Let's hope Framber can succeed where JV horribly failed.

If the Astros lose another WS I will have to disappear from the internet for a while.

If the Astros lose another WS I will have to disappear from the internet for a while. That can be easily accomplished just by taking a stroll in North Philly.

Back to my earlier comment that Young , Hungry, and Mean beats Experience and Complacency 2 out of 3 times. Every time.

Here is what I am hoping. 2017 WS we lose game 1 and Springer does nothing. The fan base is pleading to take George out of the lead off spot. We know what happens after that. Astros win in 7 and Springer catches fire and wins WS MVP.
Astros in 7. Altuve catches fire.

Considering the circumstances, I am not sure 2017 ought or should be the benchmark of expectations or "end result"

Winning 8 straight playoff games wasn’t going to be easy. We took our first playoff last in 2022. Come back resilient and win 4 straight. Go Stros!

Everybody wants to blame Verlander but remember the Game was tied when he went out. Where was the Offense to pick up the slack from inning 4 to inning 10? A bid no-show like they did repeatedly during the season and they depended on the Pitching to hold the fort. Yes, Verlander had a bad showing but they were tied when he went out.
Unless the missing offense shows up, right now Philly has shown more resilience than our pathetic offense. Then again it doesn't help that Dusty keeps putting in an offense that has shown up since before the regular season ended.

When you blow a 5-0 lead, there should be a mission to scratch and claw and get at least one more run across to give the relief something to save. Nope, just swing away at awful crap and hope for a homer. They already had TWO from Tucker. Just lazy strategy. Altuve stole a base. Where was that from Tucker? It’s just amazing the lack of urgency in which they operate. This was a complaint I had in the Hinch Era, and it still remains true under the Dusty Regime.

I put too much faith in JV being back and finally having a dominant WS. Those first three innings made it seem like I was right. Then... devastated.

If the Astros don’t trade for (Reynolds?)… or sign… (Nimmo) a full-time CFer this offseason, they desperately need to get a platoon partner for Chas. A couple days ago I made this suggestion to Anthony Franco at MLBTR and got this response:
“Anoldcoot 9:05 Jose Urquidy for Jake McCarthy. Who says no?
Anthony Franco 9:06 I like this one”

I don’t think there is any hope for Mancini. He spent so many years losing in Baltimore that I think he just became accustomed to being a loser and expects to fail.

There was no predicting such an utter collapse for such a long time now.

Becks Prime chili with parmesan garlic crisp sounds good for tonight. If the Astros win, I'll have that for every remaining WS game
