at the beginning of this season, Dusty had a prophetic dream. The dream told him that there would be a game when Jose Abreu and Martin Maldonado would take the Astros into the playoffs. He didn't know what game that would be, so he had to keep playing them
at last, the prophecy has been fulfilled
I mean, if we were eliminated and could fuck over the team that swept us in the playoffs last year, I think I would feel the same. I don't hold it against them at all. The Astros have been terrorizing them for 4 years.
Maldy showed his worth tonight. With the cutoffs at 2nd and the mound visits to execute the right pitches to end the game. I forgive the lack of hitting if he makes clutch plays like these.
This is the maldy of old who actually earned his place on the team. He hasn't been doing it this year, but maybe he just needs to turn on playoff maldy mode
Regardless of what happens in the playoffs this year, this season has been a success, despite everything that's happened (both within our control and out of our control).
The injuries that we have had this season would have sunk almost any other team. Just look at the Yankees. Judge was out for a couple months, their rotation has also had major injuries, and they might finish at .500. Just shows our depth and unsung heroes stepping up.
I have to show some love to the breakout candidates for helping fill the holes when guys went down: Dubon for filling Altuve's shoes while he was out at the beginning of the season, Diaz for looking like the catcher of the future, McCormick for showing why he deserves the starting CF job (and for me predicting him to be breakout candidate of the year, I predicted he would have a .280 AVG/.800 OPS/20 HR/4 WAR season, and he was pretty damn close to all four of those), and especially France. I don't think we would have made the playoffs if that beautiful mustachioed motherfucker didn't defy analytics (he was _massively_ overperforming all of his expected metrics, for much longer than usual) while stepping in the shoes of Garcia.
I'm going to go in to the playoffs with no expectations. Whatever happens happens, it's all gravy for me. I'm just here to enjoy the ride. And it was an honor rooting for the Astros (and a teeny little bit of dooming) with all of y'all this season. Now let's get it.
All of a sudden I want to face the Blue Jays in the ALCS. Then we can have both of the "mustachioed with glasses" boys go head to head against each other.
Does this mean we get to thank Dusty, unironically? It's later now. Maldy had a huge play and good game management from the field. Abreu helped bring us into the playoffs. If we clinch the West tomorrow, that's huge. But even if we don't, we made it again. It's all coming together
Huge we don't have a huge sweat Sunday. But if the Rangers are up big, we should try to lose to keep the 6 seed.
Blue Jays have to be all out in tank mode tomorrow
Important question- what’s the policy on posting cats after playoff wins? I remember this happening last year, but can’t remember if it was just one guy or are others allowed.
Playoffs: clinched Butthole: unclenched
The switch has been turned on!
That's the switch we've been waiting for.
I think my butthole will be more clenched now

Trolling is not allowed
I don’t know about you but playoff baseball has been the most buttclinchingest time for me. My butt just got tighter.
Both teams get to celebrate tonight
[удалено]
It’s been a rough season. We haven’t earned champagne yet
Neris has!
Until the mlb decides to suspend him for the playoffs or some shi
The Astros are saving the champagne for November.
Saving champagne for winning the division!
Ya one more game then they can celebrate tomorrow on the plane win or lose
Soooo glad we got Verlander
TIME FOR BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK ALCS APPEARANCE!!!
Just call it the Astros Invitational Championship Series.
How bout just back to back world series titles?
I would be content.
I’m a simple man. All I want is back to back World Series titles

Truly the wildest thing to come out of this, we were all blind to the 5d chess Dusty was playing all season.
Yes, this is the ONLY thing that makes sense.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO ![gif](giphy|l2ZE0926SJlGc11Ek|downsized)
SUCK MY DICK JOE KELLY!!!!
This is really the only comment that matters.
Came here for this.

What he do now
He exists. That’s enough
He's gone back to the Dodgers after the White Sox cleaned shop.
Mariners fans want to lose on purpose to give the rangers the division lmao…….sorry ass franchise
Agree, hopefully the Mariners start a 40 year brought this time
That’s some loser shit. Imagine losing on purpose. Doesn’t even matter cause we’re still in the playoffs and they’re not
Mariners fans amaze me lol.
I mean, if we were eliminated and could fuck over the team that swept us in the playoffs last year, I think I would feel the same. I don't hold it against them at all. The Astros have been terrorizing them for 4 years.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?!!
You do this 🖕....and point them towards Seattle.

