    Can we all agree that.... along with the wave, the shouting of "We're #1" should also be banned

    Just realized that we have HFA over all AL teams left but Baltimore.... but only one for the World Series. Braves and Dodgers have better records and Phillies have the season series tie-breaker. DBacks are the only team.

    May be a good thing if we get that far

    I think LA vs Atl is inevitable in the NLCS. No other teams can touch them

    Maybe, but both Atl and LA's pitching could be suspect.

    In a perfect world, we get to the WS and beat the Dodgers again.

    Crazy to think but if I knew 100% we would win the WS this year regardless of who we played.... It would be tough to choose between beating the Dodgers again or revenge against the Braves. I don't think beating the Phillies again would do anything special and the DBacks would just be sad in comparison.

    Without knowing (because reality duh), I would prefer HFA over the DBacks for a better chance of winning.

    LA fans are pathetic. I lived there for 17 years and they trash when they win but act like victims when they lose.

    They show up in the 5th inning of a game and act like they've been there the entire time... but if they're team is losing they disappear. They are literally an entire city of fair-weather fans

    In my perfect Astros' world, they win the WS regardless who is the opponent.

    Plus Dusty still gone afterwards.

    I just looked over our past history and realized that the two WS wins in 2017 and 2022 were with McCullers pitching in the World Series and the two loses 2019 and 2021 he was injured and never made a pitch in the WS.

    Can someone tell me if we can string him up on a stick and throw him out there for a batter?
