    haha yes I would. I literally can't remember a game where I wasn't like 'and Carter strikes out again.' but, i guess over the season makes sense. was kind of a cheeky comment anyways :grin:

    Rocketmanjosh is hitting cangrewhatever levels of annoyance. Arguing to the the death on a point that simply isn't factual. None of you are changing his mind, no matter how incorrect he remains to be. Can we please move on to the actual subject at hand?

    This is a best of 1 series, correct?

    Really hoping Castro can contribute absolutely anything offensively tonight. Even a walk or just moving runners on base over to the next base instead of 3 Ks could make a huge difference tonight.

    So is this a "play in" game?

    Yes, it's best of 1. But his is how it works now. It's just as much of disadvantage to the 4th place team (the 1st wild card). Before this, that 4th wild card would get a 5 game series guaranteed. Now they (The Yankee) only get a 1 game series to see if they get a 5 game series.

    Houston Sports finally caught a break through hard work. Enjoy it and take it for what it is worth.

    To me a single game before other series is a "play in."

    That's fine if you want to call it that, but it's incorrect. A play in game would have been if we'd had to play the Angels yesterday to determine who won the last playoff spot.

    hahaha ... We all want the same thing, the Astros to score about 21 again tonight and head straight to KC :)

    This game just needs to get here already.
