Yep he’s pitching game 4

I don't see how they couldn't have just called the postponement around 4 or 4:30. What a waste of an afternoon. 

Really hope Wheeler is okay....

Yeah, that's the real garbage of all this - this all could've been communicated way earlier.

I honestly don't think Wheeler's hurt beyond being on fumes and worn down. I guess it's the long game, too, to have him in case of Game 6.

Lol Houston fans came to the ballpark wound tight. We're outside the ballpark drinking our last beers at the Schmidt statue before heading home, see two guys in Astros jerseys, I give them a "WE'LL SEE YOUS TOMORROW??" and almost immediately get a hardened, "FFFUCK YOU!"

Hahaha...losers

Astros fans should dress up as cheetahs.

Jearlpam0925

So I gave them a, "Calm down, Snowflake!"

Somebody was dressed up in a garbage bag and had 'Trashstros' on the back. I was very amused.

Johnny Abruzzo

Someone please tell me we aren't wearing powder blue away jerseys for Game 5 of the World Series.

Idiots. We're not all like that, I promise.

Completely agree. Absolutely ridiculous.

If it gets the Astros to wear their throwbacks, too, I'm all for it!

All good, my man! I know here in Philly we also like to say, "we're not all like that, I promise." And I always like to respond, "no, no, we are all definitely like that."

Johnny Abruzzo

Just them wearing away jerseys at home scrambles my OCD so bad. Nobody else seems to care though. LOL

Oh god no. Where did you see that?

I used to like them but not anymore. And, yeah, wearing them at home is stupid. 

The better version of that old jersey has the baseball stitches in the "P," like they have on their hats.....and, of course, having different "P's" on the jersey and the hat makes less sense than just wearing them at home.

Kinda wish they'd go back to that era jersey full time, though, with the good "P" and road grays....

Johnny Abruzzo

Nobody told me - they just have worn them on Thursdays at home all year, or a few years I guess. I was hoping both teams would wear those throwbacks, but for one of the games in Houston.

mfc2006

Would love a throwback jersey game. 

Jearlpam0925

I honestly think they should throw some powder blue into their away gray uniforms.

If they have some ridiculous record in those unis - like 18-2 - then I say WEAR EM.

I don't think that happened. The blown 7 run lead vs. the Mets was in the powder blues.

The Juggler

The stitches make it look so much better
