I want somebody to make a new Moby Dick movie, with Chirinos playing Ahab.

Why would you want him to? That means we're in a close game.

I don’t want him to. 

and in the process, cement his candidacy as the Cy Young winner.

Facepalm

 

Even if sarcasm

 

The Cy Young winner was sealed on Oct 1.

Cole will throw a pitch tomorrow night. 

Astros have Greinke, Urquidy, Cole, and the whole bullpen tomorrow.   Plenty of arms to put together a gem.  

Nats have a less than 100% Scherzer, Corbin, Sanchez, and a bunch of other guys the Astros have touched up.  
 

Anything can happen, but I like the Astros’ chances.

So you're saying that Scherzer faked his symptoms?

I think so. I'm assuming Cole can't go tomorrow. So they pulled a fast one. They could probably guess that Verlander wasn't going to be a problem in Game 6. 

Astros record by game in the World Series

Game 1: 0-3

Game 2: 1-2

Game 3: 2-1

Game 4: 1-2

Game 5: 2-0

Game 6: 0-2

Game 7: 1-0

I’ll welcome a close game after the turd we laid tonight. 

Gonna be tough. I doubt Scherzer is too far off his game.

But will make the WS title all the sweeter.

Fuckin A. Can't wait till they take these motherfuckers out of the scoring.

We have it tomorrow. Guys got squeezed by the ump with RISP and still hit hard balls that couldn’t find a spot. As we saw with games 3, 4, and 5 that shit can’t last. We take it tomorrow.

I was telling people this before the game. The Nats set things up for 7 games.

Ahh shake your glove, we don’t got a chance now.

So they threw a game so they would intentionally have to play 2 elimination games?  They beat Cole the first time they played.  No way they fake sit Scherzer.

Also, fuck Martinez. Guy is a disgrace. Act like a man. It’s okay to get heated but to have it go on that long. Dude is mentally weak.

Save us Zack Greinke. You're our only hope.

It’s setting up for the perfect narrative. Last minute trade deal and he wins us the World Series. 

This game was lost when Altuve couldn’t make contact with runners on third and second. It’s ridiculous that they cannot score at home after the first inning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before in my 40+ years of watching baseball.

We are going to win

Would kind of like it if the bats didn't just lay down and die whenever we get down a run or two.  The only time they answer is in the first inning.  After that, forget it.

So fucking pissed off.  The national media tried to make us a bunch of bad guys because one loudmouthed little dipshit said something questionable.  And Buck and Smoltz with this anti-Astros shit that started in the Yankees series and hasn't stopped, talking about how a 7-1 win was closer than it looked and going on and on about one bad strike call while in the same god damned inning we got one, too, and tonight with this interference call that anyone who ever played Little League knows is correct.

Fuck all of this bullshit.  The Astros deserve to be the story.  Make them swallow their pride and compliment the World Champions tomorrow night, whether they like it or not.

Buncha fucking bitchasses.

Agreed. That would have changed dynamic of the game. I doubt we see Devo at all if we score at least one run there. 

We have Zack MuthaFuckin Greinke going for us tomorrow. The last time Luhnow brought over a cy young winner mid season, we won the series. 
We are going to fucking dominate tomorrow.

That happened in the fifth inning so wtf does it have to do with Devo?

Not being down three runs. 

Already share spring training facilities might as well swap stadiums next year.

So after scoring at least one run in an alternate universe you are also still making the conclusion that the Astros gave up 3 runs in the seventh. Just seems like a stupid game of what ifs. 

It does suck to see Verlander struggle on this stage and also get no continued run support. The value of good starting pitching was showcased yet again.

They gave the Astros game 5. They wanted their best pitchers for games 6 and 7

Either this is sarcasm, or you are monumentally stupid. 

I’m thinking monumentally stupid.

I kept expecting him to squeeze a run in. In retrospect, even with two strikes maybe he should have tried. Strasburg was dealing.

JV will win the Cy Young.. did you mean hitting?

I made no conclusion. Not advancing the RISP with guys on third and second seems to have doomed the game. Who knows what would have transpired. Ideally if we tie or take the lead there we don’t allow Devo to blow it.

It ain’t Tapa.  The whole board has been shit the last few weeks with tons of double posts and it takes five minutes for a post to save.

He didn’t have his command. It took way too many pitches to get out of innings so there was no realistic way he was going 7 plus. 
 

I’m not talking about his Cy Young worthy season.

That’s what happens when you let aggy run the place 

I just wish our bats wouldn’t shit the bed every fucking home game in this series.  Three home games and only the first one was even close.  Washington has owned us like some punk ass bitches at MMP.
