    ROFL, good, I'm still going to wear my Houston gear (like always), I think I might try to get an extra backup Astros fitted 2017 hat, hahah, wear that one quite a bit.

    Only National fans can say **** right now. Dodgers and Yankees were at home watching, and the Rangers, are they still in the major leagues? Haha, not serious (about the Ranges but they can't say anything ever until they at least get 1 ring).

    I trust the Front Office more than anything.

    Regressing? We had all the talent in the world this year and look what it got us.

    All that matters is making it to the post-season and hoping you get hot. I think we can win our division next year, so thats what I'm banking on.

    I think we were hungry. Just too many various bats went silent for long stretches.

    Seriously, I have yet to see the rockets in the finals all my life...

    Cheer up people, could be a lot worse. There's nobody to blame, the offense just didn't concert and nats got hotter at the right times, props to them

    They gave Strasburg MVP over Hinch. I can’t argue with that, but I’m sure it was a close call. That puts a bow on this fine evening. See y’all in February.

    Strasburg 2012 shutdown justified? Seven year later, World Series MVP

    Like I said, this was the year with the most talent, this should have been ours...

    But the Nats window was closed too...except it wasn't.

    Will the team be less talented? Sure, but I think they can get into the playoffs and hopefully will be hotter then.

    Right, I know it was mainly a hedge bet but he was doing awesome on individual cashouts, like I wonder if he was betting higher or scalping some and just continuing the hedge etc. Was just interesting with the amount down etc.

    We kind of got Choke City and Clutch City all in this series. Strange series.

    Saving scherzer for game 7 was the winning move. Brilliance.

    Anything can happen. This may very well be the last time the Astros reach the WS. Never know. That's what makes me so pissed about this damn loss.
