Astros could beat the Dodgers in the WS for the next 5 years and I'd still pull for them to beat Boston. It's fuck Boston across all sports, and for decades on this side. I'd rather re-sign Kershaw to a 20 year/2 billion dollar deal than pull for a Boston team
I hate Boston sports and their idiot fans. But I hate the Astros more. I’d rather face Boston too so.
The only time I watched Houston this year was the game where they blew us out. And I watched the Red Sox zero times, because aint nobody got time for that.
My worry with the Astros is that they absolutely feast on LHP that throw under 94... which is 75% of our post season rotation. There numbers for that were scary good as a team. I like the Red Sox since everyone will be new to them so there would probably be an adjustment period for their hitters outside of like J.D.
LOL, Bregman almost hit it out of that mickey mouse stadium. That would have been hilarious. My guess is that Astros take 2 of 3 in Houston then seal it game 6. Sox pen has issues and Eovaldi is a big wild card.
I think we could beat Boston, but Houston would smoke us Have to get by Milwaukee of course, but hard not to look ahead
If we make the WS I am rooting to play Boston. If we don't, I don't care who wins. It's a thing like, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to take losing to Houston twice. It's a thing like if we beat Milwaukee and play Houston again, then we better fucking beat Houston too.
Boston has a weak bullpen where even the Yankees came back a few times. Houston has zero holes. Our offense is too HR or nothing, and Wade Fucking Miley has smoked us. I feel if we do make it, we lose either way, but Houston would destroy us. Against Boston, I feel we at least would have a shot.
