    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

 I was discussing a negative hypothetical question with another couple of Astros fans and  I'm curious where Astros Surly falls:

Assuming the Astros lose their last game of  2021, would you rather?:

a) lose to the ChiSox in the ALDS

b) lose to the Rays in the ALCS 

c) lose to the Red Sox in the ALCS 

d) win the ALCS but lose to the Dodgers in the WS

none of the above, WS victory is the only acceptable end for  this season

I mean losing to the Brewers/Braves would feel like 2019 part 2.

Losing to the Giants would still suck but it would suck the least.

Fuck losing to Chicago or Boston though so from your scenario give me Tampa or give me death.

World Fucking Series.  Insert Herm Edwards gif.

As a lifelong Astros fan, it still seems crazy to me that we are relying on the Houston Astros' playoff performance for our fan sanity.  I'm trying to enjoy this unique run after decades of being kicked in the balls.

Got picked for the ALCS tickets presale.  If you signed up, check your email.

Allow me to preface this by saying “fuck the Yankees.”

For perspective, the 1936-1939 Yankees had at least four teammates that played 19 post season games together and would have played a *minimum* of 47 games had they swept an ALDS and ALCS each season.

But, the 1949-1953 Yankees played 28 post season games together and would have faced a *minimum* of 35 additional games had they swept an ALDS and ALCS each season (63). 
 

On the other hand if you count just the World Series games, Altuve, Correa, Bregman, and Gurriel will have only played half as many (14) games together.

just fodder for thought

so those yankee teams who qualified straight to the world series because of the format get to just blow through the early rounds to the world series in your scenario?

they had plenty of advantages back then.  not every record needs an asterisk.

Our boy Kike is trying to single-handedly eliminate the Rays.  5 hits Friday night including a homer and 3 doubles and 3 for 3 with a homer so far today.

No. Didn’t say such. In fact, not blowing through would have added to the total games played together. An additional 7 games is the minimum for any team that qualified for the Series.  

“Asterisk”? I just threw it out there for perspective.

right.  or they lose the occasional early series and don't make it to the world series.

i remember when they expanded the playoffs years ago, and a bunch of modern jeter-era yankees started piling up all these records and i thought it was some bullshit.  glad we've caught up and surpassed that garbage.

[mention=228]Scraps[/mention] thoughts on this stadium ?
radio is blasting the place 
Guaranteed Rate?

Nothing special. Nothing even in the area of the stadium. If you have upper deck seats they don't even allow you to go to the lower deck. Kraft Kave for beer was kind of cool.

Other than that it is just a stadium.

Wow that’s a loud environment for Chicago. Is that what it’s like to get a home playoff game at night?

As an Astros fan, I wouldn’t know.
