Man, what a great year for everyone here. It's such a joy to watch a guy like Altuve have success. He does everything the right way: humble, hard-working, and always gives credit to God, his family, his teammates, and his coaches.

We all just have to remember

This is the capper of a damn near perfect season...and Altuve deserved it without any qualification.
At least Jos Altuve fans have championship gear.

Love the pissed of Yankee fans. A damn Yankee would win if he deserved it.
Class. Cheers to more Altuve vs. Judge MVP races. Has the feel of a potential 30 for 30 later down the road.HossAg said:

Told y'all..... Vegas knows ****
You mean the same Vegas that said we would lose to the Dodgers?
The votes worked out perfectly. #27 got 27 first place votes.
Man this is awesome. So excited for our team and for this league for years to come
Oh, and the WS champs hat arrived...many thanks, EC. You're good people.

Entirely different. Vegas is extremely accurate on these types of awards because they know the end result before we do
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Think about it y'all. Over these past few years, the Astros have had a MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and a World Championship. We're really experiencing something special

Except that they had the bet off the board before voting was conducted...
You don't believe voters were contacted before the votes were due?
And mybookie had the bet up through the ALDS

Honestly, no I don't think that happened. I think it was just pretty obvious who was going to win.
Idk, I remember the vibe on social media being that Judge was the favorite going into the playoffs. Wouldn't be surprised if Vegas had the inside scoop.

But again I was saying I wasn't able to place a bet for AL MVP in early September in Vegas. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a scoop after the voting but I'm skeptical they could know definitively before then. They just probably had Altuve at a very high percentage and didn't feel it advantageous to keep the bet up. The guy told me it's just too late in the season.
Coincidentally I'm landing in Vegas in about 45 minutes.
I'll definitely be repping my WS champs on field hat in Dodger country.

There's a lot of hate towards Judge, but all of it stems around the media attention he got. I've never seen nor heard a bad thing about who he actually is. Glad Altuve beat him, but I like him.HossAg said:

He is part of the evil empire so we hate him
Speaking of the evil empire, I'm in Boston right now and have been wearing my Stros cap. I've had a bunch of Sox fans come up and talk about the playoffs, happy we knocked the Yanks out.

So much this. I don't hate Judge they player or the man (like I do Frazier, Gardner, or Chapman) but it's more the hype and media love. None of which his fault but still.

Haha. My buddies had a GREAT time screaming obscenities directed towards Jansen during the World Series. I played along
