My dad and my 8-year-old son have watched this entire postseason together.   While I'm devastated that I haven't been able to join them for most of it, I can't imagine what a great memory it will be for both of them, win or lose.
We're all Astros fans.  Let's enjoy this team.

I'm so excited!  I'm so scared...

Maybe not as much as you might think, you may be surprised at how many 'Aussie' entertainers are actually sheep shaggers.  The progression seems to be first make it in NZ, then Aus as the way to international success.

He passed on in 1989. He was a semi-pro player, 2nd base. I couldn’t do the athletic thing, so being a fan is the next best thing. I’ve thought of him a lot this month

As Coach had to remind me in the ALCS...all you can do is put a good swing on it and hit it hard.  Keep it up, and they'll find a hole.

Did Bregman not get out of the box well? He's fast enough that if Seager kicks the ball 8 feet in front of him, he ought to beat it out.

I wondered the same thing.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Marwin maybe, but Bregman isn’t one to dog it, is he?

No he's not.

The ball kicked in front of Seager so he had forward momentum on the throw. Any other direction and Bregman is probably safe.

HPU has orders.

[HudsonHawk]

The fucking strike zone just got enormous

[T. J.]

If he DOESN'T put his shoulder up, it's a knee to the face. 

[austro]

Turn to Jansen for six outs? Sure, that's worked great so far.

[DVauthrin]

Springer!

[Nate in IA]

T7, 1 - 2, 1 out, man on 1st

Springer
strike, ball down, grounder past short for a single

[T. J.]

There you go. Keep hitting it hard, good things will happen.

[HudsonHawk]

Fuck.  Was hoping Gattis would be at 3B there.

[subnuclear]

Keep hitting them hard, fellas!

[Waldo]

2 on for Bregman. Absolutely have to cash in here.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 did somebody say 'keep hitting it hard,'?

[DVauthrin]

Good move bringing in Fisher to tun for Gattis.

[Ty in Tampa]

Stay loose!

[chuck]

He needs to pull Maeda right now.

[HudsonHawk]

They run Fisher before that at bat and it's 1B and 3B

[Limey]

Was wondering why we hadn’t pinch run for Gattis already.
