That's ballgame. I'll cya at spring training.
Yeah giving up 2 home runs really hurts. Especially since that walk was on 2 bad calls
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
Listened to over 150 games this year. 6 outs left.
it's tough to beat destiny.... Nats had about 50 weak contacts that ended up being hits while Houston kept hitting the ball hard right at them....
I don't know what the percentage of HRs on that pitch Will Smith threw Kendrick but it had to be single digits.... maybe less than 1.... and yet it happened
and as I type this, Correa gets rung up on a pitch 6 inches off the plate inside

Not a good night for the umpire.
Beat. By the Montreal Expos.

Not a good series for the umpires. I expect better from a Game 7 crew

Couldn't win one stinking game at home out of four tries this series. Unbelievable.
It's bad enough losing at home, but i hate to see the wheels fall off like this.
And we're losing Cole after this season, not sure how we build next year's rotation.
The struggle against Tampa Bay was a warning we had problems, and the Nationals were obviously paying attention. Not knocking the Astros, they played great all season but just ran into some bad luck, a better team and leaving men on base came back again to hurt us.

And they had the most home wins in the majors with 60. Ironic.

Get McCullers back. Whitley could be called up.
I am watching to the last play, but no way i am going to watch a D.C. team celebrate on our field.

Is it just me, or does the Fox crew sound like they bet money on the Nats?

The ruling class is getting drunk tonight!
It's their year, fellas.
An American League pennant is not a bad consolation prize.
Still wish the Astros were in the National League. Still difficult to have split allegiance.

Beating the Yankees is always a good thing.

We all probably witnessed something none of us will ever live to see again - a best of 7 championship series in a professional sport where the home team lost every single game.

Always
as much as this hurts, it shows why Baseball is such a great game....
everyone gets 27 outs... you can't run out the clock by taking a knee or going 4 corners.... you can hit it 112 miles an hour 408' to dead center and be out or off the end of the bat, 25' and be safe. You can make a perfect pitch and it gets spoiled, or a really good pitch that gets hit into the foul pole...
There's no escaping the vagaries of chance.

BTW the first game is 2/22/20 against Nats. That is a beautiful co-shared ball park. Astros in Home Stretch Geaux Texans
The avg ticket price for the Super Bowl is $7,000. You could get upper deck season tickets for that much.
Winning by cheating is just as impressive as winning fairly, probably even more so. Your opponent was better than you in every way, and you beat them with your brain.
I changed my mind. The Astros should keep Carlos.

Good for Carlos to finally stand up and fire back some. Bellinger needs to keep his mouth shut. Go 'Stros!!!!
This should be another exciting postseason run for Houston. A chance to reach 6 straight ALCSes, 4 World Series appearances, and 2 World Series Championships, all in a 6-season span. The Golden Age of Astros baseball has been incredible to experience as a fan. And thanks to the Dodgers giving us Yordan Alvarez, the Golden Age may just last a little longer.

Brantley out for the season, but the 'Stros are rolling! Pawpaw Dusty just needs to be a little better with roster cards and actually use the guys we traded for. Go 'Stros!!!!
Tonight is what I don't understand about baseball managers today.
A guy goes 7 2/3 innings, scatters 6 hits, has kept batters off balance all night, and is still throwing strikes. He gives up a single hit when you are up 2-0 with 2 outs in the 8th inning and you bring in a guy who proceeds to give up 3 hits, 2 walks and gets not a single out.
Why? It just screams overthinking to me. The worst that could've happened if they had left the starter in for another batter was that he gives up a HR and you're tied. But given how well he was still pitching, he probably gives up another hit or so but gets another out in the next couple batters and you go to the 9th up 1-2 runs.

Playoffs bump
I am not a huge MLB fan, but I think that Houston vs. Seattle playoff game today was the best finish to a game I have ever seen. WOW!!!
Bitcoin, $Trumpcoin, or $Fartcoin? That is the question.
You aren't kidding!!
Everything about this video is perfect.

The hit. The crowd. The police officer celebrating. Pettis with his arms in the air. Sad Mariners. Orbit with the flag. The Astros photog and video crew. The players going nuts. Dusty's hug. pic.twitter.com/qnLIdAn4sD
Hoping no rainout this evening. Go Stros
Apparently a lot at Baylor share your view as there is absolutely zero discussion of the Astros accomplishments last night, this season, etc.RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:
