expect KC, rooting HOU

same

― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 8 October 2015 14:50 (ten years ago)

yep

No real preference. I like both teams, Houston's the better story, KC lost a close one last year. As a Jays fan, I'm not even sure which team I'd rather play.

no gomes, no glory

― mookieproof, Thursday, 8 October 2015 15:39 (ten years ago)

why the fuck is aj pierzynski in the booth for this game? hey fox bringing in the most hated dude in the game is probably not a great idea.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

can't believe ajp doesn't understand the "sabermetric stuff"

raun delay! who's yr fave alltime Astro?

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 October 2015 00:31 (ten years ago)

J.R. Richard, prolly.

― Exit, pursued by Yogi Berra (WilliamC), Friday, 9 October 2015 00:53 (ten years ago)

my answer too, tho Jose Cruz, Jim Wynn, Bill Doran also come to mind

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 October 2015 00:58 (ten years ago)

I liked that they had a first baseman who looked old enough to be everyone else's granddad.

― Exit, pursued by Yogi Berra (WilliamC), Friday, 9 October 2015 00:59 (ten years ago)

Bob Watson?

I was thinking Art Howe, but I think my memory is busted. Who am I thinking of? Some guy who looked older than his years because of baldness and played first base. Might not have been an Astro.

― Exit, pursued by Yogi Berra (WilliamC), Friday, 9 October 2015 01:13 (ten years ago)

Chris Young in for Ventura, hot takes aplenty

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 October 2015 01:15 (ten years ago)

Rasmus really is a chinless mutant

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 October 2015 01:24 (ten years ago)

@McCulloughStar
A couple years ago, Chris Young's right arm ached so badly he could not give his son a piggy-back ride. Now he is dominating in October.

@jorgearangure
@McCulloughStar 0 for your Passan like tweet

― Andy K, Friday, 9 October 2015 01:45 (ten years ago)

"dominating"

― johnny crunch, Friday, 9 October 2015 02:17 (ten years ago)

Rasmus bangs on!

BEAST

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 October 2015 20:40 (ten years ago)

Within couple years, we'll be laughing at the franchise that signed him this offseason to an obscene contract.

― Andy K, Friday, 9 October 2015 20:54 (ten years ago)

well, need more from Colby now

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 9 October 2015 22:11 (ten years ago)

weird that alcides escobar didn't go break carlos correa's leg there

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 17:19 (ten years ago)

Ventura just took care of the elbow, huh?

― Andy K, Monday, 12 October 2015 17:27 (ten years ago)

not enough

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 18:12 (ten years ago)

@mccoveychron
He should have gone one flap down around the bases.

otm

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 18:14 (ten years ago)

not too sure about that call/overturn, but even less sure about gore trying to steal third with two outs

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 19:40 (ten years ago)

u mad son

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 19:54 (ten years ago)

votes went in for ROY before the postseason started, but even without correa's success in this series he's gotta be the AL shoo-in right

― slothroprhymes, Monday, 12 October 2015 20:01 (ten years ago)

#stunned

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 20:17 (ten years ago)

great stuff

@mlbdailydish
The Royals win expectancy at one point was 1.6%. Lower than at any point in their 2014 Wild Card game.

― mookieproof, Monday, 12 October 2015 20:19 (ten years ago)

love what KC is doing here but I sure do feel bad for all those Houston fans who surely thought it was over after that Rasmus HR

The last time Houston got gut-punched like this, it went on the road and beat St. Louis in Game 6 of the 2005 NLCS. Do or die in KC on Wed.

Fifteen-year-old Georgie Springer took it the worst.

― Andy K, Monday, 12 October 2015 21:17 (ten years ago)

more baseball! more!

― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 15 October 2015 00:39 (ten years ago)

i am the lone Astros vote i think

― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 15 October 2015 00:40 (ten years ago)

voted w prediction (royals), rooting stros

― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 15 October 2015 01:02 (ten years ago)

Forgot to vote. Would have gone with rooting interest (Astros in five).

― Andy K, Thursday, 15 October 2015 01:16 (ten years ago)

The sound mix for all the postseason games has been so shitty. I know the networks want the crowd sounds near the red to keep Mr. Couch Potato excited, but if they're going to keep the booth people so low, they might as well turn them off entirely.

― Exit, pursued by Yogi Berra (WilliamC), Thursday, 15 October 2015 01:19 (ten years ago)

nice sub, hinch

― polyphonic, Thursday, 15 October 2015 01:43 (ten years ago)

Fiers hadn't pitched in two weeks.

― Andy K, Thursday, 15 October 2015 01:47 (ten years ago)

Great at-bats, guys.

― Andy K, Thursday, 15 October 2015 01:53 (ten years ago)

all those screaming Midwesterners. Frightening to the marrow.

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 15 October 2015 02:11 (ten years ago)

well it was a nice ride Astros

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 15 October 2015 02:42 (ten years ago)

Take him out?

― Andy K, Thursday, 15 October 2015 02:42 (ten years ago)

HR was preceded by only a couple screamers -- couldn't have seen it coming.

― Andy K, Thursday, 15 October 2015 02:46 (ten years ago)

ugh what a stupid collapse, go NL i guess

― qualx, Thursday, 15 October 2015 02:50 (ten years ago)
