    Yes, I could see that.... or they could just win games 4 and 5 with their aces (if there's a rainout) and finish the series.

    Chances are its already been decided, regardless of the rainout tomorrow. The starters have their routines and they'll try to keep them on it as much as possible. If Verlander is already preparing for a game 6 start on Saturday, they may just stick with that.

    Time to hate everything. You're the greatest of the straight-up "blah blah the Astros are over", you started that about a dozen games ago.

    According to the CBS sports analysis, the rain would help the Astros a little bit more, which is a good news. Either ways, the Astros have a better chance to win the series after 2-1 lead.

    Mean while on the Yankees board. “What happened to our offense” So goes baseball.

    Nice win. You have to relish the wins. Esprit the postseason. Should be a fun rest of the series

    At least I talk baseball. At least i make predictions and post my opinions. You do nothing but attack posters. It’s so tiring.

    Which is very natural on a fan site. Probably the most natural thing you will see on a fan message board.

    My bad, I just saw this.

    This may be the straight-up dumbest thing you've ever said...

    You can say lots of things about me, but the whole "do you ever talk baseball" is pretty ****ing comical.

    I like this; assuming the rain-out happens, I would prefer to get the inevitable "bullpen game" out the way while in Yankee Stadium for Game 4; then take it from there...

    If we were to win and go up 3-1, I would take my chances with Greinke, and have JV and Cole respectively for 6 and 7 at home (if needed)
    If tied 2-2, go with JV (who would be on normal rest) to try to go up 3-2 and only needing 1 at home to win the AL Pennant.

    But I want to be greedy just like the Red Sox last year (even though that was at our expense) and just finish the damn thing in Yankee Stadium and have Cole ready for the World Series.

    Sure, it's natural.

    I've seen Patriot fans call for Bill Belichick's head after a loss.

    It's natural but it still looks silly, especially as this team has already proven that it can go the distance and win a championship, so counting them out after one game was just an overreaction.

    Again, it’s the most natural thing you will see on a fan message board. Honestly, I have never understood why it irks certain people. I find some of those posts hilarious. Pissed when we lose, happy when we win. It’s the natural order of things.

    Do not understand your post, I am one who was mad for someone who posted the negative stuffs. I posted that the game 1 lost was bad, but it was not the end of world, if we are going win the game 2, everything will be fine. Just go back to check all my posts if you like to do.

    He talks very little baseball for the amount of posts he makes. Mostly just pretentious hacks at other posters. He never leaves clutchfans though, you’re right.

    My post wasn't directed at you but in general how people acted like we were just swept after losing that game.

    Yes, I find those posts funny now and silly, that's what I'm saying. Sure, it's natural, it still looks silly, especially when the team people are doubting is a team that's won it recently.

    Now Yankee fans are acting like the series is over but at least with them this is pretty familiar territory for this team. This particular Yankee team blew their road split last season against the Red Sox and the season before that blew their 3-2 lead against the Stros, so at least for them it's familiar territory.

    For the Astros, all they have done is battle back when their backs are against the walls. They lost to the Red Sox, sure, but those guys went on to win a championship themselves.

    You are both wrong and stupid. The first is fact, the second is opinion. Buck talks baseball non stop. Please stop messing up this joyous period between an Astros win and the next game.
