The Astros choked big time

[Thadeus]

The season is on the line, and we lose 2 out of 3 to a team that is not going to the playoffs. Also, how do you score 1 run off 9 hits? Pathetic. Congrats to the Cardinals for making the playoffs, although they won't make it to the W.S.

The Astros were lucky to be in a position to choke in the first place.

Astros need another hitter on that team besides Lance.

Re: The Astros choked big time

The term "choked" is thrown around way too often. The Astros didn't choke, they over-achieved to even be put in that position in the first place.

There really wasn't that big of a difference between the Braves and Astros so I don't see why losing 2 out of 3 would be so pathetic.

Exactly, the Cardinals were the near chokers and they backed into the playoffs, the NL Central just wasn't that good this year, that said hopefully the Cardinals can get hot now that they are in the playoffs but I don't expect it.

Exactly.

Here's the definition of "choke":

Leading Kansas City 5-0 two days ago and 6-0 today, needing one win to clinch the AL Central and hence avoiding a trip to the Bronx to face the Yankees...and getting SWEPT at HOME by the Kansas City Royals.

Good luck in New York, Tigers.

The Astros aren't going to the playoffs either. I'd argue that the Braves are a better team, but records wise they aren't. IMO, they are though. Anyway like was said, the Tigers choked.

The only team that choked this year is the Tigers.

Re: The Astros choked big time

How can a team choke when they were the hottest team for nearly a month and almost got into the playoffs because of a craptacular stretch drive by the Cardinals?

They didn't "choke" they just were unfortunate to run out of gas in the end.

How can you be a fan of the stros and say the choked and call them pathetic? you as a fan should be proud of your team for coming back to life and making one hell of a run and nearly stealing the division.

They didn't choke, they didn't play well enough in the beginning of the season.

Not really they still made the playoff! Also, it is hard to beat someone at there home. To the Braves this was their playoffs, keeping the Houston from going. The same thing the Giants should have done to LA, but they didn't bringing shame. How the hell do you get swept. No heart at all!

I disagree with this statement lol. I hate when the teams I like to that. You get all excited and then they don't go. I hate the yo yo thing. If you are going to suck then suck, but don't get us all excited. The Giants are known for that lol!
