Just glad the Astros dispatched the Phillies so I won't have to hear the Philthydelphia fans trash talking for a year.

My two cents regarding the ASTROS' chances...

Do you save Christian Javier for Game 7, if necessary?

Or, do you blow your wad on a great Game 6?

Because...if by chance he gets his ass handed to him tomorrow night, it will completely mess up the Astro Dugout going into Game 7   :shrug:

I know it is a moot point now, but I would have gone with Christian Javier, if we got to game 7.

That blast by Alvarez?  Almost gave my cat a stroke!!

Congratulations, @catfish1957

PS:  Phillies batters struck out 71 times in the six game series!  Tell me again how great hitting can beat great pitching!   **nononono*

1st time I've seen one hit to the Budweiser pavilion, as its called, ever!

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Another hint


Trivia time:  What player played in more major league parks than any other?

Hint #1:  He was still playing after the Expos moved to Washington
Hint #2:  He won a batting title
Hint #3:  He hit 25+ homeruns for six different teams

Major League Baseball used at least two types of balls again this year, and evidence points to a third

Well on his way to his second World Series title, Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander shouldn't have had any complaints about his dominant, storybook season. And yet on a sunny June day in The Bronx, the 39-year-old three-time Cy Young winner knew something was off. 

Before warming up with his team for a hotly anticipated match against the New York Yankees, Verlander made a point of confronting a Major League Baseball official on the field. With a wry grin that belied a long-simmering frustration he and many other players have felt, he ambled up to the official and asked within earshot of a reporter:....

MLB is as corrupt as our government.
