I loathe both teams, but look at the cup half-full: hey, at least one of these teams has to LOSE, and given the first two games and the annoying-ass who regularly trolls here, I confess I was disappointed to click on this thread and not be immediately greeted with a media guide photo of Yordan Alvarez, smiling.

‘Cuz, ya know…SEA didn’t draft him of some asinine thing like that. As if that’s effective rhetoric.

Anyway, it’s not too late to troll the tooty troll. It’s not my style, but I wouldn’t mind if someone else did it.

I think that, at this point, it’s clear that the only reason the 2017 Astros were any good was cheating. Obviously all the players from that team have taken a huge step back since trashvideo was banned and none of the players the Astros have had come up since are all that good. If they were, the Astros would be totally manhandling teams in the regular season and the play offs.

Oh.

Come Assholes. Finish off Jer Jer so you can go smack tough ass Nue Yawk in the mouth and “rob” them of another sure fire destined to happen World Series win.

Then lose to the Padres…. or Phils…. or Braves. The Dodgers can all catch typhus from their urban environment like 1820s peasants in Bohemia.

Barry Bonds would still have been a great hitter without PEDs, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a cheater.

The Astros might have been good enough to win the 2017 WS without cheating, but they are still cheaters, most of whom didn’t even bother to issue a real apology.

I can’t stand Bonds and his fellow roids users, but I believe baseball has a rich history of cheating that was accepted and/or even encouraged. I remember my high school baseball team we tried to steal signs, I remember some or our pictures putting stuff on the ball. The saying was “if you are not cheating you are not trying” this was 1970 to 1973 when I played HS ball. So I don’t really understand all the upset with the Astros stealing signs, they just got better at it than other teams.

Seattle fans, concerned that the Seahawks game will move to later Sunday because of the ALDS, probably can relax

I would not count Seattle out yet. Yes, I definitely want them to lose, but it is not out of the question that they could win three straight games.

Nice job Stro’s! Jer-Jer is on the verge of extinction.

When I see JRod play in the playoffs (tbf, only 2 playoff series yet so far), I think about what could have been with Trout had the team been competent enough to get him consistently in the playoffs.

When your husband has a second cup of coffee at a friends house do you wonder what you’re doing wrong and get all sad about it cause he never has a second cup at home?

Trout’s done plenty to help himself not be in the post season.

I think he’s done alot more to help himself be there more than once but to no avail.

the mariners are my least favorite franchise by far, even worse than Boston –

its about Scotty as much as Jerry – you know how Scotty has that face the looks miserable all the time? he had that same face whenever i’d see him around those backfields in Tempe in February years ago. Very negative vibe – i thought maybe if some one finally let him wear a uniform, it’d go away. but nope, every time you see scotty, its like someone just pissed in his cheerios.
jerry is simpler – my dad always said to me ‘quitters never win, winners never quit.’ ive always been a big Scioscia fan – Mike took care of Jer like Nolie took care of Ventura lol

the other thing about the Ms is they are Losers. Hell even texas has been to the WS lol.

but yes i do feel very slutty rooting for Houston

We are not rooting “FOR” the Astros. We are merely rooting AGAINST Seattle. In the next series we will root AGAINST the Astros again and all will be right in the world when all are eliminated.

That whole thing where Soth wouldn’t let Servais wear a uniform is absolutely priceless drama. Soth smelled a rat right away.

Is Yordan Alvarez the best hitter in baseball right now?

he is to 2022 Mariners what 2004 Big Ploppy was to the Angels.

He’s weird. It seems like he has a monster inside him that asks “is this a moment where we can crush a teams hopes of winning today?” and if the answer is yes then he crushes a ball that could kill children in the stands. It just seems like every time I see an update where the Astros take the lead all season it’s Alvarez (the Latin Walsh) looking sullen as he rounds the bases and seals a teams fate.

Actually it is a series where I will be happy with whichever team loses. ONE of them will bite the dust.

Yes. Astros. Yes. Mariners eat poo poo. Seattle people declare poop a healthy source of protein with a small carbon footy. Space > Ocean.
