I hate the fucking Astros. I mean, to be clear, I hate the Yankees more. But I really hate the Astros too.

It's like hating a snake for being a snake. They are what they are. And the fact that I watch this shit is not their fault, but mine. But, fuck, man, just hit the fucking ball. But, they won't. Because they are what they are. But fuck them. The Astros, I mean. Fuck them.

Is that just the Astros or any team that goes in the tank, at least offensively, after cleaning our clock?

Either way, nice rant.

Personally, I don't mind if teams tank offensively after "cleaning our clock," but I mind very much when said tanking occurs against the mfy.
Right. I would have no problem if they were tanking like this even after cleaning our clock if they were doing it against the Indians.

I was just thinking the Yankees were lucky Sanchez wasn't back there because he never would have caught ball 1 and then that lol

Game is 0-0, Astros up 2-1 in the series, and all I'm reading about is how the Astros are choking. WTF?
I don't know about choking, but they have 7 guys out of 9 below the Mendoza line, three of whom are hitting .000, one of whom is hitting .077, and one of whom is hitting .125.

After being a dominant offensive team.

This fucking series is there for the taking.

They are pissing me off.

And shut up, you. Don't deprive me the right to be pissed.

If they don't score in the next two at-bats you should be very pissed.

They have 16 hits in 32 innings, so that means they project to get a half a hit in the remainder of this inning.

Maybe that will be good enough for a run and they will only lose 3-1.

Don't do it, Boil. Don't get excited.

Don't. You. Fucking. Do. It.

They are the Astros.
They are the Astros.
They are the Astros.

Deep breaths. Don't let them fool you.

What's infuriating to me is the Astors lead MLB in what, 9 offensive categories and here they sit scoring a whopping 4 runs in three plus games/33 innings so far vs the MFY's.

It's not like they are facing the 1971 LET'S GO O'S!! here.

They need to start squaring up some pitches or else................
