I got my tickets for Game 1 Friday.  Getting the kid out of school early on Friday and hitting the road.  Should be a good time

I second this!!!

I hate these series where I want both teams to lose.  No point in watching when I can't root for anyone.

Are you a Yankees fan? I’ve been an Astros fan for years.

Throws too many curve balls and already had Tommy John surgery.

Playoff beers are way more expensive than regular season beers….

Lived in Dallas as a kid.  I’m a rangers fan.  I rooted for the stros for years when they weren’t playing the rangers, including in the World Series.  with the cheating thing I kinda got away from cheering for them.  More so probably because of how so many stros fans dismissed or downplayed the scandal.  The Red Sox busted for the basically the same thing a year later, so I like to see them lose now.

It didn’t make me happy. I wonder how much advantage it really gave the Stros. They beat the Dodgers in LA against their best pitcher. Also lost every home game against the Red Sox. But hey, you have guys that say “stealin” signs with a runner on 2nd is just “part of the game. I guess it comes down to what level of cheating people are willing to accept……corked bats, steroids, spitballs, cutting the ball……it’s almost endless, but I guess if the White Sox can call you a cheater, then it must really be bad.

Go Stros!

I hear you.  I think the difference for me is when you have a runner on 2nd you know he’s trying to steal the signs.  You’re not expecting someone in the outfield seats to be relaying them electronically to the dugout.

Got that 3rd out …..phewwwww

I understand that too. For me, cheating is cheating, no matter how we try to absorb it. I cursed my Stros and didn’t watch them for a whole season. I am over it and hope they kick the crap out of Boston.

[Chester86]

Hell yea!!!!!  Altuve tied it up with a 2-run bomb!!!!

[Chester86]

Correa goes deep after receiving some 98 mph chin music!!!!

I’ll buy all the ice water you can drink if you can tell me what brand of overalls the train conductor was wearing at Minute Maid Park.  Answer in next post.

[Chester86]

Hint - Only American made brand out there.

[Chester86]

Answer - Roundhouse (made in Oklahoma).

[Chester86]

2 outs remaining for the win, Astros up by 1.

[Chester86]

1 out to go

[Chester86]

Let’s go ‘Stros!!!!  1-0 lead on the Sox.  Great night for sports.

Garcia struggles a lot in the 1st, but that was rough.
