Houston Astros vs New York Yankees

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 19:42

27 minutes away from the start of the 2015 post season. Tanaka vs. Keuchel.

I'm not much of a Yankees fan but pulling for them tonight over the Astros. Hoping for an epic game.

Yankees even and over 7

Bought a tall boy of miller lite. Got it cooling in the freezer. About to crack it open. #ballparkbeer.

I'm on the 'Stros -1.5 and Over 7.

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 20:27

Feel like I should pour out a little beer in loving memory of Gregory Murrey the fan that died booing A Rod.

Water for me right now. Have to pick something up soon, should I step up my game and start drinking also?

It's October baseball, my answer to your question is yes.

Fuckin right. Go Astros. Thanks buddy.

by **Death Roe** 2015-10-06, 20:45

Missed opportunity with the bases loaded. Go Astros.

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 20:51

Haha McCann just let out a huge ''FUCK!" On camera and picked up by the mic.

by **GRR Spartan** 2015-10-06, 20:53

I just want the Yankees to lose so wer don't have to hear any "comeback " stories about Alex Rodriguez. He's responsible for his problems. He missed time because he was using PED's.

Let's not forget the Tigers payroll

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2015-10-06, 21:07

Wow, surprising as hell to me that San Diego and Seattle have Top 10 payrolls.

by **GRR Spartan** 2015-10-06, 21:19

Altuve is earning a total of $12.5M for 4 years through 2017 when he becomes a free agent.

If his next contract is anything close to Kinsler's 6 year $70M deal Houston's payroll will be climbing.

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 21:22

Would have been funny if McCann kicked Gomez's ass at home plate again.

by **Dr. Strangelove** 2015-10-06, 21:30

One game "playoff" is stupid.

They should make it 3 games. Then 5 for second round. CS and WS 7 games.

Then shorten the regular season. It'd be dumb to play baseball into December.

One game is plenty for the wild card teams.

Some asshole is wearing a Michigan football hoodie in the crowd

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 22:07

I can't stand carlos gomez but outside of that douche bag this Astros team is pretty likeable.

It only adds 4 days.

They'll never shorten season. So either play more doubleheaders or make the LCS 5 games again.

Also they should move away from predetermined dates. Just start the next series as soon as you can just like they used to do.

This year WS starts Tuesday Oct 27 even though if both LCS sweep last game is Wednesday Oct 21.

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 22:26

Altuve is so much fun to watch. Great at bat and add in the stolen base. I'm hoping the Astros pull it off.

by **Tim Wakefield** 2015-10-06, 22:28

Under 7 looking good!

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 22:43

Big pitch Sip! Down goes bird

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2015-10-06, 23:03

Lmao those Astros fans! Awesome !

by **Death Roe** 2015-10-06, 23:10

Being born in Houston, this is great. Go Astro Bros.

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 23:13

I'd put in Ellsbury for McCann.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2015-10-06, 23:15

Good for them

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-06, 23:16

Yankees should fire Cashman. Great win for the Astros.

by **GRR Spartan** 2015-10-06, 23:19

The Yankees lose ! THE YANKEES LOSE !!!!!!!

I miss Steinbrenner, he would have gone on a complete war path after that game.

I've never been a fan of Cashman. Fortunate for us Yankee haters they haven't figured out they should get rid of him.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2015-10-07, 00:15

us Yankee haters? In the OP you said you were pulling for them

by **steveschneider** 2015-10-07, 15:50

I was rooting for them just because I thought it would be good for NYC, but I did a flip flop through the game. I've definitely liked some Yankees teams over the years, and there's been situations where I've pulled for them. This team is hard to like with A Rod at the heart of the team.

I wouldn't consider myself a hater so that was my mistake, but I wouldn't consider myself a fan either. I definitely like the Mets more than the Yankees.

by **Wally Fairway** 2015-10-07, 21:40

So, I'll admit that I quit watching baseball sometime in June or July.
Then I watch some of that game last night - when the hell did Rip Van Winkle become a starter in the majors?
