    Astros have revitalized Sanchez and Judge....i almost forgot what it feels like to hit hr.... remember that feeling we had when Altuve hit 3 in game 1 vs Boston?

    Good times....

    Even shameless Astros' homer Michael Conner calling the team out now.

    Altuve on the wrong side of the base again. That's not learning.

    So you watched a World Series game once. Awesome.

    Being negative accomplished nothing. But I promise nothing you post here is gonna accomplish something for the Astros.

    But if you’re watching this and blowing sunshine out your ass then I admire the eff out of you. I’ve seen this movie too many times.

    If any sports team learned how to control momentum, they would be gods.

    But reality says momentum comes and goes and its hard to figure out.

    Our best chance to seize momentum could come with verlander. Is it a coincidence that correa, altuve walked it off for verlander? Is it a coincidence that bregman hit that tying home run for verlander? Is it a coincidence that we went 8-0 and turned our entire season around when we got verlander?

    I personally believe it isnt a councidence. I think he might have a unique way of inspiring the team. If we win convincingly with him tommorow, all of a sudden the yankees might be scared for game 7 and our offense will come alive.

    We will see how it all plays out but momentum is a fickle thing in sports, especially baseball

    First game of the season, I stopped watching or listening to. I only missed one the whole year.

    I like your thinking, but StL went on to lose the WS that year though.

    This is reminiscent of the Oakland series last month in how they are getting their asses kicked. Nothing is going right, nothing.

    Homer **** drives me crazy. Lots of that on Astros twitter and here. It’s masked in math wirh astros fans a lot. Because they’ve convinced everyone they’re the smartest baseball guys ever. Looks like the same old **** to me right now. Hope they’re as smart as they say they are.

    What did I even predict? How did I post any fake news?

    How about you make a quality post instead of taking 2 seconds and typing 4 words to lazily bash my post.

    Meh it's homer radio. It's for Astros fans. It gets the chili dog crowd hyped up. You are one of the guys who is behind enemy lines but most people that know a damn thing about baseball know the deal. But honestly we have had to hear the national media slob all over the Red Sox and now the Yankees so the local media tries to take it so far the opposite way.

    They have 2 opportunities to get 1 win in Houston. This is horrible not getting 1 in NY.

    On the other hand- if both teams continue to hold serve 100% at home - we win!

    Momentum is a cheating w****.

    Tell the 2004 Yankees about "momentum." Went into a series against the Red Sox with no healthy top starter as a major underdog and spanked the Red Sox for three straight games and then got rolled up 4 in a row.
