    people give up on their teams to easily now a days or hail them champs after 1 game.
    It's a series and it's far from over. tired of those dodgers sending wave after wave after wave of relief pitching. it never ends. ahhhh.

    Not a chance they intentionally hit a guy in the WS.

    Dont go on any social media sites... its gotten way out of hand. People who dont even care about Sports are ******** on Yuli, Houston, MLB etc

    I thought it would maybe calm down after he got 5 games, but no since he wasnt suspended in the WS and right now, the comments/faux outrage has gotten worse.

    Which is why I have no social media. I just can’t take it.

    If anyone saw the latest episode of The Orville it was hilarious in the irony of what our society could/has become living in the social media age, sad really.

    Alright, back on topic.

    We got a World Series to win, still a ton of pressure on both teams to win tonight.

    It will be very awkward if Yuli hits a few more homers and gets the MVP award...

    Every game is its own battle. There is no such thing as momentum anymore. Just a slight favorite to the team who is playing at home, and an equally cancelling favoritism for the team that is sending out Kershaw or Verlander to pitch for them in those games.

    If we win today and lose tomorrow there is a very significant chance that LA could pull off a 3 game comeback to win in game 7. Don’t forget that. Nothing is over.

    I honestly only have one to follow Houston teams accounts. Im starting to think its not worth it. The comments about our team in general and the city is what is getting to me the most now. I logged out cause I just want to enjoy game 4 tonight!

    Go stros!

    I have a feeling this is gonna come back to bite the Astros in the ass hardcore.

    Our second best performer in the post-season behind the MVP is now the biggest villain.

    The feel good story is gonna shift to LA overcoming the racism and putting down the racist Texas team.

    If the umpires and everyone get caught up in the narrative, I can see us losing now.

    I really hope Yuli makes another apology before the game and we move on from this and win.

    But I have a feeling he will play worse now. And that sucks because he’s been on fire.

    "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

    BATMAN KNOWS WHATS UP

    Every feel good story for us in sports ends in failure, maybe we need this lol

    I don't know. Draymond Green is one of the biggest a-holes in pro sports, and his team doesn't seem to have been affected too negatively by his on-court antics. And don't get me started on Dennis Rodman during his stint with the Bulls or the entire Bad Boys Pistons.

    There are plenty of title-winning sports teams that have villains or hated players. And BTW, I don't think Yuli qualifies as that. Some segments of the media may attempt to portray him as one, but those idiots overplay their hand far too often and make themselves look foolish in the process.

    i've been around.

    why haven't i posted much? what's the point? we're about to win the god damn world series. :):):)

    but seriously, a mix of life and work getting in the way, and, sadly but truthfully....there's been too little to b**** about this year. i'm a complainer, and things have been going too smoothly this year.

    i've posted periodically though. just not as much as usual. and, we're 2 games away from what we've all been waiting for. maybe i should've cut back my posting years ago. :)

    let's get this tonight boys.

    I want a remake of that Darvish stretch where our bats just went crazy. That **** was amazing. And to think that if they left Fields in, in game 2 it would have been even worse lmao.

    Tough to hit when he's throwing 93+ on average. Hasn't averaged 91+ in a game since mid August. Very surprised he's in there. Granted, CC gaveand Astros trouble throwing softly.
