Beat LA: Top Astros Tweets Heading Into Tonight's Game 3

From bashing the Kardashians to Ross and Rachel's break, here are some reasons to smile and get past Wednesday night's cardiac game

HOUSTON, TX — It's game day in Texas on a Friday night with a fall football chill in the air, and everyone seems to be hot about the Houston Astros hosting the next three games of the 2017 World Series beginning tonight. Game 2 in Los Angeles may have sent many Astros fans to see their cardiologists on Thursday, so Patch decided to scour social media to find some things that'll put a smile on your face and get you ready for tonight's game at Minute Maid Park.

And in case you missed it, here's a funny guide on any Dodgers fans who may be in town for the World Series. If you're goofing off at work and just getting ready for tonight's game — or even if you have Friday night football plans and keep up with the game through your phone — some of these recent tweets should get you ready for tonight.

Of course, this is a fabricated photo, but there's nothing better than the Astros logo and the Lone Star taking over the Hollywood sign, just like the 'Stros took over the end of Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Then there's volunteers at the Houston Food Bank showing their Astros pride!

And J.J. Watt will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before tonight's game. Not because he's one of the best defensive players in the NFL, but because he helped raise more than $37 million in Hurricane Harvey relief. He announced Thursday how he'll split the money for flooding victims.

There are lots more out there in social media land. The game starts at 7:08 p.m. tonight on the Fox Network. Enjoy the game and the weather, and be safe on the roads.
