    Who asked you to do that? All I asked is for fans to not ****ing give up in the 3rd inning. (not you...others here).

    Far from over, but damn this is not looking pretty right now.

    This team can and has put up run in bunches in the past, but Yankee pitchers have completely shut them down.

    Just need for the bats to catch a few breaks - bloops singles, errors, whatever... just gotta string enough of those together like NY did in game 3.

    This team just looks dead. I won't call them chokers or dogs or anything like that...they just look like they are toast.

    It would be a fascinating psychology study if someone studied the Houston sports fan. Especially when the city HAS won titles and was (at least for awhile) nicknamed Clutch City.

    The white knuckling approach spreads like fear, a domino effect throughout the lineup.

    That team however had built massive leads against Phoenix in Games 1 & 2. They simply needed to learn how to close.

    This bunch can't even string together 2 hits and build a lead in the first place. And don't give me Game 4. They got lucky and scored those 4 runs off a single hit thanks to Yankees errors.

    October baseball is unlike anything else.... Maybe the only thing that rivals it for me is the world cup... which I have nothing to root for in '18.

    Well, there is only one sports figure that is also a lord and savior to this city and he only played one sport.
