Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread
- Thread starter canderson
- Start date
Like this for Dusty and Vazquez. Also, they won in 17 and the Sox won in 18. Astors win in 22, maybe Sox go worst to first again.
Yeah, I really thought he was going to win in 2002.
Edit - I am really happy for him too.
And this. He took a Nationals team in chaos and won 95+ games both years, then unceremoniously pushed aside for a younger dude. He deserves this.
Dusty and Mancini are the reasons why I decided to root for Astros in the WS. That and the fact that Houston has never* won a Series before so they're due.
How many of us would have been ecstatic last April if we were told that Vazski would be getting a World Series ring this year?
But we would have known by about May 3rd that it must be with another team.
It was nice of Maldonado to honestly admit on national tv his strategy was to get as close to the plate as possible and not move (to avoid an HBP) because the pitcher was having so much success with his inside sinker (to RHB). Just wait to get hit. His elbow movement was not avoidance, it was movement in to encourage contact with the ball. Credit to good strategy, even if it is chickenshit.
I'm really pissed that the Astros won, but also not surprised. The Phillies just weren't built for a title.
But I'm super happy for Dusty. He's a really great guy, and I'm so happy that he finally got his title. I'm also happy for Verlander and Vaz. It also helps knowing that the Astros sent the Yankees home early.
Other than that, fuck the Astros. And fuck Rob Manfred, too. He really needs to go...

time is an infinite loop. Sorry im grumpy for other reasons tonite. Plus no rings here
Fair. I save it for the last day of the season, however. When the long wait begins.
He was a big part of that Dodgers WS team, but winning for the first time in 30 years as a manager is a different accomplishment.
Congrats to the Astros and their fans. If not for the Nats and Braves they'd be in the discussion of the great dynastic championship teams.
I know I already posted something like this, but it's painful seeing the Astros win the WS. At least there's a few positive aspects though, like Dusty, Verlander, and Vazquez, and also the fact that they swept the Yankees in the ALCS.
Other than that, screw the Astros. I hope the Mariners take over in the Division next year.

And they disappointed Phillies fans, who are in my opinion a much bigger band of assholes than are Yankees fans. Yes, I said it. Prove me wrong.
I'd say Phillies fans are the second worst. Nothing can ever top Yankees fans as the worst in all of sports.
I'm tempted to put Astros fans as the third worst, but then again they're not super annoying.
If a war broke out with say, Canada or Iceland, I'm sure Yankees fans would fight for the US.
