    One of my best friends (and not coincidentally, my BIGGEST sports watching rival) is a humongous Spurs and Rangers fan. Tonight, my phone is going into a dark drawer, on silent, while I proceed through the 48 heart attacks I'm sure to struggle through.

    Please Astros, Rockets... my life depends on your performance tonight!!

    In all seriousness, this HAS TO BE the year we get them OFF of our back.

    I'm calling for a 4-GAME SWEEP! Let's get loud for 'em, Houston!

    Correa has been hitting the ball with a lot more authority lately.

    Here's to hoping he becomes a monster this series, and helps carry us to a 3-1 series win.

    sweep

    Also, McCann gets in a 1 on 2 fight with Gomez and Odor, and ends up winning handily while the rest of the team watches

    I'm right there with ya, sequestered in Fort Worth with Stangers fans at work and a next door neighbor who bleeds black and silver. I am relying on natural psychotropics along with a goodly dose of grain spirits to carry me through...cross faded--not jaded

    LOL... that's funny, I'm going to be using the same treatment to "carry me through." Good luck tonight, homie.

    Go Stros! Go Rox!

    16-9 for April compare to 8-17 last April. I have no complaints with this years team. We can only get better.

    Have they routinely been giving Darvish an extra day of rest? He pitched Saturday. I was assuming he'd pitch Thursday.

    He threw 125 on Saturday. Probably just giving him an extra day or two.

    Were they off yesterday. Maybe they don't want to skip anyone or just keep everyone lined up. More likely, Darvish is just scared of Marwin.

    No. I just looked, and he's been pitching every 5 days. Then went 6 due to an off day prior to his 04/29 start. Now going 6 with no off day if he doesn't pitch Thursday.

    So I guess we are just stuck with him being scared of Marwin unless you believe the conspiracy theory about him needing rest for throwing 125 or something like that pitches.
