I feel like this thread should have come to an end about a week ago. So I am making my final post in this thread. This season has had its moments but by and large it was basically 6 months of...
Did I mention I was happy? You know, about the Rangers getting bounced from the playoffs? I'm sure I did.
The rest of the playoffs resumed yesterday with the Dodgers-Nationals and Cubs-Giants in...
The playoffs were rained out yesterday in Boston, Chicago and Washington and I'll bet the Rangers wish the Toronto Blue Jays didn't have a domed stadium because, even though it took Toronto 10...
The baseball playoffs are under way so here's a recap of what's taken place so far.
ALDS
Toronto vs Texas - Toronto up 2-0 after sweeping both games in Arlington. This put Texas in a deep hole...
Cleveland beat Boston in Game 1 of their ALDS series by a score of 5-4. Good game with the home team getting the win.
The other ALDS game took place in Arlington with the Rangers going through the...
Houston has talent. Some of that talent is raw to be sure but there is some good clay to work with. Troulble is, I don't have a lot of confidence in the current coaching staff to mold the team into...
The first place you go to is the front office of a franchise. It all starts with them, the GM in particular because he sets the standard and develops the plan to stock the team with the right coaches...
The Astros beat the Angels on Saturday just to show they could and they pretty much went through the motions of the game yesterday. So did the Angels but their motions were better than Houston's as...
The Astros appeared to have given up last night beginning with P Brad Peacock. He had pitched well but, because I made the mistake of praising him, he was just terrible last night against the Angels....
The mystery and the misery is over folks. Baltimore snuffed out Houston's chance of making the playoffs last night with a win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Houston is officially mathematically...
Crazy, foolish, silly. That's the emotions that can be the only explanation for holding out hope that this team would step up and actually be clutch. The Astros were doomed less than 10 minutes into...
I had to laugh last night when Bill Brown on the Root Sports TV broadcast recapped the game saying that Astros starter gave the Astros 5 strong innings. Maybe Brownie was just trying to be positive,...
Danged if the Astros didn't get shafted by their bullpen again. After Colin McHugh went 7 good innings allowing only 2 runs in the process and after the Astros were able to erase a 3-1 deficit in the...
Houston finally beat the Angels yesterday by a score of 4-1 salvaging a win in the 4 game series with LA. Joe Musgrove got the win to even his record at 4-4 on the season and Ken Giles got the save...
It's not even worth recounting any more. Houston lost its 3rd straight to the Angels 10-4. After Brad Peacock went 5 innings allowing but one run the bullpen collectively shit all over Peacock's good...
I don't know if there is something in the water or what that makes the Astros bullpen suck fuzzy balls in September. Last night the 'pen didn't just blow a 3 run lead going into the 8th inning they...
That gagging sound you heard last night was just the Astros choking like the weak, simpering curs they are. I knew this was going to happen, this team is not clutch, not even close. Yeah, they've won...
The Astros completed the sweep of Oakland yesterday with a 6-5 win that shouldn't have been that close. Collin McHugh did what he does, pitches fine until he gets some run support and then he...
Danged if Houston didn't win again last night. It wasn't easy as it took the Astros 10 innings to get it done in a 2-1 victory over the Oakland A's. That's two games in a row where Houston has come...
Houston won the opening game in their series with Oakland with a 4-2 win last night. I literally forgot Houston was playing and maybe it's better to keep forgetting until the season is over. Houston...
I told you. This isn't the time of year to take 2 steps forward and one step back. Back in May winning a series 2 games to 3 was great. Do that the whole season and you are a shoe-in for the...
Houston won again last night by a score of 2-1. That's a good thing but I would go all crazy about how Houston is making their run. I won't happen. It's good that the Astros are at least showing...
Okay, now I'm pissed. Why? Because last night Houston began their series against Seattle and beat them 6-0 giving Colin McHugh his 11th win of the season and they also beat the Mariner's best pitcher...
I suppose that the Astros 8-4 victory was at least a moral win of sorts. The fact that Houston should have won the series doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but it would have be THE moral...
Ah, isn't it nice when you have a closer you can depend on? A guy you know is going come in a just shut down the other team in the 9th inning and go home with a win? We really haven't had that since...
