So we got Verlander, Altuve, Correa, Gattis and Springer claimed. I feel like we have to all rock the avatar for at least the 2018 baseball season. God dammit we have WAITED for this we have to wear it as a badge of honor.

Excellent choice, he was magic in game 7 of the ALCS.

Just spent 200 dollars on a shirt, ballcap, baseball and a framed SI cover. Zero regrets.

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): http://subscription-assets.si.com/qa/assets/themes/magazines/SUBS/templates/velocity/site/si-2017wsc/lp.html?xid=WS17-Social_Internal

I don't have it yet but it's how I was able to place the order. If you want to wait I'll let you know... but gently caress those ebay prices. I just want the cover not the entire magazine.

Then yeah I'd be drinking for an entirely different reason on Friday. But as it is I'm buying a bottle of champagne tonight.

Awesome! What should I put underneath? Or does the avatar speak for itself?

I bought myself some really nice bubbly for tomorrow night and i'm going to drink that entire bottle, plus some other stuff. I couldn't celebrate the night of but you can bet your rear end I will all weekend.

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. Gentlemen, we're going to remember this for the rest of our lives. Cherish this moment.

I've somewhat adopted Seattle / Portland teams since living up here so I'm cool with the Mariners.

Carlos Beltran should go in as an Astro.

Jay Bruce seems like a worthless signing...don't even bother. I'm not sure we need anything on offense, or even rotation wise. We need bullpen, period.

Okay....maybe, but what do you propose they do otherwise? Just leave the bullpen as is?

quote:Fresh off a World Series victory, the Astros would like to supplement their bullpen with a left-handed reliever, reports Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle. Kaplan lists Mike Minor and Jake McGee as two potential targets for the ’Stros, noting that Minor’s frequent outings of more than one inning in 2017 could appeal to Houston. So, too, could the fact that he thrived in his limited time as a closer and has no discernible platoon split, thus giving Houston a possible safety net in the event that Ken Giles’ struggles carry over into the 2018 season. Are you leaning towards Minor?

Why do you say Hinch isn't that great? Everything this year showed me that he's actually a pretty fantastic manager...top 5 in baseball even.

It's going to break my heart if I ever see Altuve not playing for the Astros. Please pay our short baseball God.
