    I gave my gf my debit card and she bought standing room only. I'm a dumbass should have done it myself. Anyone have experience with this? What are we in for?

    Pallilo is so good, and time is real. Who knew....

    - ALCS didn't always exist because league winners went straight to the WS. So, no LDS either. Which helped the Yankees win so many championships.

    - Last time two 100-win teams met in an LCS was 40 years ago (Yankees-Royals). Heard show prior to CLE-NYY, game 5.

    - Everyone (media/fans/NFL/etc) says "Bye Week" instead of properly, Open Week.

    - US Soccer isn't even B list. Obvious, but good way saying it. "Global embarrassment".. "Extraordinarily lame". Beaten by countries smaller than HOU.

    - Ramirez (CLE) led the league in XBH. Not Judge or Altuve.

    This was all first segment 10/11/17.

    Ayyy why would you ever give your girlfriend your debit card?

    And then on top of that why would you use a debit card for online purchases?

    You’re gonna get your identity stolen one day mang. Prayers sent.

    Dude if someone wants my identity they can have it. Take my girlfriend, her stupid dog too. She thought section SRO was short for Stros. She swore to me she found "cheaper tickets in the stros section" so I handed her the card and said go for it. Tried to confront her about it but she shushed me as she was watching big little liars or wtv the **** it is. I sit down in my room and fire up my xbox and my controller is out of batteries. O wait there aren't any batts in the ****ing thing because someone instead of going to the store to buy new ones took them out of my controller to put in the tv remote so she doesn't have to get up to manually change the channel. Life is good big dog, go stros

    One thing that worries me is who are the starters after Keuchel and Verlander. Honestly, Collin McHugh should get consideration, but I know Peacock/Morton are probably penciled in starters. Would be so critical if they can get 6 innings out of those guys.

    Classic. SRO-

    Y'all remember that sports bar SRO? I used to go to that one on FM 1960 near Willowbrook Mall. Saw the Game 5, 1st Round in 1995, Rockets-Jazz, and Game 7, Rockets-Suns same year (Kiss of Death). I'm guessing it probably closed down.

    Matter of fact, now that I think about it, that's where I watched that Billy Hatcher game- Game 6 1986 against the Mets, right?

    Per MLB Network

    Highest % of pitches on the corner (min 2000 pitches thrown)

    Dallas Keuchel - HOU - 9.6
    Zach Davies - MIL -9.6
    Marco Estrada - TOR- 9.6
    Wade Miley - CHC - 9.6
    Kyle Hendricks - CHC - 9.4
    Kenta Maeda - LAD - 9.4
    ___________

    Keuchel 2017 pitch breakdown

    Fastball - 56.9% - .228 BA
    Slider - 18.8% - .163
    Change - 13.0% - .205
    Cutter - 11.3% - 273
    ____________

    Yankees hitters vs LHP --- Lowest BA and Pitch location

    Gardner - .154 - down and away
    Judge - .057 - down and in
    Sanchez - .167 - up and away
    DiDi - .215 - down and away
    Castro - .067 - down and in

    Seems DiDi has balanced plate-coverage if .214 is his lowest.

    Judge saw 53 curveballs in 24 PAs vs CLE. Don't throw him a hittable fastball.

    Go to the game early and go to left field. There's a really good view there if you're the first row standing behind the line.

    Pre-game festivities begin at 3pm on Crawford Street.

    Live music, food, face painting, inflatables, etc. Sounds kinda lame, but maybe there's alcohol and a big screen. Maybe a few players show up.

    Must have a game ticket.

    I guess now I have to root for the Cubs in the NLCS. The Astros would have home field over them if they both advance to the World Series.
