OT: Stros win 106

[LongfellowDrew]

^^^^^this x a million.

Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver must be turning in their graves.

Juan Marichal, Sandy Koufax, Orel Hershiser, and Jack Morris are shaking their heads.

I like Dusty Baker but this is bs. I mean it's the f****** World Series!!! I wasn't even born the last time there was a no hitter in the World Series and you want to take that away from him?

To rest him? It's the end of the season!!! He'll be fine.

The pitch count has bastardized baseball.

Look if we had a possible sweep going against Philly maybe but it's the WS not regular season. We've already seen they can make comebacks and win in our house. The kid is young he may have another chance before his career ends. I believe he already threw one against the Stanks.

Man when it's the World Series, the end of the season a great pitcher doesn't worry about some pitch count when he's got an off-season to recuperate. Besides no hitters are hard to come by.

But I'm old school and I have a hard time accepting this. It's why I don't follow baseball till the playoffs.

I guess the current baseball has passed me by.

If Dusty leaves him in there and we lose...Dusty would be buried in the H.

As LFD mentioned, if it were the last game and he had a no-hitter, sure leave him in and let him get it, but it's all about winning the series. It's not about a pitcher getter the accolades for a no-no with games left to be played. By limiting him on his pitches, he absolutely can be called on if needed in game 6 or 7. I promise you that he doesn't give a damn about not getting the NH. He wants a ring more than credit for a NH.

Man, Peña is not playing like a rookie.
We have missed a couple run scoring opportunities, but pitching has been outstanding, like all year. The true talent difference between the two teams is starting to show.

 

[Oldmanastro]

Ballgame! Back to Houston to clinch!

 

[LongfellowDrew]

McCormick doesn't make that catch well let's say things wouldn't be looking good.

 

[GuaranteedFresh!]

That was too stressful. God I love Fall ball!

 

[LonghornMM]

One win away!

 

[BringBackRoyal]

2-3-2 is such a garbage format, but at least the Astros will get to win it at home .

 

[freeper]

That was one helluva ballgame.....what a catch by McCormick....

Yes, and Pena is becoming my favorite player pretty quick.

 

[LongfellowDrew]

Peña the Jet! He looks like the kid from Sand Lot.

 

[Tired Horn]

"put me in coach" Chas had great play in the 9th. we need lights out from Framber Saturday. I'm still worried because the key bullpen guys have been exposed a lot. would love a big lead to lower the stress level for the bullpen

 

[Oldmanastro]

Dammit, I can’t post a picture of a McCormick statue next to a Rocky Balboa statue in philly of him making his catch.

 

[LongfellowDrew]

Well the last game I went to we won. Just got an invite to game 6! Let's go Stros!!

Funny thing is I drank a shit load of tequila last night thinking it was going to be a couch and Stros night. Need to put my game face on!

 

[Oldmanastro]

Gurriel out of last two games and replaced on the roster.

What a night/morning! Bring on the parade!! I maybe drunk all week.

We had 3 Philly fans in our area that left after it turned 4-1. Only person I saw get dragged in handcuffs was 20 something male Astros fan. The beers were flowing and the atmosphere was on fire! I got high fived by so many strangers and people were all smiles. These are the days I wish would always stay.
