The vibes are not good in Houston: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7644992/2026/09/30/astros-loss-game-1-fans-frustration/?unlocked_article_code=1.FFE.RAml.BJpIH3UZK1Oc&source=emp_shared_article&smid=re-share-ta

Both Houston and Atlanta had thousands 0fm empty seats. Having these games in the daytime certainly didn't help matters. Most people have to work for a living. It would have been better to have these games played in the night.

Would have been a crazy environment at the Rate even with the start time.

Here's hoping that Sean Burke looks like he did in his last outing . HOLD FAST.

His quote about having no wife/girlfirend/family has me fired up. What a lunatic.

Screw them and their fans. Cheaters.

I guess this is one way to ron-proof the game threads

I made the gamethread yesterday and guaranteed the victory. Look what happened.

In fact, I think you're inviting bad juju into the thread by doing this. Mods, can we suspend him until the game is over?

Didn't he pitch for our White Sox?

Yesterday was tense at times, but it felt like we were in control for the entire game. Never felt like the Astros were really going to tie it up or take the lead. I'm feeling confident we can end this tonight.
