I have zero faith in the Astros' ability to finish this off because I'll never underestimate the ability of a Houston sports teams to find new and lower depths to tread to break their fans' hearts.

Of course it was going to 7. The storyline demands the home team always wins Game 6.

No more middle ground at least. Either Houston exits the real world for a few days in celebration, or yet another generation of Houston kids are introduced to the worst kind of heartbreak sports in this town has to offer.

There's also team dad Beltran available

I'll take Beltran. I can relate to being the old man in the locker room right now, I've got a bunch of my son's roommates crashing in my house that got left homeless after Harvey wrecked their apartments.

Besides, still remember how drunk and angry I got after he left town to go to the Mets. It was a mancrush second to only Morgan Ensberg (wonder what he did last night).

Yeah and even then they get a pass

By then their sons will be ready to take the mantle, and the Astros locker room will start to resemble Degrassi

i miss the astrodome and i wont apologize for it

I did too until I started going to Minute Maid on my own when I got into my teens and it's so much easier to get to than dealing with 610.

That doesn't make you weird, that makes you an old timer. Back in the NL West days they were the Astros' first nemesis. It wasn't til our lifetimes that the Cardinals took that title over.

Speaking of the Cardinals, if you really want old timers there are still native Houstonians out there that are life long Cards fans by way of the Houston Buffs.

requesting avatar of Tal's Hill or the train or Beltran's glove

I know the dead glove won't be fulfilled, but I've got the claim on Beltran and if you want him instead be my guest. That's five bucks I really ought to put towards Harvey rebuild.

Rude, they already got Anthony Gose!

I totally forgot about the Rule 5 draft, and as a former Willy Taveras fan that's just uncalled for.

Mark Appel retired today. I guess not so much retired as washed out. He's now just some guy living in west Houston.

I saw Kyle Tucker was moved to minor league camp. Even with the stacked outfield I can't imagine he'll be there that long.

So our new jam is just stranding Runners on base huh

The RISP jam is an old Astros Easter egg. If they strand enough runners in a game Jim Edmonds will appear and jack a three run homer.

Astros still good, but also Mariners

White Sox too

But that's why they're called slump busters, as if playing .667 ball is a slump

Verlander threw his 100th inning as an Astro last night and has a 1.05 ERA for it all

that's disgusting

Rangers fans are Astros fans that lost their way after the Nolan Ryan years, and that if they repent their ways and ask Orbit for forgiveness they can be brought back into the flock
