I don't know what Sparky does from the booth to the locker room but the man goes from zero to completely lit faster than anyone I've ever known

That's his secret Red. He's always lit.

Probably was hoping to get something to drink…

We play thousands of baseball games each year just to figure out who faces the Astros in the World Series.

Yes he brought up 2017 but the final point and comparison he made to the Patriots is dead on. It's doesn't mean squat the Houston F'ing Astros are a damn dynasty

---

In a way yes it was an ok analogy but very wrong in that 8 other teams weren't doing the same things the Pats were doing and only they got singled out. Red Sox cheated when they won a WS - and were punished. Yankees cheated and got a letter. Dodgers , Twins and others were known to cheat. But MLB singled out the Astros and swept the rest under the rug. Never mind the roided up Yankees of the 90's and 2000's.

Can’t wait for them to lose to the Astros

Respect.

And let's not forget Joe Girardi for initiating the tradition of Yankees managers waiting to congratulate Astros managers before getting canned.

I'm sure his protege Rob Thomson will honor his example too.

Bregman is having the best postseason of his career.

slash lines are identical for the ALDS and ALCS:

.300 / .375 / .600...for an OPS of .975 in both series.

5 for 15 in the ALDS with HR, double, walk, and 3 RBI

5 for 15 in the ALCS with HR, double, walk, and 4 RBI

only struck out 2 times in 32 plate appearances

Can't believe I was nervous about playing the Yankees before the series started

Good morning you glorious mob

Incredible

My wife fell asleep during the game...she just woke up and saw the Astros won...then I won! Happy Monday!

Given the later start, I had to get to sleep before the game ended. When I stopped following the game* the score was 5-4 Yankees, but I suspected the Astros were about to get into their BP. Very happy to wake up this morning to the 6-5 Astros final. **** you New York.

*I don't watch the games on TV. It is very difficult to deny myself that, but it goes back to a WS game in 2017. I was invited to a watch party on the same night that Mississippi State kicked A&M's ass at Kyle, and the Dodgers won that ball game. I didn't watch any further games, and as we all know, the Astros won that Series.

Good morning AL champions.

Another day where I'm ****ing dead after post season baseball ends late.

Still worth it.

From @SlangsOnSports, the Astros' winning % against every other AL team since 2015, regular season and postseason combined:
BAL .674
SEA .664
MIN .660
LAA .643
DET .638
OAK .592
KC .588
NYY .563 (36-28)
CWS .560
TEX .559
CLE .549
BOS .541
TOR .533
TB .500
