    Can't go much better than that. The champs making game 1 look routine.

    Good swings from the hitters, and got LMJ a relief appearance, got Pressly his first ever postseason appearance (in a tight spot to boot).

    Don't know how we will do, baseball is weird, but this is clearly a team that is comfortable with playoff baseball.

    loved that there wasn't a world series hangover appearance. they looked even more locked in than a year ago with a ton of poise to be patient and trust they'll eventually get going

    the tbs crew made me miss bob costas. Strawman? that's the nickname they give Straw. Gtfo' with that generic a1 brand weak sauce. might as well call straw the passion assassin. (2007 reference)

    oh yeah, good win.

    Offense, defense, pitching, and base running was on point. Great all-around win. I know it's early but Dodgers and Astros look set for another clash.

    Remember the last time the Astros had a 5 run lead against the Indians in the 9th inning?

    I've been working all day trying to close a deal for a client under a super tight deadline...I got to see bits and pieces of the game, but what I saw looked amazing! My first thought was, "We look the playoff Astros." And then it occurred to me how wildly different we all see this franchise now than we did before last season in terms of confidence. They've completely redefined the franchise. It's insane! GO ASTROS!!!!

    Of course, we installed our postseason batters eye, makes all the difference.

    And allows TBS to superimpose tacky ad's on it.
