    Astros have to score first tomorrow. We play 1000 times better when that happens. Get the crowd in it.
    Greinke needs to pitch like a hall of famer for 4-5 innings and hand it off to the pen.

    Gotta make Scherzer throw a lot of pitches tomorrow. If we come out swinging at everything he throws then it will be tough to watch.

    I like Greinke on the mound for Game 7, though. I know his stuff isn't electric or anything, but he knows his way around hitters. And he competes.

    I blame Bill O'Brien. He should have loaned the Astros Deshaun Watson to start the game. Any good GM would have done it. He is terrible couldn't help the Astros make in game adjustments too. Fire Him!

    OH, wait....

    Altuve’s games on base streak ends. That strikeout was huge. Need him to shake it off to win tomorrow.

    JV wasn’t great, but wasn’t terrible like so many posters are claiming. He had no margin for error. When you only score 2 runs it’s not on the pitching.

    If Scherzer starts tomorrow, I don’t think he’s going deep. Both teams have their high leverage arms in the bullpen rested. It will be a good game, and which ever team’s bats show up will decide it.

    This is why they took all 3 in Washington. Oh and man, I'd hate to be on a team with some of you. Jeez, nut up.

    He should be banned from MMP like the flash girls in DC.

    Warriors had an excuse to lose vs Raptors.

    But agreed, Stros could experience notable regression next year. Perhaps 10 fewer wins.

    Kate Upton didn’t even attempt to distract Strasburg.

    Not really, it was literally Kawahi versus the Warriors. They choked.

    Honestly, anyone is better than Strasburg, so that's where my confidence is coming from. Both games against him were UGLY.

    Max, it wasn't as bad, we got to him, and of course the rest of their pitchers we've knocked around.

    It has to feel a little good that even if Greinke was in trouble you can bring Cole in. Cole can basically do his best Bumgarner impression in this world series.
