Guys.. we are so lucky to have a team that has done this good for so long.. it makes my Aggie sports woes not bother me as much .. it's like sports relief.

Man what a huge accomplishment this has to be for Dana Brown. I'm happy for him. I had my hesitations. Not as many and as soon as some here but I had my doubts for sure. But not Dana.
We poked fun at him and Bagwell. We laughed when he talked about ripping off a win streak and getting to .500. We cursed him when the deadline came and we traded for some bum with a 4+ ERA. We questioned him when adding guys late like Heyward and Gamel.
He's getting the last laugh right now. I'll happily eat this full plate of crow.
Now the real fun starts. Onward and upward fellas!!

Looks like KC won the season series over Detroit
So that makes KC in the drivers seat for 5 seed, Detroit for 6

Since one hasn't been posted yet, a wet Julia for you.
Pretty much a concession speech by JV. Passing the torch.
Needed that tonight. I love this team.
The Astros are inevitable.

Just to be clear, if we can escape the first round, we don't have to worry about having home field advantage after that.
Somebody created a sock just to screw with the Arlington fans. Which one of y'all?
I'm usually the one who is screaming from the rooftop not to take this for granted. But the division was weak and I feel like we came up short to where we should really be. I feel confident vs every other team in the AL minus maybe the Yankees. I just need Yordan healthy enough so we can go beat some ass in the WC.

Good to see you.

Atlanta will be fighting to the last day for the last wildcard spot
KC finishes with 3 in Atlanta
the Tigers should pass them for the 5-seed

one thing I remember from the spring...
there were a bunch of tweets referencing the 1974 Pittsburgh Pirates
the last team to win its division after being 10 or 12 games under .500 in May
(or something like that)

Last 2 WS champs came out of this "weak" division
Yall need to be classy and not troll the Rangers on their thread.

Seriously. They're the last thing on my mind tonight.

Yeah I'll go on the trash talk thread but whoever made that fake profile to post on their thread… that was not the move

And let's not forget immediately ***** slapping the A's out of the playoffs so who really won in 2020
it is commendable to the front office...
that the Astros won the division despite having $50 MM in dead payroll on the books this year

Been watching the Astros since 1971 when I was 7 years old. These last 10 years have been the best sports years of my life. Thanks Astros.
Watching since 1976 when I was 5 years old and wondered what excited my dad so much. Lost him to cancer in November of 2017 but not before he saw us win our first title. This is the golden age, everyone enjoy it and take NOTHING for granted.
Wonderful story. Unfortunately lost my Dad in 2015. I used to listen to Astros at night on my Transistor Radio under my pillow at night in the late 1960's before I was 10 years old. I thought that would prevent my parents from hearing it.
That was me, a little transistor under the pillow with Gene Elston and Loel Passe.
Been following the Colt 45's and Astros since their inaugural season in 1962. My dad took me to Colt Stadium in April 1962 for first game and got hooked. I hardly ever missed a game growing up listening on the radio to Gene Easton, Loel Passe and for a few seasons Harry Kalas, father of our Todd Kalas. Back then only Sunday games were televised and those were only road games. And I hardly ever miss a game now. Winning never gets old for this old guy:
Whew! Exhale! What a season. Definitely different than other years. Not near so confident going into the playoffs but let's go steal a WS when we are not at our absolute best heading into the postseason!

Well someone had to win it and who else but the Stros? Their DNA is championship caliber.
So. Over the next 4 games Grae should get like 12 ABs. Surely he gets a hit. That needs to happen.
Yeah, whoever went to the Rangers thread really needs help.
This team has been frustrating but they have a chance if they can get Yordan back. The AL outside of the Astros is pretty weak at SP rotation depth and honestly that's usually a huge predictor of success.
Good year. Let's go and make it great

Went to the game tonight. It was close to a playoff atmosphere.
I wore my Astros tequila sunrise BP Jersey and WS cap that I got at Game 5 in 2017 and orange and blue Houston shoes.
That combo was worn to Game 5 2017, one of the home games of WS 2021, Game 2 of WS 2022 and the division clincher. All wins.
It's not ripped jeans level, but it works for me!
