    I’m absolutely rooting for the mother falcon Houston Astros. I doubt seriously you care as much about this franchise as I do. But I’m not gonna blow sunshine up your ass. This sucks.

    That's what happens when your team can't score through 4 games.

    At this point it is a blind hope that they will suddenly wake up.

    That’s called wisdom. Knowledge formed by experience. It’s a defense mechanism for people who care.

    Welcome to houston sports. The same people on here counting the Astros out will be the first to sing their praise if/when they beat the Yankees. I don't get it.

    The lights are too bright for a lot of these guys, unfortunately. It happened to better players than these guys.

    It's over. These guys are scared. It's the Bagwell/Biggio annual playoff meltdown all over again.

    I know its not over and anything can happen but I think this game and series is over.The Astros haven't shown us anything to indicate otherwise.

    This offense looks mentally shook and pressure is mounting on them. It shows in their at bats. If history has shown us anything, its done.

    Maybe Im just preparing myself emotionally, because why wouldn't I after all thats happened in the last 3 decades?

    Just preparing myself....emotionally... this is Houston sports.

    Trying to not get too into it.... like the way I've been able to back away from getting too into the NFL.... no longer does it ruin my week after a loss.

    Time for our bats to wake the **** up.

    It's a brand new series....best of 3.... let's do this

    I just don't get how a team that has a historic offense can now be completely incapable of stringing together 2 or 3 hits. Even Altuve has been blah the past few games. Get this team a shrink.

    The offense has picked a poor time to look as bad as they have all year. But this team got swept by the A’s about a month ago so nothing that happens in baseball is all that surprising to me.

    Game is far from over, just need something to get us going.
