I also love Tigers fans forever and ever. Without Verlander there is no chance the Astros win this championship.

Shoutout one last time to Intruder for saying that was a horrible trade.

I think they were a little bit of a fluke. I feel bad saying that. I like the Twins. Love that airport. Still remember Kent Hrbek and Kirby Puckett as mainstays on my Pursue the Pennant team. I'll even buy into much of that offensive production the final two months, when the Twins led the majors in runs scored. Byron Buxton playing center field was as lovely as the sound of a child's laughter. Still, the rotation and bullpen give me jitters, with a strikeout rate that ranked 19th in the majors.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Congrats, Astros. Great team and a great series. Psyched for Verlander and Beltran. Correa and Altuve are great talents and loads of fun. Springer had a hell of a World Series and Bregman's going to be a forgotten honorable mention. Grow up, Yuli, and maybe try and do something to send a message. Correa, you're a dork but congrats.

Congrats, Astros fans. I don't fully get this whole "Houston losers, deserve it" narrative but all sports fans "deserve" a win. Try not to get salty about Yuli getting booed.

Condolences to the Dodgers. Especially whatever sad Dodger has an engagement ring in his pocket.

Intruder, it was nice getting to know you and ribbing you a little. I'm glad you won so I don't have to feel bad about maybe being too mean. Shame you're going to kill yourself now. I'll remember you.

I’m really glad I didn’t end up hating the Astros during this series. Even Gurriel was p. cool. Can’t wait for the series next August in L.A. Heck, I wish it was Opening Day tomorrow.

Hot drat 18 is pretty generous for the Rangers considering we currently have 2 signed starting pitchers and 2 right handed position players that can hit.

Congrats to the 'stros. Sucks for the Dodgers that they rented Darvish so he could blow two WS games for them, but that's baseball. :toot:
