Anyone else watching the game tonight? (Please don't get into all the 2017 ugliness. It's been debated endlessly, and here we all are - the Astros are still one of the very best teams in baseball for several years running. Houston loves them and isn't going to stop.) I wish the Braves luck, but not too much.  Should be an entertaining series. |

We are (obvs). Just trying to plan out logistics. I'm downtown right now, but I have to catch the bus out to Katy to pick up my car from the dealership. HOping my drive back into town won't be too much of a nightmare. My boss and other co-worker are both going to the game, so I'm a little jelly right now.

We've been watching the playoff games and will def be watching the series. We had wanted Boston to win and started out thinking they would, but Astros were so amazing in their comeback that we had to respect them.
I'm not much of a baseball fan, but we always enjoy watching the playoffs and world series.

It’s a tough one for me! I live in west Houston. Before moving to Houston a diehard Braves fan for at least 40 years. We’ve lived here over 20 years, so go ‘stros ! But also go Braves! For me it’s a win either way👍

We're trying to find the best way for us to watch now. The campground we are in has so many trees we can't get satellite and there are no OTA channels. We've figured out how to stream MLB TV on the iPad but, we're hoping to be able to send it to the big TV.
Go Astros!!!

Definitely watching. I was down at GRB all day today and left about 4:30. It was getting crazy down there! I'm checking in at the Hilton tomorrow and am hoping for a win. It's always a blast down there if we win! Do you have tickets to any of the games @merge? Lifelong Dodgers fan. I do not care for the Astros. That's okay. We were rooting for Atlanta to win the National League!  |

I was literally griping to DH that I wanted Rosario to start off and hit a home run to quiet the crowd when Soler did just that. I feel that had a big impact on the game.
Losing Charlie is going to be rough, it helps that Luke seemed to find his stride again. But ouch. I bet we are going to see Max on short rest, because I have no doubts this series is going longer than 4 games. As hot as the Astros were last week with the Red Sox I think there is no way they don’t come back from the loss and the poor at bats tonight ready to go. I think Game 2 will be much more competitive.
Question for those of you following that series. How was the Red Sox pitching? Because y’all put up some freaking amazing (and intimidating) numbers.

We will be visiting Houston this weekend for Parents Weekend at my son's university, and we bought tickets to the viewing party at Minute Maid Park for Friday night. I don't really care about either team in the series, but I think it will be a fun experience.

Cheering on our Canadian connections in Atlanta- Alex Anthopoulos and Freddie Freeman. Let's go Braves!! And don't forget Atlanta's always-injured ace pitcher Mike Soroka! They always leave him out when they talk about Atlanta’s losses for the year. Yes, we lost our star player and one of the league’s best in Acuna. But also didn’t get back an ace pitcher in Soroka, lost our catcher for months on end, and a 2nd outfielder and silver slugger in Ozuna. I feel bad for the players that their losses are sort of just glossed over. (Well, not Ozuna. He can take a long walk off a short pier.) Anyway, I think they’ve overcome more than they’re given credit for.*** ***Speaking of, do any Dodgers fans have a clue what Dave Roberts was referring to in his post game 5 interview when he slyly mentioned that they’ve been through something this year that they didn’t talk about and shouldn’t have talked about? I thought it was really odd that he even brought it up. |
