I guess it’s still a good thing to be pissed off right now at only 1-1

Cole had a rough night. A few things didn't go right (ball riding the padding, Marwin not making the catch crashing into the wall, Maldanado letting 2 passed balls go by and a wild pitch he should have kept in front, Kemp looked like he had one come within inches of hitting pesky pole, etc.) and it still came down to the wire. Bregman almost tied it up if hits it with a 43-degree angle and not a 45-degree one.

We took home-field advantage away and have a nice pitching advantage with Dallas in game 3.

Have you heard any update on sale? He’s in the hospital right now I think with something wrong with his stomach?

We are now down to a five game series with three of them at home, if they do not have sale, things look even better for us

They’re talking about Red Sox pitchers with pine tar on left forearm all morning on the radio.

Well that would definitely help them get a lot of extra spin

Looked like a shiny substance on an arm that Porcello kept going to.

Not really an astros fan (braves) but I'm a Red Sox hater.

Please win again.

Then after that go Brewers.

I think we need to burn Osuna at the stake to repent from our sins. Last year we had the hurricane unity “Houston Strong” mojo. This year we’re win at all costs even if it means bringing in questionable people.

I think there is more to the story. I doubt we were using a guy in a suit standing next to the dugout to steal signs.

I think everyone is doing it. I think the brewers changed signs mid inning with no one on baseball.

What dick justice said this morning was that the Astros were filming Red Sox to see how they were getting their signs. The As & Indians complained too.

3-1 is the most dangerous series lead in baseball. Astros in 7.

I will literally send you a bottle of bourbon if it happens

Unless you have an alcohol problem then I’ll think of something else

I’m still beyond pissed off that Altuve was called out. There’s just no way you can assume a catch there. Such bullshite. Worst case, he should have been standing on 2nd. If Boston wins it, it’ll come with an *

This series should be 2-2. So pissed we aren’t beating these jokers. Pitching has let us down at crucial times, way too many two out runs.
