Important News
Well, it happened.
Thanks to Jose Altuve for a walk-off homer last night, my beloved Houston Astros will face BarbinDC’s adored Nationals in the World Series. We’ve been secretly plotting this for years.
I will accept congratulations for the fact that nobody has to put up with Yankee fans this year.
My favorite meme that came true is this one:
Hope it’s a great series, y’all.
Years ago, my Aunt Lillian, who I miss every day, had two friends who went to every Astros game with her. They were all in their 70s. They dressed up in their polyester elastic waist pants and Astros tee shirts. They had Astros earrings, purses, and socks and called the team, “My Boys.” They got big cups of beer, complained about the price, and hid pretzels from home in their purses. I miss her every day, but I think I’ve finally grown up to be her. I’m real proud of that and I know she would be, too.
Congratulations to the “Boys of October”.
1This is going to be a blast!
2Big congratulations to the Astros and their fans. If the Sox can’t win it (and God knows, they couldn’t get out of their own way this year), I’m happy to back the ‘Stros.
3I love watching Altuve. He breathes action and potential.
Cheers!!!
4Can’t believe you didn’t post this so everyone could see it.

5Any day that the Yankees lose is a good day!
6Congrats to your beloved Astros, and to the Nats, who’ve had a looooong wait for the WS. And of course, I agree with RepubAnon!
7I keep thinking about the Astro’s old owner Drayton MacLane, a Baptist deacon and all-around bad man. Drayton gutted the team’s payroll and cared only about revenue not winning.
Dan Brand is a class act who knew how to build a team that will endure. Congratulations to the team and GO WIN THE WORLD SERIES. Then refuse to visit the White House.
8Yes, congratulations to your Astros. They proved why they had the best record in mlb this year. Good luck with the Nats that beat my Dodgers and destroyed St Louis.
9As for NY, I’ve been rooting against them hard ever since Reggie Jackson hit 3 homers in the game that beat my Dodgers in the 1977 World Series.
What a year! Bubba becomes a judge and it gets pushed below the fold by the Astros winning the pennant. Congratulations all around.
10Afternoon J.J.
11I’m purty sure your Aunt Lillian would be proud of you for a lot more than that.
GO STROS!!!
Congratulations and much gratitude to the Astros, as well as you and your fellow fans, for winning and sparing us from a World Series featuring the insufferable Yankees and their equally insufferable fans! Now, sweep the Nats!
12What a game!! If you haven’t see the Altuve story “Big Dreams” it is a worthwhile watch.

13I was 21 years old before someone told me damn Yankees was two words
14I have driven by Nationals park a number of times but I have never been inside. All I can say is I just can’t believe the Nats did it! Wow!!!!
15Go, Astros!
16Thanks, Aunt Lillian, for raising JJ right.
My lady told me about a meme that had pic of Altuve and Judge with Altuve asking him to water his plants because he was going to be busy next week.
17Awesome!
Totally off topic.
18But lately it’s been bugging the hell outta me that EVERY media organization has been reporting on Democrats’ efforts to impeach trump.
Democrats. Not the House of Representatives.
Not the Democratic led House of Representatives.
Democrats.
From what I remember, Trey gowdy’s mulimillion dollar taxpayer finded witch-hunt was mostly referred to by the media as an action made by the House of Representatives.
When Democrats in Congress perform their constitutionally mandated duties holding checks on executive power, they’re partisan traitors.
When repugnantcans use House committees to attack political rivals they’re patriotic folks doing the work of the people.
WTF!!!
I have only this day left to me to drive into D.C. to do business without encountering even more unusual craziness due to the concentration on the game. No one is going to be paying attention to anything else. Trying to think of a way to change my plans!
19yea J.J.! your team and my home team of DC will give us lots of excitement! Will 45 try to insinuate himself into the World Series being in DC and all? my family still in DC and I have several bets on it
20Yes, P.P., it’s called the free press. Get over it.
