Love that we had some Stros fans in attendance.  Well done.

The Pettite jerseys are much cheaper than the Pettitte ones.

For road trips, Marwin carries his smaller Venezuelan flag. Full size is reserved for home games.

Astros jersey.  Do you think I would actually wear a Yankees jersey? 

I was wearing my crush city shirt underneath, which I proceeded to display after Gomez hit the bomb.

Good choices, every one.

I asked myself the same question. why would anyone think that toddthebod would wear Yankees' gear?

I like Crush City better than Hustletown but I like everything today.

Just checking - it used to be a tougher place in the old stadium.  I went to NYC for two Astros games in August (including the one w Keuchel) and represented in Astros gear without incident.  Saw a good amount of Houston fans, lots of Correa.

This was actually my first time at the new Yankee stadium.  It seems like the Astros always come to New York when I am out of town.  I thought that the fans were okay.  I didn't take a lot of abuse.  The fans seemed more pissed off at their own team than me in my Astros jersey.  The guy sitting next to me was really drunk and I thought we would be a problem, but he ended up spending an incredible amount of time buying beer and going to the bathroom so he wasn't around a whole lot.  A couple of people wished me and the Astros good luck after the game was over.

There were a lot of people wearing orange in the stands and after the game was over, it seemed like there was an entire section on the third base side that were Astros fans.

Where did Hustletown even come from?  I see the Astros social media people using it, but what is the origin?  Crush City makes a lot of sense, I don't get the Hustle Town thing though.

I really don't like hustle town at all.  But I love crush city.  I have two crush city shirts.  Reason #873443 I love Etsy.

Where did the Crush City thing come from? I get that they hit a lot of homers, but I dunno. Seems a bit too 15-year-old-boyish to me.

Now, a Colby Jack shirt I could dig.

Crush City is a play off of all the homers and Clutch City.  Hustle City makes no sense whatsoever.

The Astros have used #Hustle a ton this year on social media -- probably almost as much as #CrushCity. Maybe someone liked the HUS(tle)/HOUS(ton) connection? (I know, that's a stretch.) I also don't get changing your hashtag for the postseason. Just guessing at their reasoning.
