  1. You’re damn right they are. Tonight the Astros are going to dominate. The only question in my mind is whether or not the Nationals can extend this series to seven games.

    Hell yeah...

    I got a sign yesterday.

     

    I got in a fender bender the other day and the responsible party has State Farm for their insurance.

     

    I called yesterday to deal with where I’d take it to get repaired and discuss rental car.

     

    I get off hold and hear:

    “Hi this is Jake with State Farm, how can I help you?”

     

     

     

    (Hit me 2 home runs this weekend )

     

     

    And as I’m posting this, a buddy just texted me:

    “The waiter, with Spanish accent, just walked up to grab my plate and said, ‘Yor-dan, right?’ Oh yeah, we got this “

     

     

  2. No clue

    Not reading it.

    Not today.

    Not until after the WS, If then

    Sick and fucking tired of this story and being beat over the head with it every time I turn around.

     

    I just. want. to. talk. baseball.

     

     

    Literally THE most wonderful week of the year if you are an Astros fan and this is all that is discussed everytime I turn around...at least in Texas. I usually hate national media but I’ve listened to a fair amount of MLB radio this week as it’s the one place that seems to be talking actual real baseball with little to no mention of off field stuff

     

    I’m done.

    I wish I could take a 6 hr nap and wake up at 7:08

  3. Has Hinch given any clues what he’s going to do in the OF?

    You gotta sacrifice the defense and put Yordan in left and Brantley in right unless Alvarez wears a golden sombrero, don’t you?

    I love the strategy of NL ball but hate it when pen meets paper and there is a real dilemma about whether to start a ROY or not...

  4. What's up with the goofy shit Soto does in the batters box? I wish someone would have thrown at his face once the game was no longer in doubt. 

    Yeah its been bothering me more than it should and I finally put my finger on why last night: He looks like an Aggy tuba player

  5. ok, keys to the world series.  i'll start.
    1. get alex bregman fucking going.  his first rbi of the alcs was on that weak grounder in g6.  he slugged .222 in the series.





    2. 2 stats in particular we’ve done all year we need to continue: on offense, led majors in fewest Ks and most BBs ( Nats were 4th and 8th FWIW).
    Need to continue that MO. Work counts and get into their bullpen in the 5th or 6th.
    (After George swings wildly at the first pitch from Scherzer tomorrow night, of course)




    3. Get Yordan going, or get Diaz into the DH Spot
    4. Get Greinke some extra BP.
     
     


    damn good on you surly.

    #1. fail
    #2. Push. Got in to the bullpen as early as you could expect but the 12Ks for the game was 5 above our regular season average
    #3. Push. Yordan reached three times but not in the most critical moment. Did get Diaz two ABs against the Nats bullpen which may come in handy later in the series
    #4. TBD
  6. In the hard copy of the Chronicle this morning, 7 Chronicle sports reporters made their World Series picks. 
    Only one picked the Nats. 
    Hunter Atkins’ pick? Nats in 6
     

    Well then, looks like someone just earned an unfollow on twitter

    That’ll show him!
  7. Goddamn the secondary market is still out of control. I feel like 2017 was cheaper for WS tickets, but maybe I’m imagining things. Would love to get something other than 400 for under $1k but doesn’t look likely. Fucking fees. 

    I think it’s comparable.
    I bit the bullet on SRO after game 4.
    It dipped a bit yesterday below what I paid but barely below $500 with fees
