2017 World Series Thread: Cosjobs washes his shirt & dooms the Astros to a game 7 (1 Viewer)

[Daywalker]

It's crazy that MLB hasn't done everything to make J. Altuve a household name.

The advantage MLB has over any sport is you can be any shape or size and still be the best.  That should be their whole marketing campaign.

How are we not annoyed by a Judge/Altuve commercial?

 

[Aerial Assault]

Congrats to the Astros!  Epic series, horrible Game 7.  Very worthy champs to say the least. 

 

[Ignoramus]

Springer gotta be MVP, right?

I sure think so

 

[timschochet]

Hey congrats to all the Houston fans!

 

[GregR]

  Astros!   This town needed this!

 

[kevzilla]

@cosjobs hope you really stink about right now

Smells like money, imo

 

[Eephus]

Congrats to the Dodgers for keeping their streak alive

 

[GregR]

Amazing win.

I couldn't decide on watching live or not watching at all, so I gave it an hour and a half tape delay and fast forwarded dead time to catch up.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Great postseason.

Great Series.

Happy that the Astros, their fans, and the city of Houston gets to have this.

 

 

[Epic Problem]

Can't even imagine how many Astros fans are going to be bloodied outside Doyers Stadium tonight.

 

[GregR]

Loved seeing Morton finish out the game like that.

 

[dickey moe]

Sad Puig makes me happy.

What do you have against Cubans with muscles?

 

[Da Guru]

Turner is a 6 slot guy hitting third. Bellinger was great for his age but the 3-4 holes killed LA.

 

[LOCO]

can't believe it.  my home team is WS champs.

 

[Eephus]

Guys who will also get Astros WS rings:  Tony Sipp, Tyler Clippard, Jordan Jankowski Norichika Aoki, Teoscar Hernandez, Max Stassi

 

[GregR]

Celebrated by taking a lime sparkling water outside, shaking it up and opening it and spraying it all over the place.

Then I poured it out. Because, lime sparkling water.  :X

 

[Eephus]

Pitchers and catchers report in 105 days.

I told my wife I'd wake her up by spraying champagne all over her in the bed if we won. Probably not the best idea I've ever had.

It's a shame someone had to lose this really. 

Dodgers are really good.

Yes, was a great series. Kudos to Dodger fans.

Dude I'm just looking forward to some stress free evenings. This has been nerve racking.

Always disappointing to not see awkward chevy guy present the mvp trophy

 

[Epic Problem]

Carlos, what are you thinking? 

 

[dickey moe]

Correa FTW lollll

 

[dickey moe]

Now he'll have NO problem getting laid tonight.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Remember when Charlie Morton was lined up for game 7 of the ALCS and everyone was talking about how many dozens of runs he was going to give up?

 

[Ignoramus]

Carlos, what are you thinking? 

She's Miss Texas USA (whatever that means).

 

[dickey moe]

Carlos, what are you thinking? 

This

 

[shuke]

SI got one right.

Got Cubs right last year.

 

[Eephus]

Happier times

 

[NREC34]

Would've been awkward had she said no

 

[Eephus]

It's one of the stranger late career turnarounds in recent memory.  He's been a fixture on fantasy league waiver wires since the Clinton administration

 

[GregR]

Would've been awkward had she said no

"But you didn't win MVP...!!"

 

[Buckna]

There ya are GB!   

 

[RokNRole]

NO floods and the Saints win a ring.

Houston floods and the Astros win a ring.

Im fully expencting a Browns fan terrorist to drop a suitcase nuke in a Lake Erie any day now.

 

[Buckna]

There ya are GB!   

Woke my wife up celebrating. She has to get up at like 4:30 tomorrow for work

I spotlighted him in the Bold Predictions thread

Better than my Shelby Miller pick  

 

[Dickie Dunn]

The amazing thing about the Astros and all those years of futility when they had three consecutive No. 1 picks, and two of them -- Appel and Aiken -- made absolutely no contribution to this.

I guess Correa makes up for it, though. (And Bregman, who went No. 2 overall the following year.)

Congrats. Astros fans! Very likeable and enjoyable team to watch.

 

[Capella]

Pitchers and catchers report in 105 days.

Don't ruin this one night. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Astros have a lot of likeable players. I didn't particularly care who won but seeing Altuve/Correa/Springer/Bregman do their thing is great and big fan of Verlander/Keuchel.

Also please everyone continue ignoring the awful post a few up from this.

 

[cosjobs]

I think this series  post-season has done more for the sport than anything since the strike.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Which happens first: Astros fans come down from this high/bender, or Dodgers fans get out of the parking lot?

 

[Eephus]

Yes, was a great series. Kudos to Dodger fans.

Nah

 

[Northern Voice]

I think this series has done more for the sport than anything since the strike.

Could be... games 1-5 had fewer viewers than 2016 but game 6 had a huge spike. Will be interesting to see what numbers are for this (honestly not very compelling) game 7.

*as compensation for not signing Aiken, they got the Bregman pick.

I miss baseball already

 

[Capella]

I miss baseball already

It's hockey time

 

[GregR]

Cool seeing the local stations catch Biggio and Bagwell on the field after the game, seeing that they got to be there and experience this.  Wish they'd been able to get one as players.
