    Without Villar, we kind of need Marisnick as a potential pinch runner. There's no one else off the bench that's a threat to steal. Plus, as cold as Gattis has been, he's still more productive than Marisnick.

    I am rarely nervous before a sports game, but I am tonight. Simply put, the Astros deserve to win this series.

    Not true. Marisnick is 3 for 7 while Gattis is 3 for 20 plus Jake is the most athletic player we have and makes things happen.

    Rangers are up 3-2 and are a double play away from being out of the inning.

    Choke? Where?

    How sweet would it be for the Stros to beat the Royals and Toronto. Hate them both equally.

    Crazy stat from ESPN:

    KC's victory Monday against the Astros was the second time in postseason history a team won an elimination game when down by four or more runs entering the eighth inning. The first time? When KC rallied in last year's wild-card game against the A's.

    Maybe it as much about KC and their approach as it was the Astros' bullpen.

    Everything is bigger in Texas, even the choke jobs.
