    Mariners just need to be happy they got 3 fewer vs Yordan, and 3 extra games vs Jabreu (Bagwell's birthday).

    2018. lost all 3 games at home.
    2019. just need to win 1 with 2 home games. lost them both.
    2022. just need to win 1 with 2 home games. won the first one with yordan's clutchness.
    2023. just need to win 1 with 2 home games. lost them both.


    astros just need to win 1 with 2 home games. they keep tempting fate and most likely it won't end well.

    19 & 23 still bother me because Astros were the better team. 18 & 22 the Sox and Braves were just better.

    The only reason the Asstros came back to take the division lead is because the Mariners can't hit and are chokers themselves except when it comes to playing the Asstros. Look, there is very little excellence in baseball these days among teams. Some team has to be at the top because there is a playoff, but that doesn't mean they are really that good except for that particular year among all the yokel teams. No one, even you, would call the Asstros a team of excellence. They are simply better than many of the lousy teams in the American League. They lost three in a row to the Reds who suck. Their closer has an ERA of 3.5 and he is considered good these days. Get paid a ton of money to have a closer ERA of 3.5. That was something that was unheard of years ago. Now, it is a norm and another symptom that pervades MLB these days. So, get ready for another beatdown tonight. I would love to see the Asstros win, but it ain't gonna happen as long as the Mariners have someone on the mound that can half ass the ball to the plate.

    If they knock the Mariners out of the playoffs, I will be thrilled. By the way, I hate the Mariners far more than I like the Asstros. That is why I am unhappy with Houston.

    Some people might take you more seriously if you didn't post like a 9-yr old yankees fan.

    i gotta give credits to the braves. their pitching was lights out.

    the 2018 redsox team was bullshiet. Jackie Bradley Jr.......... really? their defense was also worldly against the astros.

    I never saw Joe put Grae Kessinger to lead off a game. Or bench Diaz because Hunter needs to get used to a future ChiSox castoff.

    Wasn't the 2018 team the team that Alex Cora you know cheated without any guard rails...?

    That 2018 team was loaded (particularly on the pitching side) and I still think one of the Astros best during this run.

    Their team ERA+ was 134 and the next best team was 118. Their FIP was 3.23 and the next best was 3.60. They didn’t have as dominant an offense as some of the other teams but they were witting a few points of the league lead in OPS+

    The only reason the Astros aren't 5 games ahead for best MLB record is injuries and bad calls.

    You Dusty lovers are too much. He’s a terrible manager. Joe is already doing more with less and he would never sabotage his team in the ALCS.

    Oh, you are such a super sleuth. I'll help you out here. I am not from Seattle, nor am I a Mariner troll. I hate the freaking Mariners and am simply super pissed at the Asstros for choking in the last week of the season to either: 1. Give the division title to the freaking Mariners; or 2. Lose to them and give them a path to the playoffs, where they will come back as the last wild card to again kick the Asstros asses in the first round of the playoffs.

    So, that's the story and until the Asstros help oust the Mariners from playoff contention, I will continue to bash their collective asses and call them out for the chokers that they are, especially their fake closer, Hader. C'mon Hader, let's just give the Angels four runs in the top of the ninth to further worsen your flat out horrible ERA of 3.35, or close to it. After Sunday's total choke, it is probably closer to 4. Hader and the rest of the Asstros suck until further notice.
