"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
So loving happy for Verlander. You finally got your ring, big guy. Sorry the Tigers decided to stock their bullpen with terrible assbabies.

I'm a latecomer, my family moved to Houston in 2001 and I became an Astros fan because we kept getting free tickets for games

I’m so happy right now. My daughter turned two months old today and she now lives in a world where the Houston Astros are World Series Champions! She isn’t condemned to a life of Houston sports misery! There is hope. It feels so good.

What the gently caress man my daughter was born August 28th when was yours born?

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
I'll take McCann if no one else has. Otherwise, gimme Brad Peacock.

I also feel like I don't deserve to take your money after being such a turd yesterday, so you pick the av and I'll pay for it, or you pick your own av and I'll pay for that one.

I'm watching highlights again and I can't believe how many ridiculous jams we escaped in that game

Of course the Astros had to win a World Series in the most emotionally exhausting series I've ever watched

Worth it

So not only did the SI cover get it right, it featured the WS MVP.

That's gotta be the greatest cover of all time right?

September 1st. I’m so thankful my wife is from San Antonio and wasn’t raised an Astros fan so she could handle all the childcare while I freaked out during the playoffs.

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.

It is, it really is the best Astros trade ever. I don't care if Franklin Perez, Daz Cameron and Jake Rogers become hall of famers. It was so incredibly worth it.

Astros own and I am 100% going to the mall during lunch break tomorrow to confirm my hat size and order my WS champion hat

Also I will be partaking in the hilariously overpriced bidding on SI 2014 covers

If you're willing to pay for a year of SI you can get a pretty solid deal on the covers (it's how I got the framed one):
