OT - How 'bout them Astros? 

Post#1 » by Lazy Faizy » Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:57 pm

Any baseball fans here? Even if you're not a big baseball fan you have to be proud of the Astros. They're up 2-0 against the Yankees right now. We might actually make it to the World Series this year.

Made it before, not good enough this time. Only one thing left to do!

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Astros haven't hit well all series, but I think they are due to beat up Sonny Gray tomorrow. Maybe Carlos Beltraitor will show up and swing for once.

And start Keuchel in Game 4 please.

McCullers pitching like a boss. Baiting with all those curveballs.

This is also one of the best base-running teams I have seen in my life.

McCullers pulled out of the game way too early.

I can't watch. It shakes my nerves and it rattles my brain. Postseason Astros baseball drives me insane.

Please win.

Go Astros.

They were up 4-0 going into the 7th? Now it's tied?

Reminds me of 2015 vs KC. Not cool.

Took out McCullers way too soon. Bullpen having a rough night.

I blame the existence of this thread, damnit. We were doing just fine keeping it all low key and hush hush in the Astros forum that nobody knows exists!

Evil!

Okay maybe not...but now we really need Dallas and Verlander to save us. Lots of baseball still left in this series, didn't expect it to be easy!

Acceptable, the court will allow it.

Keuchel and Velander. Need those guys to go beast mode. Looking forward to watching those guys pitch.
