I guess we should be thankful the game's not in Houston. Young would be guaranteed to have 4 hits and 5 RBI all by himself, and I'm not sure the Astros will be able to score 5 runs in this game.

White knuckle time now.

I was slightly less stressed when the cy young strong contender who had only given up a few hits was on the mound, but Sipp battled and made key pitches.

I think Gregorius leads off the bottom of the 8th, so they might use Perez, and then go to Harris. Although I think Gardner is after Gregorius. And they've still got Ellsbury on the bench to pinch-hit against righties.

I used to shop at PC Richard and Son. In fact, I got a window fan from them. It was pretty fancy. It had an intake fan and an outtake fan so you could circulate the air. It circulated the hell out of the bus fumes from the 61 that stopped under my living room window. They changed that route number I noticed recently. I don't remember what they changed it to, nor do I know why.

I'm really happy for the guys like Keuchel, Altuve, and Castro who lived through the truly awful seasons. I hope this makes up for that, at least a little bit.

Well, they've faced Keuchel twice before this:
7 3 0 0 0 9 0
9 6 0 0 1 12 0

and now you can add
6 3 0 0 1 7 0

That's 22 inning 12 hits 1 walk, 28 strikeouts and 0 runs

When you go in thinking you're going to get beat, you get beat.

Hey now. At my worst I'm a lot prettier than Kruk.
This summer I got to talk to a guy for a while who played with Kruk a couple of years on the Phillies. He told me that on more than one occasion he walked in on him in the locker room shirtless. Eating a hot dog. Reclined. Ketchup on his gut. Dipping that hot dog on the ketchup.

No doubt. Haven't seen hide nor hair of him lately, which is sort of weird, but a big fucking congrats to him, all of the front office and Crane.  Must be real sweet for them.

I saw a brief comment from him in the video from the celebrations after the last game of the regular season.
I think I saw something 2-3 weeks ago from him saying he was going to maintain media silence while the season wound down.

Congratulations to them for sure!

That was epic. At Yank-me stadium and we sent em' home! The Astro crowd that hung around after the win was pretty damn big and enthusiastic. I ran in to quite a few good conversations with Yankee fans, and generally had a good time talking baseball with them.

It's been 10 years(!) folks! Think about what your cell phones looked like back then!
