I'm not watching. I'm still too pissed off about how my team choked.


At least the Yankees are out. That's my only consolation.

Yes, an exciting series so far. Of both teams, I know the Astros a bit better, but I really have no attachment to either team. So it makes the play being close exciting, but without the stress. biggrin

Last baseball game I watched was the year Mickey Mantle and Roger Marris were chasing Babe Ruth's record

Took Houston 55 years to finally win the big one. Congrats.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I believe that now leaves the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies and the Washington Nationals (former Montreal Expos) as the only teams with no WS championships.

PM. you are not being PC. Tampa Bay removed the word 'devil' from their name in 2008.

Oh, oops. Sorry about that! I wonder if the Milwaukee Brewers will be changing their name anytime soon? We wouldn't want to be promoting alcoholism now would we? biggrin

Great series. It was fun to watch. I'm glad Verlander got a ring.

Maybe the Brewers can change their name to the Milwaukee Bottled Waters.

God NO.....All those plastic bottles floating in the ocean??? The Greenpeace, Tree Hugging Hippies will explode.

I say we should call them "Milwaukee Non Gender / Everyone's a Winner Team"
