Game Thread: 2023 MLB Playoffs

I remember that Astrodome display from going to games with my father in 1969.

I think I remember it from the Bad News Bears movie where they were chanting "Let them play!"

 

[selmaborntidefan]

and you were too young to have seen Braves Legend Pat Jarvis pitch. But you maybe were old enough to see the Legend Bob Horner play.

Those idiots hate themselves.
Quite frankly, if you had a choice between living in Philadelphia or Libya under Kadafi, it's not even a close call.

You set up in Tripoli.

That is all…..

I remember taking the “Astrodome tour” as a kid in the early 1970’s. And Alabama playing Oklahoma to a 24-24 tie in the 1970 “Astro Bluebonnet Bowl”.

Harris County and Houston renovated the Astrodome in the late '80s to add seats across the outfield and removed the display. That was designed to keep the Oilers happy so they wouldn't move to Jacksonville. It worked so well that they moved to Nashville a few years later!

I saw Steve McNair and Eddie George at Dave and Busters after the move to Nashville was announced. They were questioning if the women in Nashville had a full set of teeth. They weren't happy about the move.

 

[Go Bama]

Regardless of who you were for yesterday, we saw two classic baseball games.

Of the teams that are left, I'm pulling for the Astros.

The one with McNair apparently had a gun though.

Astros' Bryan Abreu appeals two-game ban, pitches in Game 6

Astros reliever Bryan Abreu appealed a two-game suspension for hitting the Rangers' Adolis Garcia with a 99 mph fastball during Game 5 of the ALCS, and was able to pitch in Game 6 Sunday, a 9-2 loss.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would Abreu have chosen to hit Garcia given the situation? I've seen a lot of batters get plunked the next time the teams meet in the regular season, but never in this crucial a situation.

[CrimsonTheory]

I am not looking forward to another Houston/Philly world series BUT seeing the Phillies lose two straight world series will be entertaining. On the flip side, the Astros continue to win annoys the bejesus out of me, especially since 2017 should have be stripped.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I want to go on the record that not only do I not think that Abreu threw at him intentionally the other night, but even if he did, this suspension like the suspensions that were handed out for Burt Campaneris in 1972 or for Roberto Alamar in 1996, should have nothing at all to do with the postseason.

For the 4th game in a row, I haven't watched the first inning. Good karma

Then as soon as I turn it on...............

 

[selmaborntidefan]
