We salute your insights, which instantiated truths we knew were there. In a way that was unignornable.Oh, now everyone gets it. Where have you all been? It's been very fucking lonely living with this burden the last week.
.Torres might be better than them all. He will be up next year. They have money to throw at SP. It’s like a runaway train. Too bad it’s not like a flight on autopilot.
It was me. Flog away.Who was it that said we shouldn’t overreact when it was 2-1 Astros series lead and a 0-0 score in Game 4?
That person needs to be flogged.
Cashman has done a terrific job, they took our blueprint and crushed it. This is the new Yankee dynasty.Credit to Cashman and their scouting too. They recognized the problem trying to outspend and the addressed it.
It's well established that Cubs fans are fucking idiots.What? They should be cheered for pissing down their leg and choking away a series lead?
The Astros offense this series is Red Sox level bad.
For fucks Sake. Cubs fans are booing their team.
No skill. Just willingness to say what nobody else was prepared to confront.We salute your insights, which instantiated truths we knew were there. In a way that was unignornable.
And unlike Cassandra, your prophecies have been heard.

The old expression holds: the triumph of hope over experience (or the hope of triumph?)No skill. Just willingness to say what nobody else was prepared to confront.
Indians GM Phil Seghi gave Gabe Paul both Nettles and Chambliss, so add him to your list.Do the White Sox get a share of the trophy considering how they just gave the MFY three key pieces to the puzzle? It’s like Gabe Paul giving Steinbrenner Chambliss and Nettles. Fuck you Gabe Paul you prick.
Maybe the Astros will win the next two!The old expression holds: the triumph of hope over experience (or the hope of triumph?)
BTW: I am betting on Verlander. But forget about game 7
Yep I don´t get it, almost always the Sox are abused on trades, while the MFY are the abusers; umps always favor them and networks (because of rating, in an era were rating is so diluted), always want the yanks. The same happens with the Cowboys, I'm fed up and want to vomit everytime I hear Buck and Aikman tell us how good the Cowboys are. And by the way, Jerry Jones is the most despicable person, way worse than any other owner as has been demonstrated lately.Do the White Sox get a share of the trophy considering how they just gave the MFY three key pieces to the puzzle? It’s like Gabe Paul giving Steinbrenner Chambliss and Nettles. Fuck you Gabe Paul you prick.
And maybe cubs win the next 4..Maybe the Astros will win the next two!
I think Gabe Paul had incriminating pictures of Phil Seghi somewhere. My God how I loathed those ‘70s MFY. I mean irrational, blind rage.Indians GM Phil Seghi gave Gabe Paul both Nettles and Chambliss, so add him to your list.
Ill fortune.Through nearly five full games, the Astros have a BABIP of .182. How is that even possible?
The Astors haven’t been this welcome in New York since the 1890s.Through nearly five full games, the Astros have a BABIP of .182. How is that even possible?
Somehow Fox News is behind this. I just know it.Good Christ the media is about to shove this Yankee team down our throats until we gag. What we’ve experienced with Judge this summer will be tiddlywinks compared to what’s about to happen.
Gack.

This past winter they gave Chapman the largest contract for a closer in history. They still have a bloated payroll with underperforming vets (Ellsbury) they just got super lucky their young talent developed overnight.Credit to Cashman and their scouting too. They recognized the problem trying to outspend and the addressed it.
No no no ... no jumping in the lifeboat at this point for youMaybe the Astros will win the next two!
Sadly, they may be getting a lot more days off soon.Headley can go fuck off. another nobody who manages to be a pain at the worst times.
I think the best thing for the Astros is they get a day off tomorrow.
You know full well that I’m always in panic modeIt was BigSoxFan
Ells is their last Albatross. He seems to be their line in the sand. They handled Chapman well. They traded him for assets then got him rightback, recognizing that bullpen is where you spend when you have a 90 win team.This past winter they gave Chapman the largest contract for a closer in history.

Oh yes. Rivers, Nettles, Munson, Chambliss, White, Figueroa, Gossage, Randolph, the whole scurvy bunch. Just blind, irrational loathing. May they be eternally raped by Satan’s thorny phallus.
It's like I don't even know you any more, man.Maybe the Astros will win the next two!
Gee - I just hoped their team plane would fly into the side of a mountain.Oh yes. Rivers, Nettles, Munson, Chambliss, White, Figueroa, Gossage, Randolph, the whole scurvy bunch. Just blind, irrational loathing. May they be eternally raped by Satan’s thorny phaulas.
This just sucks. Maybe winning will make them complacent.No no no ... no jumping in the lifeboat at this point for you
There's a better chance that their team plane will fly into the side of a mountain.This just sucks. Maybe winning will make them complacent.
I like to zig when the others zag?It's like I don't even know you any more, man.
Well, their captain tried.Gee - I just hoped their team plane would fly into the side of a mountain.
You were MUCH younger then.I was having a really nice birthday until this game went to hell in a handbasket. In 2004, Big Papi won two games on my birthday. That was better.
A for Effort.This is a resourceful, tough minded team. Beating Cleveland then Houston after falling into 0-2 holes would be a jarring accomplishment.
In hindsight, it's a bit surprising they didn't hunt us down for the AL East title. Fister's late season win in the Toilet was the key game. We're it not for that, they might have caught us.
Of course, that is a minor prize compared to a WS appearance.
Ultimately, this may be good for the RS. The bar is now pretty high. They have to try to reach it.
