    Greinke has been a little unfairly criticized. Coming out tomorrow, if necessary, and giving us some scoreless innings would be a great story.

    That has to be a WS record. 5 pitches for 3 outs for Strasburg, my god what a disaster at the plate...

    tend to agree...we need to push in 5,6,7 runs to pull it out tomorrow.2 RUNS is going to win very few games

    Astros have put it's fans through the ringer these past few years. :D

    It's fun tho. I'd rather be in this position, than losing 100 games a year ago thats for damn sure.:)

    I think everyone on this board will settle for a walk off grand slam here.

    Thanks Springer

    Urquidy too. He has been unphased by pressure thus far.

    Yep. Too many panicky at-bats. Several one pitch at-bats in crucial situations. Plus Correa is auto strikeout this evening.

    Yeah they only win when they homer. Relying on swinging for the fences has them living on the edge at this point.

    Yup. I think the important thing to remember is that over the last 3 years, The Astros have given more joy to their fan base than any other team in baseball.
