Did the old school thing of being a daily subscriber to the Chronicle. Was delivered to my doorstep.

Wondering what I should include in a frame.

I went to 5 playoff games, have 3 towels and 2 clappers (I think I lost some of the ticket stubs). I have the ALDS, ALCS and World Series newspaper headlines. I have this Houston Strong shirt that went 11-1 in the playoffs. gently caress THIS TEAM AND THISPLAYOFF RUN WAS AWESOME.

I took Kirios' lead and ordered the heavy stock versions off the Chron website. I think I'll frame those with the rally towel and maybe my tickets? I wish I had real stub style tickets instead of these printouts.

Same - I think only season ticket holders got real tickets. The only real tickets I have are for ALCS Game 2 because they're from a season ticket holder.

Because patriotism is now a stupid dick waving contest about how much you love and respect the national anthem and military - so basically Republicans. Glad the crowd booed the gently caress out of Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick (they also booed the gently caress out of Sheila Jackson Lee).

Roid Bonds is loving insane and the unquestionably the GOAT.

There are probably beer league softball players who cant touch his 2004 OPS in Major League Baseball -1.422 across a season of MLB.

However, this is the Astro Lounge, where 1.201 is the only number to beat. Bagwell's OPS in 1994.

The number to meet or beat is one ring, which Barrold failed to do :smug:

Judge not lest ye be judged.

Our saviors Jeffery Robert Bagwell and Craig Alan Biggio ended their careers of service to our great city with no rings. The Giants have won many rings in the post-Barrold era.

I hated the Bagwell trade when I was younger because Glenn "The Big Bopper" Davis was my favorite Astro

Davis would be traded for Steve Finley, Pete Harnisch and Curt Schilling

I may not have been able to celebrate the night of but I've downed a bottle of champagne and a pint of mead.

It's finally starting to set in that, yes, the Astros won the World Series and it can never be taken away from us.

Bagwell giveth and taketh away. He took away your favorite player, but gave us a future. However, is it Bagwell that is ultimately responsible for Schilling's current position as a MAGA twitter troll? Had Bagwell been bad, Davis doesn't get Wally Pipp'd, Schilling never comes to Houston and never exposed to the 1992 RNC in the Astrodome which I have just made up to be Schilling's first exposure to right wing politics?

My Bagwell story is that he bought our table a bottle of champagne at Hugo's once. I got him to autograph it. He made a crack about how only dudes my age come up to him and never women. That bottle is still displayed very prominently in my house. Jeff Bagwell is awesome.

As far as changes that need to be made, I think we have to put Bregman and Yuli at 1&2 and move Springer back to 5 or 6 - he is lost up there right now (and was throughout the Yankees series as well). He's hurting the team when the leadoff guy is basically Adam Everett up there. Also, we need Gattis' bat. Hinch has to get his mind around the double switch. When McCann was up in the 7th, Gattis should have gone in at that point and caught the remainder of the game.

Deepest apologies Mr. Springer, I will never doubt you again.

In my drunken exuberance after reading this thread at 3 am after coming back from Main St. I apparently requested a Charlie Morton avatar that had already been claimed. For that action, I deeply apologize. b0ng, and all other Astro-posters, I am ashamed of my actions and will use this as a learning experience moving forward.

That being said, I still want a cool 'Stros World Series av! So, to the extent any Astro is not claimed, I'll take em. Maybe Brian McCann as the baseball fun police. My wife decided Brian McCann was her favorite player through the postseason because of his soothing skills with pitchers. She brought a "Yes we McCann" poster to the parade and everything.

Damn, this is good coffee.

For everyone’s information, SI is reprinting the original 2014 issue and it’s available for purchase. It’s a 1:1 copy of the original, too - nothing indicating that it’s a reprint. Should knock down those $400+ prices on eBay. I’m getting the reprint and the above magazine framed in a single custom frame, really looking forward to it.
