  1. To be fair, there were only a total of 7 playoff games per year until 1969 - the World Series. Maximum possible wins per year during that period - 4. (Might have been a couple of 9 game series before 1910.) Then the max went to 7, now it is 13. The majority of our wins have come within the last 6 or 7 years. Astros have certainly had a better playoff win record compared to any of the teams that were created around the same time, or after. I went to my first Colt 45 game in 1963, for years I thought we’d never win a playoff game, much less a World Series. I always longed for the Astros to be the bad ass team, the team that everyone knew they had to go through. And here we are, piling up playoff wins every year. These are the best of times.
  2. ^^^^^^
  3. Always the Yankees. To quote Conan the Barbarian, our goal should be “ To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.” The Astros have been very proficient at achieving that goal. So much sweeter when we break the Yankees fans’ spirit every year.
  4. I don’t know what your definition of spectacular is, Wulaw, but my definition of spectacular would include 18 innings of shutout baseball.
  5. FUUUUUUUCK I’m getting too old for this shit
  6. Those pussies in Seattle on Lookout Landing have been crying about the Crawford Boxes for years. Like it is a home field advantage because only we can hit one there. That Mariner announcer had to throw in that it was only 315 feet to the Boxes on Yordan’s home run call. Never mind that it actually carried 371. Bunch of fucking crybabies.
  7. Yeah, I had to switch to MLB network. They have the Spanish language broadcast
  8. Crazy how the trajectories of the two programs seem to have flipped in the blink of an eye. Fuck Blow U, may they have a decade of irrelevance like we’ve suffered through.
  9. BOHICA, Sooners Longhorns coming for revenge Deliverance style
  10. I just rewatched the game, and I don’t know what the Card haters expect. I see a quarterback that is improving with more playing time. He went 21 of 27 - one of which was a Hail Mary at the end of the half. Made a couple of off schedule plays, stood in and got blasted on the 1st TD pass. Later in the 1st half stepped up in a tight pocket and hit Worthy for a big gain. Sure, he wasn’t perfect, overthrew Worthy, underthrew a couple. But I think he’s played well enough to not deserve to be getting shit on by some of the fan base. I wouldn’t blame either of our losses on him.
  11. I don’t think we have any idea what the numbers mean, even now. For example, I had OG covid Feb 2021, therefore never felt the need to get the vaccine, 1st Texas Cares draw Aug 2021 - S 347 N 184.0 My latest draw last month, a year later and 1.5 years after being infected - S 242 N 76.0 My S numbers have been much lower than most vaccinated that post their results on here, whereas my N numbers have been much higher than most of the infected that post here. Seems like relatively low S numbers for me, but I haven’t caught covid a second time despite taking very few precautions over the last year+. I know lots of vaccinated - presumably S 2500+ people, like most that post results on here seem to be - that have caught a case in the last few months. Small sample size, luck of the draw, who knows? That’s what Texas Cares is endeavoring to ascertain, I think. But to this point, they have not published any sort of definitive results. Nor has any other organization that I am aware of. I hope they can give us some insight at some point. I look forward to their conclusions.
  12. Nothing that I know of. I use my kid’s YTTV when I need to watch March Madness or American League playoffs on the Turner stations, and he uses my FuboTV when he wants to watch an Astros regular season game. Edit to add: We live in different cities. When logged into his account, I get his local stations and vice versa
  13. For fuck’s sake, Ewok is coming in there swinging violently to slap hands, everybody else is trying to get in on it, and he catches one in the face. Boo hoo.
  14. To be fair, you were spot on about this. But the rest of that was inane rambling.
  15. Card directed this team to a 41 - 20 victory tonight. On a gimpy ankle.. If you can’t be happy about that outcome, well, you must be one miserable son of a bitch.
  16. I missed it. What the hell did he do tonight that riled everybody up? Sure, he’s seemed to be a harmless dumbass, but he’s been OUR harmless dumbass up till now. What changed?
  17. I just wanted to give kudos to Nostrafuckingdamas here. Called it at halftime.
  18. Oh, yeah bucket list checked off. Going to Harvard on the Brazos to watch his son, an App State fan, do what? Cheer for his team? Fucking dip shit. From his prose, it appears that he probably got the NowThis treatment when aggy showed up in Hicksville, Va, and he liked it. They ARE friendly, AppStateDad, but a word of warning - WATCH YOUR CORNHOLE.
  19. For Christ’s sake, can’t the writers take a little poetic license to advance the story? You are one of a select few of the viewers that know those facts. The rest of us don’t really give a shit. With the possible exception of Derka.
  20. Well, I’ll be damned. I have always heard the definition of a quality start described as 6 innings with 3 or fewer runs. Thought that was a hard and fast definition. Didn’t know it could be lost later. Not that I paid that much attention to quality starts. Turns out I was missing something. Mea culpa.
