    It's kind of insane the starters have been this bad. Framber has absolutely got to give them something today

    Between last year and this years playoff Javier has shown he’s up for the moment. Also Passan can **** himself. If he’s not a Red Sox fan then he’s just stirring up ****. The umpire sucked but that pitch was borderline and could have gone either way with anyone behind the plate.

    This is the kind of bullshit that pisses off Astros fans. The Red Sox get absolved of everything, Cora did nothing wrong, and a borderline missed call gives them a National excuse piece. Nobody is writing **** if the teams were reversed. What a ****ing disingenuous hack.

    OK. So apparently the secret is I can't watch the games. Game 1 I had to meet some people and ended up hearing the Altuve home run on the radio. Last night was feeling under the weather so fell asleep woke up about midnight with a series of texts from my GF saying Altuve blasted a shot over the Green Monster and that the Stros put up 7 runs in the 9th!

    I now don't feel so bad that I'm probably not going to be able to watch games 6 and 7.

    Gotta do what you gotta do my man. I'll go to sleep if the Red Sox take the lead and wake up again later.

    The media has been anti Houston since we knocked their darlings out in 2017, also the thing Yuli did with his eyes (lol)

    I find this humorous after the calls the Red Sox got in the prior two games. They still got half the calls and they want them ALL.

    See everyone says this kind of stuff and I just don't see it. Maybe he is biased against the Astros a bit, but I don't think it's more than any other fan base feels. Just look at what Boston fans are saying, its the same as most Astros fans.

    I feel like I mostly just start hating Buck when we are playing like ****, bc on top of us playing bad I have to listen to him talking about it and rubbing it in. When we are playing well I don't really feel like he is hating or downplaying a call. I think part of it is that he and Smoltz are incredulous that the Astros are a 2 out scoring machine. It really does boggle the mind that we scored all 7 ****ing runs with 2 outs after a leadoff double. Just wow.

    This is unbelievable biased ****ing journalism.

    This is the absolute worst.

    He should write an article for every single missed call in every postseason game. He'd have a library by the end of the week.

    Actually Cora is a redemptive hero who is the epitome of sportsmanship that is a father figure who makes sure his players don't showboat.

    Didn't sound depressed or melancholy at all. There was excitement in his voice (clearly no where close to TK - and rightfully so). But to say he sounded depressed and melancholy isn't close to the emotion he showed.
