They won the first game.
They are entitled to take the rest of the series off and they By God intend to.

Pessimist. Every day is a new day! With J-Max hitting in the three, we can't lose!!! I bet that he goes yard against the talentless Bruce Chen.

Needless to say I started Bruce Chen on my fantasy fantasy team so I expect the Astros to pummel him.

Can you fucking believe that Bruce "I got nothin'" Chen got away with a six pitch inning? Unfuckingbelievable.

Given the competition (in the most expansive meaning) not at all surprising.

Chris gets today's MVP for striking out when he could have hit into a double play.

That's okay. Chris Snyder just picked him up.

Is the game scoreless or just the Astros?

Thank you, President Ford.

Unsurprisingly, Snyder struck out with men on 2nd and 3rd.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

While we're on an academic bent, we should ask Snyder who is buried in Grant's tomb. Another fucking strikeout with ducks on the pond. Sigh. And we're risking wasting a quality outing out of Lyles.

Why does gamecast show Happ as runner on 2B?  He pitch run for carlos or is Mills hoping he gets injured?

It would have served lazy Carlos right for loafing down to 1B because had their 1B hung on to the ball because the 1B ump was ready with the out call.

That's not the position that you want to see him in, as he fails to produce. 2-1 BALLGAME Shitfuck. Lose two out of three to the Royals and came within an out of getting swept.
