Okay that was fun but let's go shore up the bullpen am I right?
yes, and make big decisions about Altuve and Keuchel.

lock them up long term now? or wait until they hit free agency the following year
Jesus Christ. Just enjoy it tonight.

Obligatory:



SI not only called the winner of the series but they also nailed the MVP

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then...
That being said this was an amazing series.

Was the proposal planned even if we lost? Curious to know if Correa had that in mind...


No, it was a spur of the moment thing. Carlos ran out and bought the ring between innings.
He ordered it off of Amazon Prime Now during the 7th inning stretch.

Would be a brilliant move for the Astros. Keeps Correa happy and get a good guy to help the team.

BS. He played the entire game with the ring in his back pocket

I've cried off and on multiple times. Never experienced a championship. Especially with all that's happened over the past few months in this city, it just means more.

So I've never had a team win a championship.

Question for everyone. If I go to a Houston area academy tomorrow morning when they open, will they have the championship shirts?


No chance.


Not so fast my friend

What a ride this has been, and it was truly earned.

Houston Astros, 2017 World Series Champions

It''s beautiful.

Some interesting symmetry and coincidences tonight:

* To get to our first World Series, we won on the road in St. Louis by a score of 5-1.

* To win our first World Series, we won on the road in Los Angeles by a score of 5-1.

* The Rockets beat the Knicks tonight...the same team they defeated in 7 games to win their first NBA title.

Me too man. Broke down in tears a little while ago.. smiling the whole way. My mom had season tickets for 10 years in the 70's and 80's. She watched every game. I'm so happy for her. Lifelong Houston and A&M fan.

Academy will have a one time shot of inventory tonight. (A LOT of inventory) and will get a second shot tomorrow morning. Timing will depend on which store you are going to.

The store on Kirby/ 59 is the number one Astros store in the company, so it should have the most inventory, but also the most people.

Store at 99/ I-10 probably has the second most


(I used to work there in the corporate office)

I believe academy said they would be open immediately following a win.

People can laugh all the want, but Fiers was huge during a part of the season when we really needed someone to step up. He helped keep the AL West from ever being in doubt.

I went to my first Astros game in 1972 as a 7 year old, it was batting helmet night. Cesar Cedeno hit a huge homerun, I threw my batting helmet in the air and it landed about 8 rows down the old gold seats. The Astros beat the Cubs 7-2.

All those years as an Astros Buddy in the 70s, disappointment in '80 and gut wrenching disappointment in '86 and '04. In '05 just happy to get there.

I still can't believe it finally happened! I'm just numb right now. Half of downtown Manhattan must have heard me screaming with the last out.

ASTROS ARE 2017 WORLD CHAMPS!

Thank you Jim Crane for buying this team and hiring Jeff Lunhow. Thank you Jeff Lunhow for sticking with "the process" and your great drafting and shrewd pickups. Thank you AJ Hinch for managing this team to victory. Thank you Astros.
wonder where those people are...who back in 2011 that didn't want Crane to buy the team because of some E.O. complaint

You are right. That stretch was incredible.

Some hammered Ag called it under the hospitality tent before the Ags played Iowa in the Regional back in June.

Shoutout to that guy.
