It would still be nice if Chicago came back to win this one. Even if they win the series, forcing HOU to play a game 5 would be ideal.
Really killing them this inning....3 out of 4 runners have reached but no runs have scored and there's 2 outs. Way different than a run already in, 2 on and 1 out.
This Chi-Hou game has been a boring letdown so far but one fun thing is the Chicago radio crew talking about their game and the other two going on today while mentioning “the winner of this series gets the Red Sox, who already clinched a spot in the ALCS.”
It's LaRusa with all those stupid pitching changes. Using guys for a single batter and whatnot. If they just required the pitcher to face 3 batters, that would really speed things up.
I'm so damn sick of the Astros.
Looks like we'll be playing yet another team that I hate. First two worked out well.

Thanks for participating Chicago. I look forward to hearing all of your dysfunctional issues get leaked over the winter.
I’ll drink to that!"... we'll be playing ..." being the important part of the sentence
White flag time. Any September call ups that they want to get in the game to give them a taste of the playoff experience?
This is tedious. There is no way he thinks that’s intentional, but he loves performative managing.
I seem to remember the consensus of the MLBN crew on the trade deadline special being that the White Sox may have paid a high price for Kimbrel, but now they have the best bullpen in baseball.
I hope not. Unless it's a cheap and short contract. He's a very good player who likely will want a mega contract. I don't think he's worth one of them.
I guess I totally forgot this is 5 in a row. Just fucking impressive.
Sidenote: Tony LaRussa looks like he's falling asleep answering questions.
Act like you've been there before? Five straight years getting to this point makes it old hat for them.
Can't wait for this to be used to criticize the Red Sox for celebrating last night. By Boston-based mediots, of course.
I always felt that way when the Yankees would go nuts after the WC Game or ALDS that it was just ridiculous, especially if it wasn't a pressure filled game/series. Now I'd kill to have the opportunity to criticize how they spray too much champagne.
If they weren’t playing the Sox I’d probably be rooting for this Astros team. They just go about their business like all those Patriots teams did. They know the rest of the country hates them, and they embrace the villain role.
I think the Astros were subdued on the field out of respect for the White Sox. They're having fun and spraying champagne in the clubhouse now.
I'd root for anyone but the Yankees, even the Rays, against the Astros.
For Bregman alone.
It's funny. I hate the Astros except for their manager. I enjoy the White Sox except for their manager. Wish the two teams could switch managers...and places.
It was also a10-1 game on the road from a team expected to win its division and compete for a title. Comparing that response to the energy surrounding a walkoff win at home against a decisive favorite/division rival is foolish.
