I would be remiss if I didn't mention that my childhood ended today in 1986.

I've watched versions of this game way too much. My one takeaway if you choose to watch this condensed version is that Rafael Santana was an incredibly bad shortstop.





I cut class at A&M that day as my friends dad had tickets. We stayed for the entire 16 innings and it was a miserable drive back to College Station that evening.

I vowed to never attend an Astros playoff game; and I have kept that promise. I could never forgive my sports karma if I went to a playoff game and we lost. Again.

These LCS series have been snoozefests. Very little fight from the losing teams.

The ALCS is currently the scene of a murder. Goodness.

I feel you. I went to the extra innings WS game in 2005. I swore I'd never go to another Astros WS game again.

The first game of both LCSs were fun compelling games but has been downhill since.

OK, maybe the Jays are not going to just rollover.

That ball Vlady hit was an absolute rope to the LF wall. Anyone have the exit velocity?

Switched to Shiner for a Bluejay rally brew. It worked.

This game quickly became a dud but it looks like we might actually have a series now.

Does anyone know if the Astros new city connect hats come in youth sizes? Can't seem to find any online. Maybe just not looking in the correct place.

Hopefully Toronto doesn't have a 10 run curse like us

Per Ari

The MLB Qualifying Offer amount has been set: $22,025,000

Framber Valdez is likely to get one.
He is also likely to turn it down and go into free agency.
If Framber Valdez signs elsewhere, the Astros would receive a draft pick between the 4th and 5th round.

I figured it would be a higher pick than that.

Also, are we eligible for the draft lottery this year? Or are only certain teams included in it? Since we've never been out of the playoffs since the lottery started, I have no clue how it works.

it would have been a higher pick (2nd or 3rd round I think) but we were a repeat CBT offender.

Got mine off of DHGate, and they had youth sizes
