    I can't watch till the end. Astros gave me so many good memories in 2017. I just can't stand to watch another team get to celebrate and stand on the field. It was a great run.

    Priority number 1 in the off-season: fix the stupid ass batter’s eye so we don’t turn into a below average offense at home.

    Rockets are garbage. Harden dribble for thirty seconds and shoot the ball and hope goes in doesn’t get me excited. Ball movement gets me excited.

    Lots crap calls to give Red Sox momentum throughout the series. The MLB got exactly what they wanted. Dodgers-Red Sox. The MLB has no damn shame. They should be crucified for this.

    Three-Run Crawford Crap, and Bradley going David Ortiz three consecutive games.

    Biased Umpiring and Passed Balls.

    What a laughably pathetic way to lose.. BUT, the Future is still brighter than bright. Wear shades.

    This,

    We simply weren’t at full strength and it showed. Boston is good, damn good. We had some chances and crapped out and they made some unbelievable plays. Last year we got a lot of that same luck and breaks, it happens.

    Thankfully we have Jeff and that scouting dept, will be back next year bigger and better. San Fran won three chips in a span of 6 years, every other year, we can do the same

    Boston was the better team record wise and in this series. It is what it is. Let’s see what Tucker and Whitley bring next year.

    ****... the beauty of Baseball is that it can still turn on a dime.

    We could realistically be even better next year if a few of our prospects continue to improve .... looking at you Kyle Tucker

    Last year you had players that were overachievers.

    The MLB didn't want to risk a possible Brewers-Astros World Series.

    Was just saying something similar. Gotta believe Luhnow and the team will be motivated next year.

    I guess I’m old now, well only a few months from 49, that I’m thankful that this organization is set to reload and compete for another chip. My old man died in 2016 at 70 years old a diehard but heart torn out Astro fan.

    I feel privileged for what we got to live through last year so to each his own but I just can’t get onboard with calling them chokers or b****es. We just didn’t have the depth and health.

    Really? Impressive Harden doesn’t get called for a shotclock violation.
