    mariners and dbacks didn't put their best possible teams on the field last year the final 2 series, iirc. doesn't make anything guaranteed, but i'd rather have them with nothing to play for than not.

    5-1 road trip. Colin has been great in September. Let's bring the fight back to Houston.

    I think the Angels should bench trout so he can be rested for next year :)

    I'd like to see their bus crash and the entire team to suffer non-life threatening injuries.

    Except for Rougned Odor. His can be life threatening.

    Would mean the Astros got to the postseason and won the wild card game, so yeah, I think we'd all like to see them one more time this year.

    I know most fans want to show them up.

    However, I just want the Astros to have the best change to win at that point given that most teams do not make the playoffs often. So I'd much rather face the Indians whom Stros have played evenly.

    Let Sox and Rangers beat up on each other.

    Orioles with a horrible throwing error.

    Down 2-1 to Boston.

    If current lead stands Astros would be 1 game back of WC2

    EDIT: Homerun Red Sox next batter

    Great series. Astros pulled out some close ones.

    Pitching is carrying us, along with some decent hitting.

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!


    Can divisional opponents play in the First (real) Round, or did that change?

    Astros-Rangers might be ALCS.

    They can. Just last year the Cardinals and Cubs played in the Division series.

    Baltimore spits the bit and Boston finishes it right there.

    Go Astros!
