That’s 4 pennants, 2 titles, and 6 straight division titles. That’s a Dynasty.

You have to actually win rings to have a dynasty, not league pennants.

It was Alvarez's third home run this postseason, all of which came while the Astros were trailing and gave them the lead. No other player had ever hit two of those in an entire postseason career.

FFS the ring Dusty won as a player isn't germane to this or anything. His lack of a ring as a manager has always been the albatross hanging over his otherwise legendary managerial career.

I am happy for Dusty and I also like Verlander. I am also happy for (most) of the Astros posters here! There’s a few guys that seem to be happier that they can snipe at other posters / teams than they are that their team won. That’s kinda weird to me, but I am Canadian so maybe I just don’t get it. Anyway, Blue Jays are gonna win next year. :)

I feel like having a championship ring from the peak of your sports profession regardless of if it comes as manager or player is pretty germane. It's not like he's some hapless never saw the promised land ever guy.

Actually that's 3 straight division titles followed by a year where a team that was below .500 in the shortened regular season went to the ALCS followed by 2 straight division titles.

also you caught me pre-edit :lol: I don't want to be one of those fans who conflated their team's success with their own

Watching the Astros win in a year when they were supposed to be watching their window close was great. I'm sure there'll always be people who claim they escaped facing the Dodgers, Braves and Mets but the Phillies were game. Congrats to Phillies fans, what a run they had

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

I feel lucky, between discovery and surgery it'll be just a little over a month. In the meantime, I just walk around pushing stuff back in or wearing a little strap. :(
