Get ready for the haters to start running their Mouths. Saw a post on another thread sayin "…Astros still can't win a title without cheating."
Who gives a ****. They are just hoes. We won the 2017 world series and nothing they say or do can change that.
It wouldn't surprise me if Bregman isn't being operated on before the weekend
Tough pill to swallow but I'll take this over being a fan of all the other teams that haven't seen this success over the last 5 years. Hopes for off-season is that we take a shot at Correa, if not use the money for starting pitching. I'm not ready for this run to come to an end.

one thing the front office analytics guys can work on in the offseason...
how to make stacking lefties work.
there is no way...no way....Tucker can bat 6th or 7th next season (with or w/o Correa)
needs to hit 3rd or 4th
It's real simple. Don't put Brantley 2nd. He's lost his power. He's only getting older. Tucker would 100% be batting 2nd over him. This is a Dusty special.
Game 4 will always be the one that got away for us.

Yup. I doubt he's right.

88 win team. Someone remind me of this next year as the playoffs approach and the Astros aren't pushing 100.
Their GM definitely won the trade deadline.
No offense but I've been drinking and not sure I understand what you typed…
Their GM traded for their entire outfield after Acuna went down and they weren't even leading their division. That outfield did a ton of post season damage.
**** you Manfred
Anyway, screw baseball.
And, uh, when does the 2022 season thread start?
And also, LETS GO SCHLOSS! SEE YALL AT OLSEN!

Could have had game 3 as well.
Verlander returning to Detroit will free up $30 mil alone. This postseason should help with bullpen evaluation, impressed with Maton
Farm is better than sports media would have you think it is.
Click will have more flexibility to do his thing in the off-season.

Going to talk to some contacts in Africa and see if they can hook me up with 2021 Astros World Series champs gear
Well that sucked.
Just to reiterate how tough it to win these...Those Braves teams of the 90s that seemed like they were in the WS every year only won 1.

I need the Aggies to win out and finish 11-2 I can feel really good about 2021

Hell yes. Aggie baseball is going to be real real good soon. Not sure it'll be 2022 but it might be.

Same thing with the current Dodgers. Only 1 WS win (in a shortened season) despite all the pennants and $$$$ spent
This year is much easier to stomach than 19. That 19 squad is hands down the best in our history and I doubt we top it any time soon.
Oh my God!?!
I'm Alive!
I'm Alive!
Rangers still haven't won **** which makes this season somewhat successful
Well boys. Heck of a season. See y'all in Spring Training
Gig’em Aggies!
this stretch also reminds of Tony LaRussa's 1988 to 1992 Oakland A's teams.
they could mash, but got shut down in the postseason each year (except for 1989 when they won the title)

True.
So does Carlos have his agents hat on and saying he no longer is affiliated with the team?
I would have dropped a few thousand on the game tomorrow had we gone to a game 7. Haven't been to a game in years.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Who ever thought you'd get to see the Astros in 4 World Series over the past 16 years, not me! I remember going in 05 thinking this might be the only time
Man he lost a lot of bargaining power during the WS. I love him. But *****
19.1 innings from our starters in 6 starts.
I've decided to blame the loss of the World Series on lance once again being made of glass. I'd call him the heel, but that's the most sturdy part of the body so it doesn't suit him well at all. Maybe though he can wear his h town vs everyone shirt all off-season only to crap out when we need him most.

Man its just another gut punch. Its just tough to stomach how good this team has been over the last 5 years and to only walk away with 1/3 WS and a dang 3-7 home record in them just sucks ass.
Gonna need to make some moves this offseason to keep the window open.

Nah...6 games of the WS ain't lose him any bargaining power.
He's about to be the 1st ever $400mm player.

hey we had a great year, made it really far with all our pitching rotation problems, losing Lance here at the end really hurt, paying 2 guys like Verlander an Grienke all the money is killing us, we need to try and retain Correa and get rid of these two pitchers and go out and spend that money getting some starters .. I like our young guys but we need one more ace type pitcher where Verlander and Grienke have fallen off... I still dont think Verlanda comes back all the way, hes getting old
great season though, we can hang our heads high... we will get another chance if we can keep all these batters together .. hell of a lineup

Great season everyone. Nothing to hang our heads about
- 5 straight trips to the ALCS
- 3 trips to the WS in 5 years
- 1 Championship
Obviously we'd love to have won, but we've been the best team in baseball over the past 5 years…. and we're not done yet

The money will be there to make those moves…I'm not counting on Correa being part of that; he'll never live up to whatever someone is going to pay him. If Carlos follows the money, I'm willing to bet he just saw his last action in a WS in his career.
