He has a lot of bad days.

Apparently, Orioles fans just aren't that mature.
Yup, I don't hate a team just because they beat us. Hell, if the Astros win this series I'll probably root for them to go all the way.

The O's hate of us should really be directed to their under-performing big time players in the playoffs.....cough cough.....Adam Jones.

They also should have kept Jim Johnson. :D

I'm still in shock to witness comebacks like that in the playoffs within 12 months of each other. I was telling a guy at work, that just doesn't happen. Down 4 with 6 outs left and it's happened twice.

There was a t shirt too guys. East coast toughness can be shattered by printed words on cotton apparently.

The hate of Ryan Madson is just stupid. He's one of our best relievers, his stuff is great and he pitched great in numerous high leverage situations this year. More high leverage than anyone else not named Davis in our pen. He's been very good. 2.13 ERA, .96 WHIP and 8 K's/9. That a lower ERA and WHIP than Herrera and just as many K's per 9 as him as well.

He has been our second best reliever, no question.

Exactly.

Adam Jones had a bad series. And the guy who REALLY killed them was Steve Pearce. That guy stranded the population of Papua New Guinea in that series.

If the Royals had lost this series, it would have been on Cain/Hosmer/Moustakas for not performing (and still might).

They'll get McHugh again on Wednesday, and I think KC beats the shit out of him. I imagine Houston will also be willing to go to Keuchel for 3-4 innings, but hopefully KC can jump to a big lead early and not let Keuchel be the deciding factor.

And if he is? Well, goddamn. Bully for him.

Yeah, I do hate their stadium, but wouldn't care if they made it to the World Series. :shrug:

I got home 2 hours after it started and luckily my dumbass friends have learned not to text me. I was able to avoid knowing anything and watched the game completely through.

What an amazing game!

Does someone have video of the Gore call?

Yup, I don't blame other teams when we lose, it's usually on our guys.


Did you meet your new child yet?!?!?

Agreed...
And that SHIT UMP behind the plate completely missed Strike 3 on Correa right before the homer.....

Yeah exactly. I was going to post "great series - you guys completely outplayed us" - in the thread on another forum that's about 2/3 Astros fans.

Now the Blue Jays OTOH. I really don't like them.

It blows that Tim Collins got injured. We could really use him now instead of Madsen.
Wait. What??

You'd rather have Tiny Tim than Madson? :eek:

Watching the last 2 innings again, drinking progressively more...

hate to break it to you

but the Cubs, with their lineup and bench depth, and Arrieta/Lester is FAR scarier than the Cards ... and FAR scarier than the Dodgers (no lineup).

I personally want a Cubs/Royals WS ... but ideally we face the Cardinals, as, IMHO, they are the least talented team left in the playoffs
