This weekend series is the World Series for the 2013 Houston Astros.  Finally, a chance to get four straight games with the hated Mariners in our home stadium.  The entire year for both teams was a mere prelude to what should be an epic showdown.  Oh, those smug fucking seafarers and their fish flinging fucking fans have just been chuckling to themselves, sipping their cortados and pretending not to have been nervously eyeing Labor Day weekend on their calendars since the opening bell rang back in April.  WELL IT'S ON NOW MOTHERFUCKERS.  You can't ignore the decades of insults and the painful past that forged this hated rivalry any longer.  Your day of reckoning is here, and IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME. 

Play ball.

Kill the Mariners.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Wow. Lyles walks Q. Not an easy thing to do.

Glad to see Q back in the majors though.

Lyles has firsthand knowledge of the kind of carnage that Q can wreak. There's no way he's challenging him.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

So we're in line for a four game sweep at this point, which would be consistent with the World Series comparison.

3-1 seamen, top of the fifth.
