    If it's free it's for me...got hooked up with tickets behind the Astros dugout for tonights game. I'll try not to make a fool of myself if a foul ball comes my way. First game since the Altuve ALCS walk off and I see tonight is Altuve ALCS MVP bobblehead night.

    When last did the last place team in a division lead that division in +/-?

    Angels are doing their best Astros impression early with bleeders and bloops

    Umps knew they incorrectly gave Pujols an HR last night. They made it a point to give a makeup call to the Stros early. :)

    I really appreciate pitchers like Greinke who win in different ways as they grow older. Kalas was really insightful in talking about his strategy once he got ahead in the count.

    He's had some problems, especially in his first year with us, putting away people with 2 strikes to get out of jams. I get exactly what they were saying, but I was sitting there thinking "if you ****ers just jinxed him..."

    Joe Maddon is such a b!tch. Hell of a manager, but he is one whiny b!tch.

    Another shift**** single (3), this one costs a run.

    Bats might want to show the hell up at some point in the not-too-distant-future.

    Thank you Blum for nicely saying what I've been saying for a year or so: it is ridiculously inexplicable why Myles Straw refuses to even attempt to bunt for a base hit. He could walk to 1st. Maybe he just doesn't know how, which is equally inexplicable.

    I'm pretty sure Heaney could strike out any Astro in history tonight. They seem to have no idea that he's living by the high FB and can't pick it up for ****.

    ...and the baseball gods have straightup decided to punish Greinke for something tonight.

    Zach has done all we could ask for. It's time for the batters to show up.
