We got there at 9:30. Found what I thought to be pretty spots thinking they would be up high on some big trucks. It was pretty disappointing. Super boring because of the lag time between everything. Each player in basically an F 150. But unless you were on the first 1-2 rows, you weren't seeing sh+t. It was stupid. Worst decision they could have made. Why not put everyone on top of firetrucks?? & it was 2 hours after it started & I'm pretty sure no player had even past us. We went to Boomers to watch the rest.

But the kids had fun. Can say we were there. But did see Chapman drive up. I thought his truck was a swat car coming down the street.

He nearly fell off..... he did scamper down and hid in the sea of bodies when the police showed up

Seager has the Asterisks thread crying. You love to see it!

Wild ass circus

2nd greatest day of my life behind Wednesday. It was surreal being there

I guess we know what changes to make for the parade next year.

Corey doing a sponsor event serving chicken an hour after clapping back at Bregman on stage is hilarious

Love seeing the Oxy's panties in a wad.

Are they still talking about us? We smacked them around and we are the champs. What could they possibly be saying?

"Nice win. Come back when you've been 5 times and won 2. Hyuk hyuk"

Parade attendance smack talk. I'm not even kidding.

I had been thinking about my parents, and then I spent the last couple of days reading stories on twitter from Rangers fans who were thinking of their parents and the gift of a lifelong love of baseball. I decided last night that I would take it on the chin to create a memory for my 7-year old, so he and I made the trek this morning.

We got there about 10A, and the line was a bout 4-5 people deep where we set up. By 1PM, it was 25-30 people deep behind us. Just absolutely bonkers. I talked to a guy on the front when he passed us to head to the bathroom, and he said his crew camped out all night. Another said they got there at 5:45AM.

I was not prepared for the shear number of people drinking tequila, shouting f-bombs, and passing weed back and forth. Especially since we were set up close to where the cops and EMS were situated. Of course, the police and EMS had to relocate once the crowd got that thick, which was funny. Of course while I was hyper fixated on all of this, my son missed it all and had a blast, so mission accomplished.

A couple of comments about the parade itself:

• They should have thrown the players on flatbed box trucks they were trucking the barriers around on. If they didn't want to do that and give each player a tundra, fine, but they should have staggered them better. We were close to the end so we could dip out ASAP, and man the gapping was something else. Nobody at all for 5-10 minutes, then three trucks of dudes, then another 10 minutes, then one truck, another 5 mins, three trucks, etc etc. For a parade that was supposed to start at 12:15 and last an hour, we had to check out about 2:10P when the kid had finally worn out and caught fractions of Heim and Semien. Missed Seager and Bochy entirely.

• For all the people and the profanity and the drinking, everyone was in a really good mood. It never felt unsafe, despite a staggering number of face tattoos. It was the same vibe I had watching the mavs parade. Just a mass of humanity there to have a good time. People were courteous, weren't shoving or trying to snipe spots, and the folks around me enjoyed my kiddo leading chants of "Let's go, Rangers!"

Was it a beating? Absolutely.
Did my kid enjoy it? Absolutely.
Am I glad I went? Absolutely.
Would I got to the next one? Absolutely not.

It was closer to 700k

It's glorious hearing all 4 sports radio stations in Houston talking about the Texans non-stop for the past few days. It's like eating Wagyu steak and looking at the next table over trying to pretend to enjoy their little smokies.

But but but the asstros thread says turnout was awful

Water Boy said:

I heard 700k but wasn't sure if that was true. Watched on tv and it looked insane.

---

That's about what I heard. Radio said based on Fire Marshall and cell phone issues, it was likely over 700k

Love how they think they are the Yankees after 1 and *

Also took them longer to get their 1st than it did the Rangers

What's the creed thing?

They are a Christian rock band.

But seriously, the guys on the team started listening to Creed in the locker room towards the very end of the season and it became known to the public around the TB series. It just became a bit for the fans.

Edit: Spurred by Andrew Heaney, supposedly.

Yukon Cornelius said:

I know that lol. What's the association with the team?

when team hit a slump. They started singing creed in the locker room. It was credited as helping the turnaround. May have been started by Heaney.
