    I know I know .. we want to have "classy and knowledgeable" fans, BUT

    Please ... PLEASE! Lets get some guys in the Juice Box tonight who will be just as petty. Lets have some fans running around in full Rat costumes. Lets see some cheeseheads in the stands. I'd love to see some inflatable syringes being tossed onto the field to remind the A's and their fans that they arent so innocent and that HTown has a backbone!

    Lets sweep these tricks again!

    There's been some chatter on Twitter that there will be people in attendance with the sole reason of being there to boo and make the Astros home crowd look bad. If there are some boos when Altuve and the rest come to bat then the home crowd will need to cheer even louder to drown them out. I hope Altuve gets a standing ovation to start the game.

    LA teams always seem to have bandwagon fans everywhere when one of their teams is good. Fake Dodger fans will be there this weekend, you can count on that.

    Times like this is when we need the visitor's bullpen to be open. If the spineless rat even traveled with them, he's protected in that pen. Hopefully Astro fans will have more class than to throw cheese on the field in front of their pen, but I'd still laugh at it if we did.

    There’s no need to overwork Alvarez this early.

    Never thought I'd see the term "overworked" used for a DH, but here we are.

    "Baker’s reluctance to unleash Alvarez is somewhat understandable."

    There's no "somewhat" about it, Chandler.

    He may not be the droid we are looking for.

    As long as it's only a Straw-sized flaw...

    Size does not matter with the force.
