So, at minimum a playoff with the Angels for Wildcard on Monday. 

They're still a year ahead of schedule, and I don't think they're ready for an extended post-season run, but this is a great experience for their young guys.

Here's the breakdown:

- Astros win plus Angels win = one game playoff in Arlington on Monday to determine division winner vs. wild card
- Astros win plus Rangers win = Astros win wild card (wild card game in New York if Yankees win tomorrow or in Houston if Yankees lose)
- Astros loss plus Angels win = one game playoff in Houston on Monday to determine wild card
- Astros loss plus Rangers win = Astros win wild card and play at NYY on Tuesday

You're in the wrong thread bro.  :angry: B)

They've sacked up with 6 wins in the last 7 games. Great fun.

And if I read JW's chart correct, if the RANGERS win tomorrow it will not matter if Astros win or lose. Astros win wild card without need for playoff.

So we have to root for the Rangers? Ok I can do that. Go Astros!

I'm a Rangers fan. But I'm absolutely hoping for the best for the Astros. As a Rangers fan, I know the struggle you guys have experienced for so long. If it's not going to be the Rangers in the WS this year, I'd love to see you guys get that opportunity. It's been entertaining to see your scrappy young squad win games.

Astros travel to NY to play the Yankees in the Wild Card Game.

Rangers will play Toronto.

If the Stros were going to lose why couldn't they have done it Saturday so the Rangers could have scratched Hammels and had him ready for game 1 in Toronto. Geez y'all make everything so difficult.

What is the point of a Rangers fan having to give their disclaimer in this thread.? It has no pertinence to the subject. If you came here to wish good luck to the Stros just say so. No preamble please.

I'm a Rangers fan but ... Is no way to enter our thread.

I'm a Pirates fan and also routing for the Astros.

 

[Embrey]

And I like the Pirates. Those old school stack of pancakes hats are the stuff.

Lol. Oh boy.

Hell Yeah!  Way to go 'Stros!
