Please fire Dave Roberts and don't re-sign Yu Darvish for starters. Honeycutt is already gone.

High five to KaylaJ and Duke33 and anyone else who was cheering for the Astros. Think Boston,NY, and LA had the 3 highest payrolls as well.
f*** yeah!

 

[Halladay]

This city deserves this after what we went through two months ago. Happy for everyone I know that is an Astros fan.

 

[Terry Yake]

glad beltran finally gets the ring he deserves

 

[Winger98]

Congrats Astros and their fans

 

[punk_o_holic]

WHo would have thought a Morton signing would come up big?

 

[Machinehead]

Phenomenal team, but damn, worst bullpen to ever win it all?

 

[Del Preston]

Ben Reiter should be at the parade. SI even put the likely World Series MVP on the cover for their story three years ago.

Yep.

Looks like they will get the trophy outdoors. I guess the Dodger Stadium locker room is too cramped?

Pretty sure the trophy is always done on the field... not in the lockerroom. lol

 

[JWK]

Love you, Astros

 

[John Price]

It used to be done in the locker room IIRC but in recent memory has largely been done outdoors

Dodgers won't be back. They don't have the pitching.

is predicting the WS champ 3 years down the line a thing now?

your 2020 WS champion chicago white sox

 

[Machinehead]

This is the one thing I can't stand. Some f***ing guy in a suit touches it first. The one thing the NHL does right.

The Cubs and Royals got it in their locker room.

If you're the Dodgers, do you go (and overpay) for Arrieta?

 

[rangerssharks414]

Dodgers lol

This is too funny.

 

[BMOK33]

If you're the Dodgers, do you go (and overpay) for Arrieta?

Lynn is the only pitcher on the market who I think could surprise and end up having a great few seasons. Everyone else I would be afraid of

 

[Terry Yake]

no i'm pretty sure the angels will be the team to overpay for arrieta

 

[BMOK33]

Dodgers won't be back. They don't have the pitching.

It's just hard to get back in consecutive years. Even KC needed an epic collapse by Houston to get back there consecutive years. These days with the pitching getting so burned up I think it's rare for a staff of guys to hold up well enough to get there two times in a row

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I know Dave Roberts will learn from his mistakes. I think he's too smart of a manager not to adjust from his past mistakes.
