    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.

No, who wants to see a pitcher hit?

 A lot would like to see Mike Fiers hit

I know, baseball is so fucking boring, right?

To the casual observer, it's brutal.

Graveman would have stolen 2nd on d’arnaud’s noodle 

I thought he got tossed, and not by Rosario.

He's been really effective. But watching him on the mound, I always get this feeling a wheel is one lug nut from falling off. Was expecting this to be the night it did. 

Fair enough I guess. Not a ton of clean innings. 

Damn it, freaking YouTube TV crapping out on me.

This may be the first post I’ve seen on this thread that reaches “popular post” status all via gritty’s

It happened....I hear a vuvuzela

against the Astros, that could get ugly.

Well I do but I thought that was obvious.  Outliers make the long baseball season fun.

I thought Barrrett made a motion to the effect going to break but I guess not

Is Taylor warming up for Freeman and Albies, hopefully it doesn't get to them?

Never.  Count.  Outs.  

HA. WRONG! I was counting wins.

Thought Siri was gonna do a running front flip into a split after that catch.

Calm the fuck down, son.

Yes, totally agree. No argument there. 

But TV contracts and ticket sales are still through the roof, so there's more than a little demand for it.

Totally don't intend to get into the DH vs Pitcher argument, though. I was just making a flippant comment. 

ASTROS WIN SEE YOU IN HOUSTON!

See you tomorrow Tuesday night!

Sorry, Joe Buck, but we ain't dead yet.

LET'S FUCKING GO ! ! !

Suck it Atlanta fans. You still might win it, but you’ll be watching it on TV. 

Only mostly dead!

 

Just kidding.  We're doing this.

 

Machete, man.  Awesome.

Sometimes I love it when Astros beat writers are like a minute ahead of my feed.

Keys to victory:

Don’t pitch Valdez vs Braves. 

Seems like it worked tonight

These guys.  These fucking guys.

 

Welcome home, Stros.

 

Especially to come back from an early GS after those ALCS games.

We played three 2-game series at home this year.  Swept 2 of them.

Now those Atlanta collars get just a bit tighter. Two long days for them to stew on what might have been but wasn't. 

welp, Tuesday night is the most important game of the year 

 

literally 

when shohei gets a start he bats and under current rules he's batting as a pitcher, not a DH, right?  i just assumed they'd change that going universal DH but maybe not

This team has given me so much joy from about 2014 on that I can’t be mad about anything. Disappointed about 2019 which was the best team clearly of the entire run, but maybe we can steal one with this team, minus LMJ. Bc make no mistake this would be a theft of a worls series (in a general sense- not that we are worse than the Braves). 
I’m really glad we didn’t go down in 5. That would have been sort of bitch made. This team isn’t bitch made at all.

Dusty said probably Garcia on Tuesday.  I hope not.  I'd try to go some combination of Urquidy/Odo/Javier and pitch Garcia on regular rest Wednesday.  You have to win both.

Now those Atlanta collars get just a bit tighter. Two long days for them to stew on what might have been but wasn't. 

After that grand slam, every single person in that stadium thought they were gonna see a celebration tonight.
The mental mind fuck that follows that, combined with the knowledge that this team blew a 3-1 lead last year, and there’s gonna be some puckering in Houston.

Yeah, that's right.  I don't know why that would change.  He's already playing in the DH league.

Hanging around.....hanging around

 

Alligator blood 

I had a friend from Georgie message me for the first time in the world series after the grand slam saying it was over. I told them they jinxed it and they did!

Yep. The DH is an optional position - but only at the start of the game - and the pitcher can still bat.

Yep I love shutting those fucking chop-mouths up, all those fans thought they were in for a nine-inning, three hour party in anticipation of the 27th and final out of the 2021 season and the Astros said NOPE.
