    I'm still processing it. Wow. Just hearing the words, "World Series Champion Houston Astros" blows me away.

    Was sort of hoping Beltran would be their new bench coach.

    I officially give up on FS1's Undisputed. Their leadoff story this morning? Not the World Series. Nope, it's the Papa John's CEO criticizing the NFL for weak sales.

    After 6 great World Series games, that was a dud, a letdown unless you're an Astros fan. - Skip

    They literally only spend like 10 seconds after every game to talk about the World Series.

    Skip is an idiot. If you looked at the final score without watching the game, you could conclude it was a dud. But the Dodgers had numerous scoring opportunities in 5 of the first 6 innings. So what if it was 5-0 and then 5-1? They were repeatedly a swing of the bat away from it being a 1 run game.

    If the Dodgers won, they would of lead off with them. They are hurting and it feels great. Crushed them and LA

    I think I am both stunned and confused.

    Stunned, I am having no reaction to our historic win. :eek:
    Confused, I just lifted my cup of coffee in one hand and my lighter in the other. :D

    With me, big emotional moments often hit me days later. I may be the most excited guy here in 3 or 4 days.

    Some random thoughts...

    -Now the Rangers are one of 7 teams without a title, and of them, the team that has waited the longest (1961 as the senators) for a title.

    -Soon the debates begin as to what we should do this off-season. The answers may seem obvious right now (better pen?), or maybe not.

    -Yuli, is probably my surprise performer this year. No, not Altuve or Springer or Correa. Yea, those guys numbers were better than Yuli's, but I expected near greatness from these guys. But Yuli, as of late May looked uncomfortable at 1st and was batting .260/.300/.391. Not terrible, but didn't look the part of a guy who was going to play an important part in helping us win a WS. But little by little, he adjusted and found his role. Hats off.
