What a series.

Homeruns galore. Back and forth leads. Back and forth leads in the series. George HW Bush rolling out on his wheelchair for a first pitch, and then casually tosses the ball to his son George W Bush to do it instead.

The score in Game 5 is 11-8 right now, Houston is up, after being down all game.

I saw all the celebrities in the stands during Game 1 in Los Angeles and immediately became a huge Houston fan. Plus, after everything they've been through they need this.

I'm not a big baseball fan, really just watch the post-season. This has been a great series and I want the Astros to win it, the city needs this. God knows the Texans aren't helping them any.

They did. Set several series records in the process. Not a previous Houston fan, I am on board their bus for the series.

I haven’t enjoyed a WS this much since 1991. Altuve just cracks me up always looking ready to explode at the plate.

I haven't followed baseball since the mid 90s !! My surprise was when I heard that the Houston Astro is the American League champion. LOL

I haven't watched a complete baseball game in decades...I switched this one on after hammering out 10 hrs. working in my shop. A couple cold beers later I couldn't turn it off. Frankly if every game of the season was like this I might become a fan.

Last nights game was fantastic. The entire series so far has been great. Stayed up way to late to finish that one out last night.

Negative, the Texas Rangers.

I'm a huge Yu Darvish fan. I'd love to see Darvish get a World Series ring, but the Astro's have played incredibly well all season. Those lads have a great ball club and really pounce on any opportunity they get.

I worked about 80 Astros games this year and Minute Maid was the most deafening place in the world Sunday night.

Verlander pitched well with the slippery balls, tonight is must win for the Astros...unless it’s truly blown wide open by the Dodgers early, I would expect starters as relievers tonight. We don’t fare that well against Hill, but historically they don’t fare well against Verlander either.

Almost all of the momentum is with the Astros at the moment. I’d get ready for yet another of the most exciting games you’ve ever watched.

Especially now that Altuve is out of his mini-slump? Watch out LA....