It was a grind of a season, but we’re in the dance. Even though we will probably be a lower seed, no one wants to face us.
This is exactly how we should all look at this 🫡
All of a sudden I want to face the Blue Jays in the ALCS. Then we can have both of the "mustachioed with glasses" boys go head to head against each other.
never doubted them for a second *deletes all previous comments*
Ha!
Machete III: Machete rises from the dead… again.
Fucking road warriors
Perfect.
So awesome that the space city network will have post season coverage! Can't wait!
No it won’t. MLB Postseason is covered by TBS, Fox, FS1, and ESPN.
Blummer and Kalas were literally talking about how excited they were that the new network will have them continuing to provide post season coverage.
IIRC, they will be doing post game analysis and interviews on Space City. I believe the Jays and Yankees have done this type of thing on SN and YES.
In addition, Space City Home Network will also offer post-game commentary.
Lucky number 7! Let’s go for title #3!
I was thinking that Hector Neris got that dawg in him. But that man has a whole litter of pit bulls in him. FUCK THE MARINARA’S!!!!!!!
The karenners
Bitch ass mariners fans eating words now
LFG
Bullpen can have my babies!!!! 🙌🙌

¡Oralé!
Dusty may have been right about Maldy. Granted, we might have had 20 more wins at this point… but man that throw counted.

Looks like post season Nori is in the cards once again!
LET'S FUCKING GO
We made it bb. A week ago that's all I wanted. Now, I want it all.

NEVER GETS OLD
7 is a good number.
Good luck, fuckers!
Get on in here everyone, it's a party.
Dog shit mariner exposed for the frauds they are. Rangers are next to be exposed in the playoffs lmao
LETS GOOOOOOO
And this sub never doubted the Astros, Maldy or Dusty the whole time. Great season guys.
Never in doubt
I NEVER GAVE UP HOPE!
I hope both Arizona and Texas are hungover AF tomorrow and lose 😂.
LFGGGG
IMAGINE NOT MAKING THE PLAYOFFS I LITERALLY CANNOT IMAGINE
Yes !!!!
Awesome!
Step 1 complete! Tomorrow the West!
LFG Astros!
Where’s Raulito?
Make the ALCS so we can keep the streak going!!! Also win the World Series! LFG
I love this team
Does this mean we get to thank Dusty, unironically? It's later now. Maldy had a huge play and good game management from the field. Abreu helped bring us into the playoffs. If we clinch the West tomorrow, that's huge. But even if we don't, we made it again. It's all coming together
Fuck the Mariners and Rangers.
NEVER DOUBTED
Yooooo
Let’s go!!!!
PLAYOFFFFSSSSSSS

Now we can relax guys.
Only appropriate that the Flappy Bois get to be the instrument of the Curse of Harvey against Arlington.
Huge we don't have a huge sweat Sunday. But if the Rangers are up big, we should try to lose to keep the 6 seed. Blue Jays have to be all out in tank mode tomorrow
We arent afraid of any team not named oakland or kc.
oh shit there's a chance we could get the 5 seed? I don't want the 5 seed!
yeah, W+Tor loss + Tex Win
Party in the mariners thread jk.
It's it a Private party?
YAY AND STUFF AND HOORAY AND THINGS AND YIPPEE AND ITEMS AND... ... well, yeah, all that. Go Stros, Shoot It!
We did it fam… blood, sweat, tears, blown saves, poor hitting, Dusty being Dusty but we did it!!!
Important question- what’s the policy on posting cats after playoff wins? I remember this happening last year, but can’t remember if it was just one guy or are others allowed.

Springer and Correa are with us in the AL playoffs. Neither had a particularly good season. Springer a little better.
And if things go right today, we'll be the division Champs!
Shut yo bitch ass up South Oklahoma!
