Texans play tonight but I kinda don't care. As far as I'm concerned Texans season is over even if they win. Cougar football and they got me excited. And the crème de la crème postseason baseball. So happy that these young guns did what they did. Can be a force to be reckon with for a decade. Gots me feeling like

Get to the store and do what you gotta do, they scored a run against us and now the rain is coming down hard.

Quickly man! Get the largest steak you can find and throw it on the grill before it's too late!

:D

Nice recovery by McHugh after the leadoff HR.

Booooooooooo rain delay.
