    I was away from the computer in the early innings so i couldn't read the boards.

    Why did they ask Morton to stop touching his gum in between pitches? He did that in NYC, what made the difference today for Joe to talk to the ump?

    Actually only allowed 3 runs in 4 games. Also, for being a mediocre defensive team, they played really good defense, especially at home

    From the '86 disappointment, then 2005 (which you could tell was going to end the way it did), to the Oilers chokes. All the heart break of being a Houston sports fan is the main reason why the Rockets are so special in my heart. But baseball is my first love, and this team, man, this team feels like they can really bring it home.

    Also, Altuve is one bad hombre!

    Being there for that game. With that electric atmosphere. To see the Astros win a pennant with my son. I’ll never forget that.
