Do we bring back any of these free agents?

http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/houston-astros/

I'm thinking no. Maybe Gregerson and Maybin if they're cheap.
Let's celebrate this a little and enjoy. We can talk free agents and roster moves all offseason.

Should have it in a week or two; it's that one, but with the leather strap. Jomashop cut it from $12k to $7500 on a halloween night sale and couldn't pass it up.

being still drunk at work is usually not a good time, but this morning its glorious.

Was all set to watch the game on the couch, then got a text ten minutes befor first pitch to get my butt to a friend's country club. He was buying. Watched the entire game there then ubered to another friend's house for victory cigars and to finish off a bottle of Scotch he had brought back from Scotland. Walked home at 2:00 a.m. Missed my 7:00 am breakfast meeting.

ALL WORTH IT. 51 years of following this team and I thought last night would never happen in my lifetime. Just so happy and so hungover!

I tried finding a copy of the chronicle this morning but sold out at the 6 places i stopped on my way to work
I had to go to 3 stores to get a copy for myself and my brother in Dallas...HEB said they had gotten 6 copies, they were 15 minutes after opening and the guy i saw buying the last one worked there....I then went to 2 different Starbucks and both said they had been delivered 2 copies I bought the last one of each


This is why the Chronicle is pathetically stupid and dieing

I'm most happy for Verlander and Beltran.

But, I just f'ing love Gattis and his story. So happy for him. And he's also the closest thing we've got to an Ag on the team.

just got a text from a friend in LA. He got off his hotel elevator at 5:00am to catch a flight and Mr. and Mrs Upton were just getting on the elevator after coming in from an all night party. That man has stamina.....

Just imagine how 1/6 would've played out if DC hadn't had such strict gun laws.

Two people starred his post as of the time of this signature. Those 3 people are allowed to vote in the US.

That's what's awesome about George winning the MVP.

He was being raked over the coals and Hinch stood up for him and he got absolutely locked in.

Really happy for George as he's one of the better guys off the field.

George now has the 4th highest OPS for his career in the WS.

Only Barry Bonds, Willie Aikens, & Amos Otis have higher ones.

Assuming that Pederson wasn't the hero in a Game 7 Dodgers win, I'm not 100% sure that Springer doesn't win MVP even if the Astros lose.

I know I was very critical of all the off days AJ gave out during the regular season. Did it help us to get over the finish line? Who knows...maybe, maybe not.

That being said, I won't complain as much about all the off days next season. Not so much because we won it all this year with that strategy, but that you've been hearing every year for the last few years...from the Cubs and the Royals the last two years...how the season is so long when you get to the World Series and how spring training comes and it seems like things had just settled down and it's time to crank it up again. They said they still just felt tired throughout the next season.

We just played 180 games...went 112-68 if you count the playoffs. Spring training is barely 100 days away if you can believe that. So, I expect and almost hope to see a lot of off days for our studs next year. Just a tough call since even though on average, home field advantage in baseball isn't the biggest thing in the world. But we obviously played way better at home in the playoffs so I don't think we just throw that potential advantage away.

First game I can remember going to was in 1979. After losing in 1980 and 1986, just never thought I would ever know what it's like to win the World Series. Incredible feeling.

Just wanted to quickly say a special thanks and congrats to the posters who have been hanging around here for years. I was thinking last night about the discussions we would have here about if we should be trusting the process and if we could ever bust out. I remember "celebrating" when we didn't lose 100 games. I remember celebrating the callups on everyone from Springer to Singleton.

It used to be just about impossible to find a good spot to have level headed discussions about the Astros. We definitely found that here (plus Nuke of course).

Congrats mother ****ers. We did it

1. The two days my kids were born
2. Day I got married
3. Astros World Series champions.

That's pretty much it. Everything else is just stuff that happens and you enjoy or hate it in that moment, then the next day happens and you start all over.

Didn't get to watch with my little one since she was down before the game even started, but I can't wait to tell her about it. Glad her wait for this was only 10 months.

Here she was in her Halloween costume
