Yankees more like, would explain how they swept us

We talk all the time about worst losses, but this was one of the best wins of the season.

When they absolutely had to have a win the most.

Absolutely. Down 3-0. Tied it up in the fourth. France immediately gives one back. Astros get two right back in the fifth, France gives one back in the bottom of the inning to make it 5-5. Then, the Astros blow it open in the seventh with a six-run inning.

7-8-9 today had five hits, three HR and drove in six runs. Dusty is a lineup genius

More bitching about Dubon starting in CF. He has two home runs today.

Correlation equals causation so Iā€™ll keep bitching

Dubon deserves criticism for individual games or plays perhaps (who doesnā€™t?), but he is a valuable part of this team.

No one thought you wouldnā€™t.

1st team in mlb history with 9 and 1 going b2b HR twice in the same game

To be clear, I love Dubon; my issue with Dusty, who treats a good utility player like a must-start on a daily basis.

For the non xers, actually a pretty cool stat:

The @astros are the first team in MLB history to have their No. 9 and No. 1 batters hit back-to-back HR twice in the same game.

It certainly has recently. When the GZ has criticized Dusty starting Dubon, Dubon has contributed positively that game more often than not.

I was out of pocket today so had to check in via gameday.

I just want to say I never doubted the Astros for a second.

As far as you know.

Chill, MM. I was teasing you.

Iā€™m so glad the good guys won. I couldnā€™t participate in the game zone due to the overwhelming but understandable negativity. I know thatā€™s how it goes but it was bumming me out so much when the Rangers took a 2-0 lead, I had to sign out. All the bitching and complaining about Dusty, while deserved, has become like a broken record. Iā€™m guess thatā€™s Dustyā€™s fault too.

Cabrera thought that was amazing too.
