Pinning my hopes on Shaka seems rather foolhardy. Maybe I’ll shift my focus to volleyball??? It’s almost like getting fulfillment out of sports is a fools errand. You would think I’d learn this by now but I’m slow.

October 31, 20196 yr Ugly ass series, but great season overall by the Astros. Congrats for taking the Flag. Seems like a fun ride for most of y'all. Just as a Texas transplant, was fun watching good baseball being played here in Texas. A nice gesture was the #2 owner of the Nats reaching out and congratulating Houston and its Texas fans for a competitive series.

October 31, 20196 yr Well, that could have gone better. GG Nats, you earned it. Can't believe the away team won every game, just unbelievable that has never happened in a playoff series before.
October 31, 20196 yr 5 minutes ago, C-Man said: Not worse. Most of this bunch won the WS two years ago and the Nats are a better team than the Cardinals were that year. Rangers blew a 2-run lead in the bottom of the 11th in Game 6 and had a catchable ball (for anyone not named Nellie Cruz). Rangers lose, get beat in Game 7 and haven't sniffed a championship since. And there isn't one coming any time soon either. That was worse. Cue Hurt. Because it sure still does

October 31, 20196 yr Author I’ve been honored to start the season thread the past 3 years. It’s time to pass the torch to Lil’ Shep. We all know he’s got the magic, so I look forward to our 2020 WS title.
October 31, 20196 yr Glad it wasnt the cards, dodgers or yankees. We were in dc at nats park in August. Everyone was extremely nice and eager for a title.

October 31, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, At Ease said: Thanks for a great year, Astros. Puts 2017 in perspective, you’ve got to be good, you’ve got to get the breaks. Thanks guys for all the posts and contributions and game threads throughout the year. As an out of towner who had to follow mlb.com box scores for updates, they were greatly appreciated. You need some breaks, for sure. But you also need to be able to play from behind sometimes. In 2017, we could come back. In 2019, 1 run down turned into nervous pitching, fielding errors, more opponent runs, and horrendous at bats. Not just in the world series, but also in the alds and alcs.
October 31, 20196 yr I thought Cole was warming up? Why switch to Harris. Greinke to Cole would have been a huge change of pace. Set up for the closer. We just needed two innings from Cole.

October 31, 20196 yr Those last few innings hurt, but it’s already fading. Great team. Going to miss this group. Looking forward to the next iteration.
October 31, 20196 yr Embarrassing. Grienke was doing great...and all for nothing? No time for positive outlooks. This was a waste of a season to choke like this at home. Nata lost at home too, but they are new to this stage. We should have owned the home field like vets. Can’t win one fukin game at home out of 4?!?!?!?!?!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
October 31, 20196 yr This game was lost when Chirinos bunted that ball in the air with 2 on and no outs. Their inability to generate runs in the WS with anything other than a HR is what doomed them. Edited October 31, 20196 yr by Hate
October 31, 20196 yr That HEB Astros commercial is pretty bad timing right now. They should change the HEB guy on the drums to Rendon, and have him play baby shark. Would be more fitting after that shit show.

October 31, 20196 yr Well this sucks. Smith's balls sure did shrink. Pitched like a girl to a guy that was 0 - 4.

I cannot believe that players don’t bunt against the shift. You do that a few times successfully and they’ll stop shifting against you.
October 31, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, cabowabo said: That’s true. We should have lost to,the Rays and I have no idea how we beat the Yankees. Yep. Rays should have been the AL rep. Think they would have handled the Yankees, and given the Nats a real every game back and forth series with a bunch of extra innings thrown in. Would have been more fun to watch for the nonaligned fan. We just tried to out all star teams. It barely worked, barely worked, and then didn't work.

October 31, 20196 yr So the white sox and nationals have celebrated a title at mmp. Any link/info on the daniella rumor?

October 31, 20196 yr Welp, it does feel like home again. Someone start the offseason thread. What can we get from the Mets for Hinch in a trade?
October 31, 20196 yr I just spent the last 10 minutes consoling Chuy because he started crying when Brantley struck out. I think I was talking to myself outloud intending to speak with him about how you dont always win Fuck baseball. Life goes on but fuck it

So cringy hearing this team talk about being a dynasty. You have to win more than one before even being in the conversation. Unfortunately I think this year was the year to get another title if it was going to happen.
October 31, 20196 yr There isn't gonna be any getting over this one. This is worse than '05, '04, '98, '86. Even if we get another championship or two with this nucleus, this one will always bother me.
