Props to the Sox last night for bitch slapping Houston.
Call it what it is though, an anomaly.

It's baseball, shit happens, White Sox, a team that couldn't hit little league right handed pitching, did a great job of it last night. Chalk eaters got crushed last night.

I can't see it happening twice in a row.
It could, but I doubt it.

Rondon is a shitty lefty, even without Correa in the lineup that team still crushes left handed pitching.
Even punch and Judy Aoki hits lefties. Altuve is a LHP killer, Springer loves LHP, Bregman.....

Peacock, (he said Peacock) is a K machine, even though White Sox cranked it up last night, fact of the matter is they cant hit right handed pitching.

Houston has a major match up advantage here.

This is just my opinion, it's a message board, where opinions are supposed to be heard.
You don't have to bet it, you don't have to fade it, I seriously think this is a no contest.

If I'm wrong, so be it, want to pile on if I'm wrong, you know where to find me.

Houston all night.

I don't like to lay -150, but I'll use Houston in a couple a parlays.
I will play 1 unit +110 run line.
Team total it 5 1/2, that's a tough nut, I'll lay off there.

Good luck fellas.

[DwightShrute]

agreed.

13-3 Houston

[Philmill]

On Houston aswell..... lets cash this one Steve....

[Jay85]

I'm on Houston as well

-160 is a steal.

[actiondan]

The Astros think its 2005.

I walked in, it was -145, got some dinner, it was -150, bet it there, now it's -152.
My homeboys Fairfield Connecticut Americans (little league) just keeps getting it done.
One win away from the LLWS again.

They await the winner of New Hampshire vs. Maine tomorrow at lunch time.
I follow this shit, Maine can't hang with New Hampshire tomorrow.
Thing is those LL games are juiced.

Absolutely. Cumberland squad was weak this year. Thought we'd see them and Fairfield again for the title. Mass disappointed too. I live close to Holden MA and they were expected to do more than go 2 and out. Fairfield looks like they can compete at the llws. Haven't seen much in the southwest or Southeast regions. Have seen much stronger teams out of Texas and Georgia/Tennessee than this year's winners. West semis tonight should be interesting as always with Hawaii and So Cal.

[stevenash]

Angel (Hernandez) is squeezing both pitchers.
He's making both pitchers throw strikes.

Nice, gift error.
'Stros set up nice here.

I'm in Fairfield Ct. we take all baseball real serious. Randanzo could manage at the NCAA level.
New Hampshire gives me nightmares, twice they kept us out of the WS, 2008 (I think it was 2008) we were stacked, then we had to play Texas, forget about it, they crushed Fairfield. But yeah, the Mass kids have talent, they underachieved, but hey, they're 12 year olds.
Take a look at the major league rosters, check out how many played at UConn, Springer hit 46 homers at UConn, Harvey is from Connecticut, he would have pitched for UConn, but North Carolina played dirty, they offered him a full scholarship with all the bells and whistles, UConn could only give him a partial scholarship.

Houston we have a problem

[stevenash]

Houston we have a problem

400 left on base in 5 innings is not getting it done, and Chi-Town is trying to gift the 'Stros this game.
Peacock doing his part, he's solid tonight, not razor sharp, but solid.

Bregman has shit for brains, no way any coach gave him that steal sign.

OK, Reddick with a lead off single.
Here comes a DP

[mackave]

Run starved

[jjgold]

Houston is definitely starting to slip and seem very beatable now

[StackinGreen]

The Astros think its 2005.

[mackave]

RL done, Bol straight up

[stevenash]

And a DP turns into a first and third.

I'm sweating out what should be a no brainer.

Watch what happens now, ground ball to infield, Houston goes for the DP and game is tied.

Mark my words.

[stevenash]

Tremendous job by Gregorson!
Not good, but great!
So clutch. That drop pitch was devastating.

As good as it gets.
2 punch outs with a IBB sandwiched in.
Game on the line too boot.

[Shute]

Nash with you here bro
Need a win

[B4IFURU18]

You should win this but stros are struggling losing 2 out of 3 series not the best time to back them. I know its the whitesox and they suck. But stros arent playing good at all. Bad form. Maybe when Correa gets back they dominate again?

[Jay85]

Not the blow out most thought but I'd gladly take a 2-1 victory .

Let's get these last 3 outs !

Marwin has done a nice fill in job at SS, but they miss Correa.

[jjgold]

This is too close to call it's never easy

[B4IFURU18]

Bregman has been playing SS and he had a big error vs Rays that cost them the game other night.

[stevenash]

Yeah, got parlays straight up, and a single unit on run line.

Now this is what I find extremely curious.
I was watching the line the last 20 minutes before first pitch.

Game line held steady at -152 for the last 20 minutes.
But the run line went from even (+100) to +110

I said to myself, "watch this game end up Houston winning by a run"

What's the score now?
2-1

I suppose some sharp whales hammered Chicago +1.5 to make the run line move like that.
But the game line holds rock steady at -152 and magically the run line moves a dime with about 12 minutes before first pitch

Hmmmmmmm

[paco]

Needed a hit there. Just hoping they can hold on with the save

[stevenash]

Bregman has been playing SS and he had a big error vs Rays that cost them the game other night.

I understand that, Marwin has been all over.
21 games at SS
20 games at 1B
17 games at 3B
11 games at 2B

Yet they list him as OF, how exactly does that work?

[unde0087]

nasher, i thought the same, Astros got embarrassed by the shittiest team in the AL, they completely fell apart in this series, couldn't score a fukin run. RL unless it goes to extras again destroyed. Pathetic

[stevenash]

Baseball America's #1 prospect hits a solo job.
Sucks for me and us, but as a baseball fan I'm proud of the kid.

That's a memory he'll take to his grave.

Now having said that, Giles sucks monkey balls.

[paco]

Wow

[unde0087]

Astros, single handedly took me from 1st place to 20th in the august contest in this series, fuk me

[stevenash]

Of course the piece of shit K's big boy Abreu

[Shute]

Lol
Can't make this up

[stevenash]

There's a reason why Pittsburgh could't jettison Giles fast enough.

I got the extra innings package, got the CSN feed, I can't stand another inning of Steve Stone.
Almost as bad as Hawk Harrelson.

Holy mother of gawd I wanna puncture my ear drums with a bic pen while bludgeoning my temple with a spade shovel.

And to add insult to injury my beloved Royals blow a 3-0 lead and lose 8-6, no I didn't bet them, but would have loved to see one last run before Mr. Glass and Dayton Moore sell off the expensive pieces.

Lorenzo Cain will be the first to go.
Herrera will be the second to go.
He better keep Moose, Sal Perez is an untouchable.
Moose is the power supply, Hosmer is not Hall of Fame, but he sells tickets, KC fans love Hoss.
Gordon is locked up, his bat disappeared two years ago.
Whit Merrifield is totally legit. Escobar's glove is strong, his bat is so soft though, I don't think there's a buyer for him.

Stanton hits #39, he's such a beast.
deGrom was electric again, if I'm deGrom I'm going up to Alderson and saying "get me out of the hell hole"

So I suppose Boston is the team to beat now in the AL, or the Indians at 60-52 become legit contenders to represent the AL in the classic.
Or is still Houston?

I guess Sonny Gray coming into to NY on a white pony to save the day isn't exactly working out, huh?

OMFG would you shut the fuk up you half a hump gas bag Steve Stone.

[DaveAaron]
