I didn't want to put it on wax earlier, but I will now.

This team can make it back to the World Series.

I won't predict another title just yet, but we should be disappointed with anything less than an ALCS.

There.
Astros, Red Sox, Yankees, Mariners. Two of those will be in the ALCS, and I like the Astros chances.
Remember that week earlier this month when people looked at the Mariners as a threat to the Astros?

Fun times.

LOL I saw that. I guess he's thinking that he'll be getting a fat contract next season.

Barring some kind of change in his game, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go. I know he was one of the ones who helped get us back to the show and I'm ever grateful for what's he's done. Is he worth now what he was in 2016?

This team is equal parts awesome as ****ing embarrassing. Getting beat by the worst team since we were the worst team just pisses me the **** off. Maybe tomorrow we will be able to hit the ball to literally any spot on the field we're a person isn't standing.

Agreed. Wasted a gem by Keuchel. Bats need to get real real fast tomorrow. Go 'Stros!

I have now been to two Friday Night Fireworks this year.... a 1 hit shutout 1-0 loss to Texas and a 2 hit shutout 1-0 loss to KC....

I think I'm done with Friday Night Fireworks...

3 double plays with runners in scoring position.... and what in the actual **** was Gattis doing? MY 57 year old out of shape ass could have been safe at third on that ground ball by Kent in the 6th.... From now on if he gets on as the lead runner, in a close game, 6th inning or later, AJ has to pinch run for him.

That's not his first base running gaffe...Mariners turned a triple play on his ass remember?

Not sweating one game, but I was slightly intoxicated and that just made me mad. I'll be there tonight.

It was probably more to due to our seats, we sat about 6 rows back from Reddick, right in the middle. Sardines.

Friday night when they opened the roof for the fireworks, it felt like the temperature dropped 20 degrees....

besides.... sweat + runs equals a better time at the ball park than marginally less sweat and no runs.....

I know what you mean. I still remember a flight on a 727 from San Francisco to Bush with no AC and wedged by that curving wall/ceiling.

I'm real excited to see how this plays out in the long run. Hired Lunhow, took him a minute to get us to respectability, WS champs, and now it seems we're on pace to compete for another one and looks like we are set up pretty well for the future. Attendance is way up, payroll is close to top 10 (I think), and it looks like we're gonna be able to keep several key players.

I guess what I'm saying is I hope we can stay good for a long time.

Not too cool, but Grichuks homer was 471 feet...longest ever hit at the box since statcast.

Well that was unfortunate, even Verlander looked human. Time to bounce back tonight with a 8-2 or something like that. Go 'Stros!!!!

Is he the guy who collided with Altuve in the outfield when he was with the Astros?

He could have played in the games that Marisnick, Fisher (well he's in the minors now), and Kemp started. Reddick missed several games, so Teoscar would have had some run.
