    Tmac is looking good. Yao is awesome. I like the additions of Anderson and Swift. Deke coming to back up Yao is great.

    All we have to do is get past the Backe game. And there's still hope. This could be the greatest world series ever if we do it.

    They might as well hit a grand slam to put us all out of our misery. There toast, I'm going to bed. Let them rally and prove me wrong.

    eh, in my opinion the game was lost in the 5th

    we left roy out to dry and paid the price

    to the tune of 5 runs, 46 pitches and losing a 4-0 lead

    Yeah, it's becoming clear that not going for broke there killed us.

    I mean, even if we do somehow win this game, how can we win tomorrow with our bullpen decimated and Backe likely to only go 5 innings?

    i feel the same way, wtf was garner thinking. palmerio is a better contact hitter and you go for the win. Even if palmerio doesn't succeed, you move burke over to center and palmerio in left.

    Since the double play, Astocio could not get anybody out. Even worse he could not event throw a strike.

    Garner's biggest mistake of the postseason: Putting in that piece of **** Astacio.

    Why the freaking hell he didn't put in Wandy? At least we would have had a better chance instead of no-good piece of crap Astacio....

    I love this Stros team but they are out of gas..

    The White Sox have outhit us, outpitched us, out fielded us, now their fans are out cheering us and worst of all they've out clutched us..

    I love them I love how far the Stros have come I'm going to keep on rooting for them but if they don't win this game I'm not watching tomorrow. I can't watch them get swept...

    Nothing to lose now. We are officially 5 3/4 feet under. I like our chances.

    Cratter face, cratters.

    I KNEW it....as soon as I saw him coming in.....he gave up over 20 home runs in very few starts...the guy just has a straight mediocre fast ball.....

    His splitter is outstanding.........damnit.

    Zeke sucked, but I blame this loss on the hitters......we had so many opportunities to score and we just didn't.

    The story of this series will be our offensive woes.....not our pitching.

    How many is that now. 3 of our last 4 losses have been because of gamewinning home runs to our opponents, 2 of those with 2 outs.
