    Its one game.

    The Astros could beat either of those teams in just one game.

    That being said, Rays have the starting pitching advantage... and that's the thing that most determines single game winners.

    So Nelson Cruz is allowed to play tonight. What an absolute joke.

    I cannot believe they're leaving Price in right now vs. Beltre

    I cannot believe the umpires didn't notice that ball bounced.

    I'm with tellitlikeitis. Just seems dirty that he's allow to come back in with the first opportunity being a playoff game. Yes, he served his time...but that doesn't mean he should basically be rewarded with a start in this game.

    Evan Longoria and David Price are now my favorite non-Astros.

    suck it Rangers losers

    although this isn't as good as in the 2011 World Series when Nelson Cruz short-armed that ball in right field on David Freese's triple. Now that was true beauty

    I could have sworn I saw Nolan jarring at the home plate umpire because he didn't like a couple of calls he thought were strikes. He looked pissed. Maybe I was imagining it.

    This was me moments ago as the TBS camera panned to all those Arlington fans clearing out...

    And Nelson Cruz being the final out was..... appropriate.

    At least the Astros' losing season was productive.
