Have you guys noticed a sign behind home plate that says "We Will Not Give Up" next to a Cuban flag? They are showing this constantly during the playoffs.

I looked up the term online and I can't find anything. But it's clearly some kind of agitative propaganda, being subliminally fed to the public. WTF?!?!

Damn, these Astros games have been great. Verlander pitched an incredible game today, Correa and Altuve continue to show why they're awesome, and a bonus shout-out to Josh Reddick for two insane plays that shut down the Yankees.

Oh, also this.

More like Yankees games now Those baby Bombers are awesome.

Last three games have been painful. But if Houston takes advantage of a rest day, being back in their field, and can get their hitters going again, they can still win. All the ingredients are there, they just need to light a spark.

FUCK!! I HATE THE YANKEES! I can't believed they reloaded that team so quickly. FUCK!!

Lets Go Mets!

[stugatz]

I hate both the Yankees and Cubs. I have almost given up hope on Houston winning, though, so a Dodgers-Yankees series would be just fine with me. That's a pretty intense rivalry.

I am still stunned at how fast the Indians choked their lead away.

Where's the LA DODGER BLUE !!!!

FUCK YEAHHHH!!!!

LA DODGERS !!!!

LA BLUE, BABY!!!!!!

Pretty fucking cool seeing the baseball organization you saw growing up, finally make it to the World Series.

Not a sports fanatic, but pretty bad ass.

I thought that the Yankees would be dormant for a long time. Especially after giving up the farm (system) for veteran players for most of the 2000s and George Steinbrenner passing away.

That was an incredible game. From the score it looks like an Astros blowout but there were so many intense moments. Game 7 is going to be wild. Go Astros.

[Gmac]

Let's go Astros!

Damn I move to Houston and shit just takes off...!

[TravelerKai]

FUCK YEAH

[Chowder Head]

Thank God!

[HermeticAlly]

That game was just perfect. And it was so satisfying to see McCullers and Morton - fine pitchers who everybody dismissed - come through with terrific performances. This team earned it, and it feels good. Dodgers won't be easy, but I believe in these guys.

[Diop]

That was fucking AWESOME! I really thought it was over after the sweep in New York last week, but man did they prove me wrong! So proud of this team!!

Hats off to the Yankees for a tough ass series, may there be more between our two teams the future. Looking forward to Tuesday, I like the 'Stros chances though LA will undoubtedly be the favorite.

Once again - ALTUVE = MVP!!!!

What do you guys make of this article on the lack of 'African-American' MLB players?

My take is that black Americans are simply less interested in baseball than other sports like basketball and football, though I certainly can't claim to have any kind of close experience. At first glance I thought this was going to be silly SJW sperging, but towards the end I started to think that I'd rather see more black guys interested in baseball, rather than constantly farming foreign players.

We have already covered this subject.

HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT!!!

Absolutely stunning. Never seen anything like that before. An Astros team that can actually come back from their mistakes, multiple times, in the same game? If any of these many, fantastic playoff games from the Astros have eclipsed the eighteen-inning NLDS against Atlanta in 2005, this was it.

- The much-vaunted Dodgers bullpen can be broken.
- Their much-vaunted closer can be broken.
- The Astros' losing stretch in away games has been broken.
- Springer is fully back in action.
- Altuve and Correa are back in action.
- The team in general is back in action.
- Our relievers can get the job done, even under very hostile circumstances (Devenski needs a lot of love now.)
- A whole lot of smug Hollywood assholes in the stands just had their smiles wiped clean off their faces.

In a single game, the Astros broke through just about every obstacle standing in their way, and they're going back to their home field advantage with everything they learned in these two games. I believe they can do it.

Another great Astros win. But oh wait, don't bother with that! The real story is about how the Astros' Cuban slugger Yuli Gurriel is an evil racist for apparently making fun of opposing pitcher Yu Darvish (who completely blew this game.)

SJWs are idiots. Even though Yuli is as Latin as you can possibly get and probably comes from totally different cultural expectations from the US, the assholes on Reddit are already begging for him to be roasted over the coals. Even Darvish himself shrugged it off.

I was just about to echo what you posted. Thrilled with the win but now all I see from the media is that a Cuban player who has been in the U.S. for all of 15 months and doesn't even speak English is getting tarred and feathered for this? And now there is talk of suspending him?

MLB better be careful with this one. American sports fans have had enough SJW crap from the NFL already and if MLB suspends him from any World Series games because of this, I do think there may be some fan backlash. Maybe not during the World Series and certainly not to the level of what the NFL is now experiencing, but it could eventually catch up to them if they keep pulling this shit.

Anyway, GO STROS.

There was actually a huge amount of Chinese contract workers in Cuba during the 1800s. Maybe he's asian, who knows.

[TigerMandingo]

What a game so far. I also lold when they wheeled out bush sr. With his mouth open, drooling everywhere

[dark_g]

I'm sold, Altuve=MVP

[PapayaTapper]

Instant classic

[Diop]

I can't believe it!!

[HermeticAlly]
