    Glad you agree man. Seriously I thought everyone in yankees lineup could go deep and I was scared to pitch to them. Dodgers just don’t bother me but maybe that’s my fault. We will see if we’re right on this one.

    Springer saw more pitches than any other Astro tonight, mostly because everybody else (save Keuchel) was able to put the ball in play and George had to wait to be struck out. He spent more time at the plate than anyone.

    True but dodgers pitching staff is flat out better and we dont have homefield which for some reason we’ve been cold on the road these playoffs

    Saying this is already conceding the series, isn't it? Dodgers have HFA, and record-wise, they are the best.

    I don't exactly agree LA is better though. Our record only includes 20% of Verlander.

    Stros need to win games, period. The pitching tonight was decent overall - the offense was crap.

    My neighbors are all suffering tonight because I'm the only one in West LA with enough foresight to have air conditioning. They came by after the game and asked to come in. They're all Dodgers fans, so I said no.

    *not really

    No overreactions from me tonight. Kershaw was lights out, Keuchel was very good but the bats couldn't help him out at all. We'll get em tomorrow with JV on the bump.

    Need George to be more composed and start looking the other way. I still have no idea why he all of a sudden closed his stance up after a tremendous season with an open stance. Bugging the hell out of me.

    I hope we figure their staff quickly. Darvish should be our advantage being former division.

    Crap offense tonight. Marisnick's injury doesn't help, but we're healthy overall.

    Yea, unfortunately ever since the first two games of the ALDS crap offense has been the rule. A slight break out there at the end of the ALCS but mostly not much going on these playoffs after those two first ALDS games.

    We fared better than I thought against Lurchshaw. He was on tonight. I've learned through these playoffs that you can't count our Astros out. This ain't the 2005 Astros. Some people need to stop living in the past so much and enjoy what we have here.

    Are you satisfied with 2 hits?

    Yankees were dangerous . Not intimidated by the dodgers. Just win 1 in LA and take care of homefield.

    I was at the game. The crowd is super weak. I doubt they had to lower the volume much.

    No. Stay focused. Your lack of focus was the reason that our bats went flimsy.

    Next game: LASER focus time. Zero distractions.

    We can not waste a Verlander start in LA. We need to make sure to win it and I back to Houston tied.

    Dude is right. Maintain a belief or you're doomed. I know we as fans don't matter as much, but there's something about the aura of a team and fans believing it's their time. An aura when bad breaks don't break you. This was one game. We've come back strong from a 1-0 deficit before against LA. We know how to beat LA.



    We were down 0-1 and won 4-1 against LA. Just keep believing in this team no matter what bad thing happens. All we have to do is survive to fight another day and if we keep surviving they'll hand us a trophy.

    Let's get the rest of these fans believing. We can do this. This is not beyond reach.

    Hats off to Kershaw for a game well pitched, but we're still coming for the Dodgers. That trophy is ours. We're keeping it.
