Re: Astros
Meh, who cares.
One team in that series is universally despised, and the other team in that series is universally despised.
GO PHILLIES !!!!

On paper, it should be a slaughter for the Astros. Nola, the Phillies star pitcher, has been pretty good though. So has Wheeler, who the Mets let go.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 7:04 pm Hope it's a good series. Stros are just dominating now.

Re: Astros
Word around the league is that the cheating Astros are using vibrating anal beads to let their batters know what pitch is coming.

Re: Astros
Swept both series and just used their 4th starter (McCallaster) last night. Swept the first series with Altuve 0'fer. Second with Alvarez quite. The whole roster is just loaded and without one weakness anywhere. But, that's why they actually play the games. As a lifetime Astros fan, believe me the heartbreaks, conniption fits, collapses are part of our entire DNA.FSchmertz wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 9:14 pmOn paper, it should be a slaughter for the Astros.

Re: Astros
It's been impressive seeing the Astros tanking for half a decade paying off in this manner. It was surprising that they chose to let Springer and Correa go.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 9:56 pmSwept both series and just used their 4th starter (McCallaster) last night.

This feels like the Indians and Braves run through the 1990s.

Re: Astros
wouldn't you have to go back to the 1970's to find more than a 10 year stretch that the Astros didn't make the playoff's?

Re: Astros
If by "making the playoffs" you mean maybe one home game before they start getting ready for the next year, that would be every year from the early 80's until about 7 years ago.

Re: Astros
I'll tell you what's a real travesty. Have a team like the San Diego Chargers whose fans have supported the team through good to really bad for decades just to have the team shoved over to LA because the NFL swears there is a fan base there and then watch that team never even get a home game because of the lame home attendance.saltydog wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 11:16 pmUh Seattle and San Diego fans would like a wordCentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 10:31 pmOh yeah, the old get the fans excited in 80:1, 86, 99, 06 only to look at gutting the team and rebuilding.
