    2017 World Series

    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.
    Reads a lot, posts little.

    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


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    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.

    May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one

    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.
