  1. The way he went down those dugout steps did not look good for Arlington fans.
  2. anyone got a working link my sources are showing the wrong damn game
  3. we're talking about the dramatics of THE MOMENT so yeah you can. ETA: Chas's defensive gem and Mancini's magical snag at first base were huge moments in that game as well and if either don't happen, we may not remember Yordan's HR the same way. The Altuve moment ENDED THE GAME AND THE YANKEES SEASON.
  4. yep that homer in gm 1 vs SEA made me act a fool in a very public display of Astros fandom and had an entire bar of strangers howling at me. Didn't care, had fun. But that didn't send them to the WS. And Yordan's bomb in the WS, as massively important as it was to winning it all, the only way it could upstage "THE MOMENT" of Altuve's HR was for it to happen in the bottom of the ninth. We're picking nits here but Altuve's walk-off destruction of NYY and Chapman was just the stuff of little kids' dreams.
  5. on a tshirt, yeah. Don't get me wrong, I love Earl forever, he literally made me into an Htown sports fan lifer when I was just a little kid, and Nolan was a baseball giant. But as eloquently said upthread, it's THE MOMENTS that Altuve has given us that cements his legendary status. With all the heartbreak I suffered as a kid with the Oilers, Astros, Rockets and Phi Slama Jama Coogs, you learned to always expect the worst to happen when you were most exuberant and anticipating great things to happen. Altuve changed all of that. Dream did too, but he had Elie and Horry and Sam Cassell delivering alongside him whereas Altuve has had soooo many huge individual moments on the biggest stage. In my mind, the greatest moment ever is ALTUVE HAS JUST SENT THE ASTROS TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!! because that moment made us all little kids again.
  6. It's Altuve and Dream and nobody else is even close
  7. he's referring to the Dave Raymond sarcasm so many didn't get
  8. You guys are so fuckin soft. As an Astros fan all y'all Ardmore South mfers can fuckkkk allll the way off but as an objective MLB watcher who's seen plenty of ups and downs from both the Astros and Mariners, get your shit together and nut up. It's baseball, anything can happen in the last month.
  9. Some of y'all didn't learn shit the last time we all felt great and were giving each other high fives and reach arounds... Have you ding-dongs not looked at the upcoming schedule? We're playing a weekend series against the wayward Padres IN HOUSTON while the Mariners travel to Tampa for three and the Rangers get to playOakland at home. What could possibly go wrong?
  10. It's FAFO'clock for Enrique Tarrio. Judge about to sentence him to federal prison....reading the live tweets from the court room and Judge Kelly is hammering him.
  11. Hope Brantley is just resting and not injured
