    Probably just some more "unwritten rule" BS between pitchers feelings and batters

    Agreed. If he’s not there it’s still not a home run.

    Where's the homie, @REEKO_HTOWN?

    He claimed while down 2-3, a group of Hooter's customers "karma'd" the Astros.

    Should say something since something was said.

    Hopefully nothing happened to that poster. Prayers

    I'm right here. I remember people saying we'd beat the Yankees 4-1. People really thought the Yankees would be a walkover for the Stros. Let that be a lesson, don't root for other teams to face you. It's stupid.

    I agree about his height but when he caught it was on the way down from the video.

    Oh well. Who cares. We won we are in the series and that's all that matters lol

    Judge prevented a single maybe a double by jumping 4 inches off the ground. UNBELIEVABLE PLAY!!!!!!!!

    Anyone who took the Yankees lightly obviously wasn't paying attention to them. That is a damn good team, and they're going to get better as their young players get more experience.

    I took them lightly personally. I saw Aaron Judge fail at hitting curveballs in the ALDS and felt our offense would be good enough to sweep them.

    So, at first, you thought Rockets getting #2 in '15 was a bad thing?

    Indians could've ACTUALLY beaten us... although seems injuries did them in.

    I thought LCS was over after Game 4, but re-acknowledged my own statements without a summoning :)

    What the hell does that have to do with rooting for a team that's not yours? I'm not into that crap. Root for your team. I was just a little ticked off that people were celebrating Yankee runs in a Pasadena sports bar.

    I don't believe in feeding losing teams "but" arguments. They lost. There is no consolation prize. Lord knows we've been on the losing end enough times in various situations. Do you really need everyone saying "...but they're going to be good in the future!". So are we! How the hell do you know? Each season is different.

    Okay, well at least you say emotion was a factor.

    Don't forget NYY equaled HFA too -- just like '15. Indians could've beaten our ass.

    It’s hard to sweep. Even when the Astros were swept in 2005, all the games could have easily gone either way.
