Playoff IGT AL WC: Stros at MFYs

[Frayed Knot]

Chris Archer is a 26 y/o jock essentially making his TV debut in this game and yet he already speaks better and more clearly than half the sports announcers currently in the employ of networks.

I'm going Ma and Pa Pinstripe all the way. It may be the last time I hear John till next spring!

Are the Yanx winning on that station?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

John's been close to getting into Lecture Mode a few times, you know where he shames the MFYs for not executing. But mostly the story is "They haven't scored yet against this guy! How many innings is that now Suzyn?"

[Fman99]

Gomez can still get on his horse and run down a fly ball.

[Frayed Knot]

And the Yanx go to the pen w/LHR Justin Wilson in to start the 6th.
Even with the 2 HRs, I can't think Houston is too sad to see Tanaka go.

3-sniffle through 6� innings. They don't get a few more insurance
runs next inning I'm tuning out 'cause I don't want to... ya know...

[Frayed Knot]

Can't say I'm loving it that Houston pulls Keuchel after just 6 IP (and if you've ever pulled your Keuchel you know how painful that can be)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

"If you asked me if they'd like to take a walk? Oh, BABY, they'd like a walk!"

[Edgy MD]

Dallas Keuchel has beard that could make me root for the Yankees.

[Guest d'Kong76]

The 'stros win, thaaaahhh 'stros, WINnNnNnN!

[Edgy MD]

A ninth-inning Beltran strikeout. Hmmm...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ballgame over. Houston wins!

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta love the in-stadium booing of the home team. Spoiled children acting as if they were denied their birth right.

[MFS62]

If you didn't follow the game on ESPN (like me) you apparently missed some good announcing.

Is this game considered Single Happiness?

Later

[Fman99]

That was awesome.

A Yanqui season-eliminating game is at least a DH all on its own.

But he swung this time - he tried!

[Zvon]

Yay Asstros! They're already shitting on A-Rod. Ha.

[Guest themetfairy]

I guess we won't be the only ones choking on our bile....

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Have a Strohs to celebrate Houston's victory.

Isn't Stroh's a Pennsylvania beer?
I've always been under the impression that Shiner Bock is the quintessential Houston brew. (Shiner, TX is about halfway between Houston and San Antonio)

[Guest themetfairy]

I am suddenly feeling so relaxed about the postseason.

[Zvon]

I hope we don't have to face off against that Keuchel guy down the road.

[G-Fafif]

Stroh's is a Detroit native though now owned by somebody somewhere else.

[Zvon]

I was really impressed by the amount of memes and other graphics that Mets fans put out there on FB after the game, most of them very funny. Mets fans are freakin amazing.

I know the feeling. It's always nice to see the Yankees exit early. This year it has the added benefit of making Mets postseason midweek day games less likely.

I can think of worse things than having the Mets play an American League team this fall.
