If Texas wins can they give home field to the Phillies?

Same thing again. Astros are done. They simply can't win in that building.

Tonnes of credit to Arizona, I can't believe they just won 3 of 4 against Phillies since that 10-0 smashing in game 2.

Love both Houston and Texas running. How the heck the Jays don't do the same this past year was beyond me. Every play it seems like the Astros or Rangers are making the pitcher think. It's as good as a distraction tactic with the pitch clock in place, that every team should be utilizing. To not use it is just dumb.

How about Abreu having his suspension deferred to 2024. Seems like a bit of a joke.

Yeah, MLB is interesting in that regard. Seems odd that they just wouldn't have the hearing, say, tomorrow. Odd.

Well, the Jays and the Astros have one thing in common, and that's a world-class ability to strand runners.

Personally want Texas to whoop them. I also have money on Texas moving on since the start of the playoffs.

Abreu still managed to get into the game throw a fastball at a guys ribs. Kind of a nice little bow on top of that "suspension".

Love the cahones on Bochy pulling Scherzer and putting Montgomery in. Worked out very very well.

Well disappointing end to the season as a ‘Stros fan, just couldn’t get anybody out. The bottom end of the rotation was a concern all year.

Hats off to the Rangers. A crazy roller coaster season for them and they have shown the ability to come back from the dead more than once.

Awesome to see the Rangers move on. Get that cheating, despicable franchise out of the playoffs.

As a life long Rangers fan, I still don't believe it.

The Rangers suffer heartbreak the same way the Flames do.

Maybe, this year? Maybe?

I dunno man. I'm not getting my hopes up. Not after 2011... I just... I can't.

Congrats! It's been a long way back since 2011, you guys have unfinished business. If it's the Phillies, that'll be two redemption stories.

You have home field , unlike 2011

Amen. There's not enough karma in the world to go against that franchise.
