Wow. Gotta hand it to Hinch, he sticks by his players. Reddick really needs to sit, probably more so in game 6.
Let's hope he becomes the hero!
-
Reddick is better against RHP, but kind of not good in 28 AB against Darvish. I'm sure we will see a lot more than Darvish tonight, though I suspect he will hang in there a while. Go Astros!

Greatest night of my life, since the Journey concert with Sherry in 1986.
Had to go get Love Street and Macallan 12. But I'm getting tuned up now. Got a special Habana puro I've been saving, and it's getting smoked no matter what happens.
Release the hounds!

With the pitcher hitting and Marwin and Reddick struggling the deep Astros lineup seems pretty short.

I am hoping JR keeps his head in the swing and goes the other way --- been most effective that way.
Cheers!

As coach in another sport, I tend to agree with you here. Dance with what brought ya.
But, there is a small argument that a different look or personality or even a rookie like Fisher might put together a few good AB's -- then again maybe not.
I definitely defer to you JRaup! Its been a while (about 5 years I suspect) since responding to your posts - I hope you and son are well!

Changing the lineup for game 7 of the WS is crazy. This order has raked before, it can do it again.

No so this year. The Astros have earned every damn thing they've got this year, and a World Championship will definitely have to be earned in L.A.
Let's go get 'em!

Worried blue was going to call that a strike. And now would be a good time for Jose to swipe a bag.

Nice patience, Jose.
Now Carlos, lets get another base knock.

You have to send him, right?

You have to send him, right?
Yes.

Sparky is taking it to a new level

AND BREATHE!!! Had to put the kiddos to bed. What a game! Thankful for the Astros for giving the city of Houston something to look forward to as we rebuild from Harvey. This doesn’t feel real.

He shouldn't drive home.
I enjoyed LMJ interrupting him with a clear as day F bomb
"That was Lance McCullers, he has Tourette's."

I think Sparks is taking “strap on and vaunt” a bit too literally.

Nick Swisher needs to take a breath and switch to decaf. That dude is almost as wired as Sparky and he doesn't even have the excuse of following the Astros all year.

I. Am. Verklempt.
Don’t tell my husband or my kid, but that may or may not be the happiest moment of my life.
I wish my mom was here to celebrate this moment with us.
History....EARNED!
Congrats, everyone! Great GZ!

Houston Astros 2017:
AL West Division Champions
AL Champions
World Champions
That's earning it.
Yep! The Astros beat the Red Sox, the Yankees, and the Dodgers, 3 of MLB's most storied franchises in the playoffs to win the World Series. The team played in some of the greatest games in mlb history. My Grandpa passed away in 1995. He got me addicted to the Astros in the mid-70's. I remember the day before he died, we watched an Astros game in his hospital room. He was cheering them on through the wires, tubes, and pain. This WIN is for you Grandpa'

McCann on MLB Network..
He might be my favorite astro... His personality is funny engaging and smart.
He'll make a good manager when he finishes. Love that guy

Cool story. I have also thought of those who weren't able to witness this.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 41m41 minutes ago
Correa said he received numerous injections in thumb, revealing series of needle marks. Still had .866 OPS in playoffs and .817 OPS in WS.

Springer was the Inigo Montoya of the series.
Swinging his sword at anything remotely had six fingers --- but to redeem himself and fathers of astros past
"My name is George Springer, you killed all of my fathers, prepare to die" -
Ding dong 5 pitches dead.
As you wish, astros fans, as you wish!

We defeated over half a billion in payroll between Bos, NY, and LA.

Thanks. I was kind of hoping that you could find one that runs faster than you, but thanks.
Howdy boys, dingo never showed up, guess it stopped to eat some babies on the way?
I got a score early in the piece when it was 5 – 0, I was surprised the next time I checked it was all over and the good guys won… thought it would go a lot longer than it did.
Not sure if I should feel a bit peeved when after all, this season I –
Saw nearly all of the 162 regular season game,
Saw all 4 ALDS series games,
Saw all 7 of the ALCS games,
Saw 6 WS games,
Got up at 1, 2 & 4 am to watch games, and
Got told to fuck off a couple of times by Jim.
So I had a fair bit invested but didn’t get to see our finest hour.
Still, who gives a fuck I will enjoy the shit out of it when I get a chance to watch it on Saturday. A couple of days ago I was certain I would get a Yuli jersey, after I watch game 7, I guess that could change to Morton? I jumped to the end of the GZ but looking forward to checking out all of insanity when I finally watch the game. If I could plan the prefect end to the season, beating the red sox and goddamn yankees on the way to a WS victory is exactly how I would script it.
I hope everyone enjoys the afterglow, I expect that will last for a while. I have had a really long day and feel really tired but wired at the same time, just like you guys I expect?

