    Whaaa, I’m just enjoying it. Not sure what you mean by “you same people”. I’m glad the Astros made this a series and didn’t roll over. Not that surprised thou, it’s never been easy. World Series in 2017 went 7 games. Win or lose I’m glad I got to experience it. I do see the Astros as a non baby shark who have been slumping lately. Have fun dude, stop “taking it one game at a time”. You’re paranoid.

    Wow. What a game. Who needs viagra when you have the Stros.

    Make note

    77227 - That is the new zip code for Alex Bregmans BALLS. They have their own now.

    One has to think Forrest Whitley starts next season in the Big Leagues. I wouldn’t mind trading Kyle Tucker for a controllable starter.

    Not you personally, but the same people that freak out every time something goes wrong, and hop right back on when things start looking good.

    You can post graphics of a million Orbits finning a million baby sharks while Ride of the Valkyries plays in the background for all I care.

    The next game is all that matters.

    This is fun as ****, btw.

    Its a roller coaster that’s for sure, glad to see some hero’s step up and bring back the magic of a championship team. Feels like a momentum shift, luckily this series comes back to Houston.

    Now we know it was just a bad decision by Hinch based off post game comments

    A bad decision to pull Urguidy? A guy who hasn’t thrown more than three innings in a month? A guy who was about to face the lineup for the third time? Urguidy was phenomenal, but when the bullpen gives up only 1 run in 4 innings, how was it a bad decision? If you want to discuss a bad decision, look to Martinez bringing in Rodney.

    Bringing in Rodney in that spot was just a setup for failure. There was no way Bregman was going to let them get away with it two games in a row.

    Who are you to tell someone how to be a fan? Your view is not right just because u think it? The nature of FANDOM is unpredictable, irrational, and stressful. People deal with those feelings/emotions differently. Doesn't mean they don't have the right to root for their team. I posted the Choke City thread not because I believe they will lose, because I understand people will jump to one extreme or another (and wanted to see the reactions). Too many take these game WAY TOO SERIOUS, but it is their right to do so. If they want to jump on and off the bandwagon, their choice. Astros don't care.....as long as they buy tickets, watch games, and buy merchandise. Been a Houston Sports fan for over 40 years...been thru 35-3, Clutch City 1 and 2. I'm pragmatic about Houston teams now: They win, they win, they lose, they lose. May not feel great about the losses, but still enjoy the wins.

    Just because you have some Ideal of self importance, doesn't mean you opinion means anything more than an any ******* posting on a message board.

    You don't like it....go **** yourself. People will keep posting and not damn thing you can do about it.

    Same with the Texans' forum. You have the right to b**** about them.....but if they make you SO MISERABLE, find another team that makes you happy. That is always my point. Y'all say they will never change......well, change your team.

    It is still just an opinion on the internet.

    Nobody was talking to you.

    Nice rant, though. Was this one supposed to be sarcasm again or should you be taken seriously?

    More fun facts about Urquidy:

    Urquidy is the first pitcher in MLB history to have fewer than 50IP in his career and then have a scoreless start in the WS

    Urquidy is the second pitcher since the LCS began in 1969 to have his first career postseason start be a scoreless outing in the WS (Jon Lester, 2007)
