Not as tough to take as 2011 but still sucks! Feel bad for Andrus...it's going to haunt him for a long time.
Can't wait until we face Bautista next year. Fast ball right in his ear hole!! (For the record I would probably have reacted the same way. But I'd also expect a fastball in my ear hole the next time we faced each other)
No, there is no shame. But it never should have gotten this far in the first place, if they had finished the job in game 4. They're letting the Royals steal this series from them.
All done. Great season for the Astros and really a year earlier than I expected. They aren't going away any time soon and October baseball will be a regular thing in Houston for years to come.![]()
That is definitely cool...
Last night Javier Brackamonte #85, a Houston Astros bullpen catcher showed an unbelievable act of class and sportsmanship. After the game was over, he dug in his giant bag of gear and basically emptied it throwing stuff to all the kids. He threw them his hat, batting gloves, his chest protector, his chin guards, tootsie pops and every baseball he could find which was about 25 balls.. When he was done he threw his bag over his shoulder, clapped for all of us and wished us good luck the rest of the way. It was so cool to see someone showing kids how it's supposed to be done. I was sitting there just shocked. After getting heckled all night he showed us what he is all about.. What a great guy. I'll definitely be rooting for him from now on.
The dude abides.
I hated that Houston (who I'm rooting for long-term because of both steeler and their all-in analytics philosophy) had to play KC (who I'm rooting for more obvious reasons), but at least one of them made it to the ALCS, lol.
Go Royals!

Ha ha! For the record I am a Tigers fan #1 but have jumped on the Blue Jay bandwagon. Canada's team right now for sure.
Personal note. A good friend of mine was actually drafted by the Yankees 24 years ago in the 11th round. Jason Wuerch. Played with Jeter, Pettitte , Rivera boys and some others briefly in the minors. He never made it past A ball and was released after 5 years but it was cool to go to his first Tiger game back home when the Yankees were in town and see him chat with some old teammates near the field. He was a very clean cut kid and some of the guys on his team were pigs lol. He could never adjust to that lifestyle.
On a personal note, I grew up with Pettitte. He's 2 years older but was a grade ahead in school because he failed a grade in elementary school.
