  1. I'm pretty sure the Academy at Bunker Hill and I-10 had some yesterday.
  2. Game 1 tickets secured. I'm taking my mom. My grandfather used to take her to the Astrodome site when it was being constructed. She's been a lifelong fan. She used to tell me that she was listening to the game while in labor with me, and Cesar Cedeno hit a grand slam. I thought she was kidding for the longest time, but I looked up the game on Baseball Reference, and sure enough, Cedeno hit one out off of Jim Kaat in the 5th. This will be her first World Series game. I can't wait.
  3. We should push Nola's shit in today and really fuck up their plan. I agree with this. Not because I think we need Altuve to have MVP numbers to win it, but because I think he started to find his swing in games 3 and 4 of the ALCS and will give us a big moment or two.
  4. Hadn't seen this posted yet. The analysis is detailed. The YouTube video is a tough watch. I couldn't get past the five minute mark. https://www.larrythegm.com/post/the-ultimate-houston-astros-world-series-matchup-guide Here's a summary for the tl;dr crowd: Final Thoughts I really think the boxing scoring system illustrates the significant advantage I see for the Astros in this series. The only SP advantage I see for the Phillies is game 2 (and game 6 if it goes that far) with Wheeler vs. Valdez. The matchup system amplifies the advantages one sees in the more traditional statistical analysis The top of the Phillies lineup is likely to produce The Philadelphia defense will cost them at least 3 runs this series I think the Astros win in 5.
  5. He pitched well enough in the 2017 WS. I've always felt that pitching him on short rest against the Rays in the 2019 ALDS affected his performance for the duration of the playoffs. For all the criticism Hinch got for pulling Greinke and not using Cole in game 7, I think pitching JV on short rest in the ALDS was the bigger mistake.
  6. The thought of Smith facing Harper or Schwarber with the game on line terrifies me.
  7. Looking for two tickets to game 1. I’ll probably break down and pay secondary prices if something doesn’t come through by Friday morning.
  8. Damn that was a good read. I need a cigarette.
  9. I am using them now. I haven't had any issue with them so far, but it's only been a couple of months.
  10. Yep. There's just one thing they need to do to cement their place at the top. Friday can't get here soon enough.
  11. I hope you caught the 7th at least.
  12. Only box wine and bud heavies for celebrations from here on out: This is what I did for WS Game 1 last year. Probably saved 10% over presale prices.
