November 7, 20223 yr Seeing the clip of Bagwell makes me wonder if he and Biggio still have some type of contractual agreement with the Astros? Personal services, team goodwill ambassadors, or advisory of some type? Caveat is I have no idea about these sort of things work, but seems to me like it would makes sense from both sides to pay those guys a nice salary to stick around the club and just be bad asses.

When my oldest played at POLL he played 1B on a team with Bagwell’s step son. Bagwell spent a ton of time with my son working on his 1B play. Was super cool of him and he was great with my kiddo (he wasn’t actually a coach on team so this was just him taking his own time) so outside of being a great Astro he made a big impact on my son.

Whatever it is, given the current make-up of the team/farm system, I hope they are already proposing a similar arrangement with Yuli and Machete when the time comes.
November 7, 20223 yr I can't, but when I woke up this morning the Astros were World Series champs so still a pretty cool day.
November 7, 20223 yr I went in 2017. My office is on the route so I imagine it’s already a pain in the ass if I tried to get down there. Plus it’s gonna be 85 with 1+ million folks

Especially Yuli. I’ve heard he’s about equivalent to the MJ of Cuba, thanks to his domestic career and heroism for the national team. Man, Team Cuba would be REALLY fucking salty if there was a more normal political situation and they’d field not just natives still living there but also emigres and the US-based children and grandchildren of other emigres.

So smart. Yuli/Machete would make a bigger difference with average 16 year olds on a certain couple islands than others might.

November 7, 20223 yr Those nine hits were spread over two of the three games also. Team needs to be way more consistent. DFA for errbody.

November 7, 20223 yr Realmuto struck out 12 if the 20 ABs after his homer. I think we pitched him great, and he must have been exhausted from catching so many games.
November 7, 20223 yr @Scraps , honestly what can they complain about. The better team win. Phillies had thier shots. If anything mlb has done what they can to stop Houston. Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G990U using Tapatalk Lol they are mad that the punishment for 2017 wasn't "harsh enough" Steve Phillips tried to explain to them the fine was harshest it could have been, they had draft picks taken away (Where caller then was like "OH yeah that reallllly hurt them). then Phillips also said if anything this just goes to show how great they are ran because they took the hits and are still in the ALCS /WS every season. So then caller started talking about college football death penalty and that is what should have been done lmao

November 7, 20223 yr Will the parade be broadcast on local channels or MLB Network? I don't see anything on the channel guide, but I believe MLB Network aired the 2017 parade.

November 7, 20223 yr Woke up this morning feeling like I’ve been celebrating for over 24 hours. Which I had. Que the obligatory Hedberg I used to drink, I still do but I used to too, joke. Lol This hangover is pure bliss after this year. Being on this thread almost every day was a lot of fun. I’ve read it for years but contributed some this year and I hope not too poorly. Ready for the off season discussions, debate over how to reload and ready for spring training. Thanks everyone for a great year! Let’s go get another one!

November 7, 20223 yr I've got a great view of one entire block of the parade route from Chase Tower looking west down over the Plaza. I'm guessing I see a couple of thousand people in that space.
November 7, 20223 yr I am still on a fuckin high right now, feel like I've been walking on air since Tucker squeezed that 27th out in his glove Sat night. Sports, man. Damn I love my Houston Astros and life as an Astros fan is prettay, prettay, prettay good man.

November 7, 20223 yr Having been lucky enough to attend Game 6, I realize I missed the Fox announcers, especially Smoltz, slowly dealing with the Astros' championship inevitability. I hope it was as glorious and hilarious as I imagine.

I hope it was as glorious and hilarious as I imagine. They were so openly rooting for Philly the entire series until the 7th inning of game 6, then started some perfunctory accolades for the Astros, like they were reading from a script or something.

AllI know is I love it when Bags visits the booth during Astros games in the regular season.
November 7, 20223 yr i don't know if this will make any change...but i think it's about time i do another round of trucker hats. details to come.
