How is that possible? The managers are still talking to the umpires.

How is it possible that it's October 4th where you are at but you don't know the outcome of a game on October the 3rd?

Altuve came home on a Correa sac fly.

Is it too late to get a few bucks on the mighty fighting hawks to win the AFL flag?
Hey, Jose scores but that was probably 10 minutes ago.

McHugh gives up a lead off double, but renders it moot with two strikeouts and a fly to right.

Fuck, I thought the picture was lagging but the ball came into sight and realised he was running full speed.

Yeah, no complaints there. It was worth the chance, and the RF was up to the task.

Ashby on the playoff race: "I tend to look at it like if the Astros win their next two, the Angels are out of it." That's thinking outside the box, Ash.

Great catch by Springer. It's so nice to have speed in the outfield.

Alan Ashby is the one bad thing about this season.

Man it's good to see George out there in RF.

Colby Jack!!!

At least three F-bombs from the dugout after that.

196. And they've been cutting out of MLB Network to show the Sherzer no-no - damn filthy/dominant those last 3 innings (and struck out the entire line-up swinging on their 3rd time through).

Hits in a Monday division-determining playoff would count for the regular season, right?

Do they think that Astros fans are particularly interested in the Proactive deep-cleansing brush, or just that they have a particular need?

Yes...a 163rd game would count as a regular season game and stats count towards that player's totals for the season.

Centenario had a pair of brothers, Colombians, one named Williamson and the other Yeferson. Williamson now plays for Boyacá Chicó. We have never to my knowledge had a Wellington.

I'd say that McHugh hasn't had a lot of bunting practice.

Why not take Altuve out? He's not likely to bat again, and seeing as he's limping, might hurt you on defense.

I trust Altuve's sore foot more than I trust Villar's stupid brain. But Marwin is available.
