I took 100 High School Freshmen to game 3 of the Angles series and survived the experience... had a great view right into the Astros dugout for the ignoring of Altuve.... funny stuff....


Tonight it's just me and Natalie for the opener v the A's.... Keuchal vs. Manaea


Having 7,000 people in there was cool for various reasons, but 30,000+ every game is badass
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 don't recall the last time Dallas got his **** rocked like that. I think it's an aberration. Who knows.

One of those homeruns was fluky, but yeah, it was a sucky game pitching and batting wise. On to tomorrow. Go 'Stros.

This is a good offensive team... last night Houston smoked 5 or 6 balls that ended up outs.... A's hit three first row homers and had several bleeders get through....


offensive funk or regression to the mean?

I haven't seen a laser show like that since Moonraker.

Agreed. Morton was straight up FILTHY tonight. Same goes for Giles. If Giles has finally found his stride as a closer again, watch out. Go 'Stros!

disappointing.... the guy has great stuff.... at some point he has got to figure out how to use it....



but if you don't score, you aren't going to win.

I'm a little surprised we out hit them going into the 9th with nothing to show. That's just how baseball go sometimes

Exactly. This team could go scoreless for 22 straight innings, and people would still hold Ken Giles primarily accountable.

Yeah, kinda sucks getting blanked at home on national TV. Just one game, but would have liked a better look.

On to the next one, go 'Stros!

I will say this, Its easier for me to take a L to a good team, which the Yanks are. If this had happend against the Rays or Royals etc, Id really be embarrassed.

That's on Harris, not Brad.

The Yanks just seem to have his number, he **** the bed in the ALCS in NYC too.

True, they have. And they do have cool unis (Not as cool as our tequila sunset ones haha) Though when the announcers say their names on tv, it always sounds like "D-bags".

"The Astros are playing the D-bags tonight..."

Me: "We're playing the Rangers?...oh wait, just Arizona."

Go 'Stros!