Holy hell this was fun to read this morning.

To all my Astro brothers sisters (and father) out there, what a fucking ride.
I got superstitious about posting in the GZ during playoff games, so I stopped even looking, but everyone that posts here with a few horrible exceptions make being an Astros fan that much more fun. Cheers to all of you.
I'm still scared I'm going to wake up and it's going to be Game 7 day again at some point today.
GO FUCKING ASTROS!
-
Also...
Talkzone World Series MVP is an easy one - Nate in IA brought us home with some beast PBP. Great work, man!

Something to be proud of and it will be emulated all over the place. Looking for the next Luhnow moment? Go get em'

I'm still marveling at the fact that despite all the traffic McCullers managed to keep those guys off the scoreboard.

It was pretty obvious from the word go, he didn't have his best stuff. But he battled and didn't give up runs, that's all you can really ask in a game 7. Just keep the other team off the board for as long as you can then pass the baton

Bregman's play on Barnes' grounder in the second inning may have saved the game. If Barnes gets on, the inning and the game may have turned out very differently.

Bregman was rightly and consistently praised for his defensive play. I can think of at least two other plays where it felt like he saved the postseason.

Just wanted to have a post on this one.
I am 41 and have been an Astros fan last night. We sprayed three bottles of champagne over my backyard.

This was the best of many great GZs over the last several weeks. Good job everyone and way to bring it home Nate!

How did that trade work out, LA?

Soooo Happy Astros didn’t pull a desperation move and sign him when standing pat still would have been the better choice! Beyond ecstatic that Luhnow was able to land Verlander.

Glad I read on and avoided being Cabrera.

Have no fear, there will be more then one team hoping to back their money trucks up to his house.

Yeah, who can tell, a lot of people were yelling stuff… I am just glad we are not saying ‘well, there is always next year’ once again. I probably followed this season closer than any previous and really appreciate all the things that are needed, including a good slice of luck, to win all the marbles. This is great for all of you lifers and long term fans to get the winners feeling.
-
Feed the dingo first.
Dingos tend to look after themselves. I saw one at a sunny little place called Telfer once, sitting under a tree and suddenly jumped up running at a flat out sprint, covered about 15 - 20 yards and jumped up probably 8 feet and snatched a pigeon out of the air. He then went back under the tree and ate his lunch looking pretty fucking pleased with himself. Anyway, game back on, more tales from the outback after the next half inning.

Hey guys, thanks for the kudos. I love being a part of this board with no Astros fans anywhere around me and my Dad and brother are *shudder* Cubs fans. Still, I got congratulations from them and they said it was a better World Series than last year. It's been my pleasure to do PBP for this historic championship run. What a ride it's been.
Watching the Channel 2 coverage of the parade today on YouTube. Great to have that record too...

Like they say mate, you can pick your friends, but not your relatives.

Yeah, that game was pretty sweet alright, lucky we jumped out quick and got some runs before they realised there was a game on. The on field celebrations were great, really glad to see Giles in the thick of it after the rough time he had.

I don't know about you guys but I'm fucking exhausted. The late nights, the stress and then the release...I'm liable to sleep the entire weekend.

I know exactly what you are saying. I did not realize how much tension I was feeling until the morning after game 7 when I was totally spent.
Although part of it was undoubtedly the late hours. Couldn't go to bed until a couple of hours after the long and late games as I was taking in every post-game interview, replay and commentary from the talking heads.

B9 of Game 7, 5- 1, 2 outs
Seager,
grounder to Altuve on the first pitch, 4 - 3 3 outs !
ASTROS WIN, ASTROS WIN, ASTROS WIN
Your 2017 World Series Champions, the Houston Astros!
Here I am reading all this five days later, and when I get to the last out, I get all misty, just like I did watching the actual game. AstrosConnection/OrangeWhoopass/SpikesnStars rules.
