Congratulations to the Astros
It was a hard-fought battle. As one wag said: Thank Yu. Anyway, in Texas I was a Rangers fan but I am happy for my Texas friends who like the Astros.

It was a great series, congratulation are definitely in order, and guriel seems to given himself ‘Mal De ojo’ the evil eye

Congratulations to the Dodgers on avoiding a meeting with the President

mg (31009b) — 11/3/2017 @ 5:22 amEnjoy the parade, especially the lady I saw keeping her own scorebook.
I missed the game!
felipe (b5e0f4) — 11/3/2017 @ 6:35 amIt was one very exciting series. Congratulations Astros!
Joe Bob (42059b) — 11/3/2017 @ 6:48 amCongrats Astros – Congrats MLB for keeping politics out and just playing the game for everyone to enjoy.
harkin (b32ce9) — 11/3/2017 @ 6:59 amthis calls for french onion soup and a glass of cab for to celebrate
happyfeet (048778) — 11/3/2017 @ 8:43 amThe most relaxing thread on this blog in weeks was JVWs posting a while back w/participants musing on weekend college ball in general and baseball in particular. Opinions naturally differed but banter was pleasant and rich experiences shared.
The 2017 World Series was simply magnificent baseball. Which speaks volumes to caliber of play by both the Astros and the Dodgers to keep viewers across the nation– and around the world- watching teams for seven riveting games they didn’t particularly care about in the regular season.
And to cap off the Game 7 win– and the season– a player had the ‘nerve’ to take a knee— to ask his fiancĂ©e to marry him. There was no protest; she said yes- and so should we all, to Major League Baseball, for showing players and owners in other popular league sports just how to ‘play the game.’
DCSCA (797bc0) — 11/3/2017 @ 11:27 am@ kish (#3): Thanks, that gave me a good belly laugh.
Beldar (fa637a) — 11/3/2017 @ 11:44 amI just hope that Bellinger learns how to hit the slider. The Astro pitchers sure had his number.
Kevin M (752a26) — 11/3/2017 @ 1:05 pmThe three best baseball games I have personally seen were, in chronological order:
’86 ALCS Game 5, Boston vs Anaheim, 7-6 Boston in 11 (5-2 Angels at the end of 8)
’88 WS Game 1, Dodgers vs Oakland, 5-4, Gibson walk-off (extra points because I was in stadium)
’17 WS Game 5
(honorable mention for ’04 ALCS as a gestalt)
Kevin M (752a26) — 11/3/2017 @ 1:11 pm“Thank Yu”
That’s racist!!!
lee (0c7da6) — 11/3/2017 @ 2:37 pmSeeing a half million people show up to the celebratory parade today was pretty amazing. The traffic on the other hand was pretty much a nightmare but I think most of the people thought it was a good trade-off.
