OT: The Other Sports Thread IX - Go Astros go!

[GoodKiwi]

I've no feeling for tonight's game either, but, either way, it's a must-watch IMO.

The Braves are the ones I truly hated back then, I could live with the Phillies and the Pirates but those damn Braves man, every freaking year

True. But now, it`s actually the team I probably follow the closest. I love what they`ve done in the past 2-3 seasons. Really good fun young team they have once again!

It's a tough call. Washington had the best record in the MLB over the final several weeks. I'd give their pitching a slight edge tonight, based on starters, but if it goes to the bullpens early, Houston gets my nod.

Hitting is pretty close, but I'm taking the experience and defence of Houston as the deciding factor.

Since May 23rd WAS had the best record in the entire MLB I believe.

I disagree on hitting. Houston's lineup is much, much deeper than the one of WAS. Correa is hitting 7th in it!

Now, that's not to say everyone in it has been hitting well this post-season, but the same applies to the Nats save for 2 players.

I predict a close game. That probably means it will be landslide.

 

[LeHab]

Flip a coin, anything can happen.

 

[peate]

Nats playing with fire, lucky to be down only 1. Get that pitcher outa there.

 

[GoodKiwi]

With Greinke out there the Astros could rest their middle infielders defensively.

I was hoping he'd get all three outs. Now, why is no one warming up for Washington? Hey manager, it's the 7th game and your starter is shaky at best.

It's Scherzer dude. Plus WAS BP is a complete disaster. Unless you throw Strasburg out there for an inning or two I don't trust anyone in it.

It's game 7. They'll go with their best.

True, just like Cole is going to come in for the Astros. At least he's on a two day rest where as Strasburg pitched last night.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Great hit!

Even your best can falter. I just don't trust him, and he just gave up another run.

 

[Michelangelo]

Let’s go expos!

win it for the franchise!

 

[peate]

Masterful pitching by Greinke, they're not even coming close to hitting his pitches.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Harris owned second night in a row.

 

[GoodKiwi]

NOW, it gets really interesting as to what the Nats are going to do for the rest of the game pitching-wise.

Unless they blow it wide open here that is.

 

[Michelangelo]

WOWWWWWWWW

INCREDIBLE

THIS IS WHY

SPORTS RULE

 

[Le Tricolore]

f*** this. sports suck

 

[GoodKiwi]

**** this. sports suck

Should HOU lose Hinch is gonna eat shit for this. Leaving Greinke in third time through the lineup and going Harris over Cole.

 

[ArtPeur]

It will be funny if all wins come from away games

Has never happened in any "best of 7" post-season series of MLB, NHL or NBA.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Superb outing by Corbin. His slider was working tonight. Looks like ex-Blue Jay Hudson will have the bottom of the 8th.

Go Expos! Beat those Asstros.
