Yeah, I don't think this Stros —which is still a very good team— are 2017 Stros.

It's called the anxiety of a fan LOL! Yeah, the Stros is a very good team, but I like ours more —beyond my fandom. Fans usually see the strengths of the rival and the weakness of their team, mostly when the rival is very good one like the Stros. I've been there with the Sox in recent years, but this year is different. Beyond stats, I can see several intangibles who play in our favor. In the end anything can happen, but I really like our chances. Time will tell though.

Sox over Stros all the way.... 1. If I recall well, 4 weeks ago or so, we were over the Stros in RDiff. The thing is, while Cora had been giving up games plus no Sale & no E-Rod in September, Stros had been playing at full capacity. 2. Regarding SP, a healthy Sale is better than Verlader —pitch by pitch. Price is arguably one the best pitchers of the second half, and pitched better than Cole last time; in fact, Cole was kind of lucky —we hit him well. Also, we own Keuchel, remember last time? he was pounded and could be worse. He was lucky too. IMO he is overrated —LOB% and BABIP don’t lie through his career. You know what I think of Porcello, but I’d rather him over Dallas Keuchel any day of the week, and Porcello just pitched a gem against NY. 3. Regarding the BP, if you take out of the equation bums like Pomeranz, Thorn, Cuevas, etc. our BP match them pretty well —not to mention our closer is arguably the best in baseball. 4. Our offense in the top is better with 2 legit MVPs. Mookie- Benny- Pearce- JD-XB is a better nucleo. The bottom, while is a crap shot —if hot— is better as well Kinsler-Nuñez/Devers-JBJ. Also, we have a couple of great utility players in Holt and SWI who have shown that can hit in clutch situations. 5. Regarding Defense, our defense is the best of the majors if you don’t line up Devers. Kinsler at second is vintage Pedroia, and Leon catches very well our top 2 and calls the games like nobody else in the majors. Our CF and RF are gold gloves caliber players. Also, we have the HFA. Said that, I’ll say it again. We will win the WS. So... bring me the Astros or whoever, we are set to win it all.

+1 He pitched very well last start against them.

Price pitched well against HOU last time in Fenway. I’d send him.

I just can’t sleep, my heart is still beating at 100 mph LOL!

Link please!

Thanks Jacko, as always showing class.

Seriously, my heart is about to stop LOL! I

Cora has to pull him out already

Wow

Kimbrel has to throw strikes, plain and simple.

I say, use tech to call strikes. Enough of this BS!

Sale just had to pitch, what? 12 pitches? LOL!

This ump is a disgrace for the league.

Wow, it wasn’t a strike. Not even close.

Aztec Gods are in our side boys, we got this!

Giving him an inning, could be like a BP session I guess.

Chris Sale warming up LOL!

This is the BP we need moving forward. BPs have ups and downs. Been down for a while. Probably it’s time for an up in prime time.

Sit down MF!

Ok, don’t move, no matter what LOL!

We need you to go to your lucky spot compadre LOL!

Just like all Gods you have to believe. All they ask is faith people, faith! LOL!

Funny, we have a lead of 3 runs, and it feels like we are about to blow it out LOL! We got this folks, Let’s go!
