    They were interviewing this dude in a Rockets jersey outside of MMP, and he said he left Rockets game because they already had Bobby on the court so you know its already a blowout.

    @Pen15clubber i told you bro we were destined to win
    we had the gematria of 33 going all day for us

    october (third to last month from end of the year) = 3. the 21st: 2+1 = 3. = 33
    tied 3-3. = 33
    rockets 3rd win. chris paul who wears number 3 didn't play. = 33
    mavs scored 33 in the 4Q = 33

    btw... the WORLD SERIES IS 3 DAYS AWAY. the SI cover that pegged us as 2017 WS champs was 3 years ago.

    ASTROS = 33

    I should've never doubted Morton. He was nails, as was Lance.

    holy crap i looked through our box score and literally every player got a hit tonight (correa the only one with a multi-hit game).

    that's the offense we know and love!

    Love it when every batter gets at least one hit.

    The dodgers are the best team in baseball so they will be a tough opponent. They are way better than the Yankees.

    That was the biggest bonus from the Morton-McCullers shutout. Keuchel didn't have to be used at all. So we go into the World Series with the same rotation as we did for the ALCS.

    McCullers for one start or McCullers as a pivotal bullpen guy for 3 or more games?

    This was the first game I've seen a rally cap in the first inning. Granted, the Yankee fan was right to think they were dire straits that early after he witnessed Judge making the second out.

    Veteran aces will pitch on the road, and kids at home, this is a good scenario.

    2nd option, with the way this bullpen is pitching. Really hope they can turn their act around. Honestly I could see Keuchel starting game 4 in case of a game 7 depending on what the series record is at that point
