    I wonder if the network will pull the same cap like it did in the WS and pretty much demand the Astros leave the roof open so it will look better on TV?

    That still aggs me.

    Went to the Texans game but found myself up at the bar glued to the TV from the second inning on.

    I love this team.

    Can we close out all games with Sipp (7) - Harris (8) - Gregerson(9)? Love the trio. Very solid!! If SP can't go 6 innings, we can use Fiers. If one of the above three guys struggles, we can then resort to Perez/Fields/Neshek I guess..

    I hope MMP is rockin'. The KC fans were loud but the 'stros took that early lead and took the fans out of the game.

    Perez will pitch late in the games against tough lefties that you know they won't pinch hit for.

    He will ONLY pitch to Hosmer and Moustakas when the situation dictates the move.With the switch hitters we have reverse pitchers, Sipp and Harris.

    For righties, we have Neshek.

    Hinch is using the relievers much better the last month of the season.

    Playoff MMP is something serious. These guys have no idea what the home crowd is capable of.

    Don't like the Kashmir start tomorrow.

    But hey AJ is hitting with all his moves of late, so he must have a good reason.

    I don't really believe the short leash mentality, yes he may not last long, but if AJ starting him, obviously it's because he is thinking Kashmir's experience is more important and expected he is a better choice.

    Well, once Perez will give up a hit, this forum will explode on AJ.

    There will be people screaming : Harris has a lower ERA against lefties!

    I like his matchup: which starting pitcher *****s himself less. First to 5 wins it.

    I like Kazmir move tomorrow...if your gonna pitch him tomorrow would be the perfect time to do it up 1-0 on the road. Kazmir could be a bust of the joker that gets pulled out of the card deck

    Nothing but Rangers/Blue Jays & Pete f***cking Rose. WhereTF are the Astros post-game interviews. I hate this f****cking network.

    Good night.
