    A little late posting but really enjoyed reading this. We too lost our home during Harvey. My wife breaks her foot during clean up. I got a call from family that my grandad isn't going to make it just a week after Harvey hit. He ended passing three weeks later on September 24th. My grandad was a huge Dodger fan and he was buried with his Kershaw jersey. Every year for the past 7 years I've flown out for his birthday which would have been October 24th. I would have loved spending that week watching the World Series together. It was a very emotional time for me but man I cried my damn eyes out when we won the World Series.

    This Astros team I will never forget. Neither will my liver... lol

    Yesterday was the first day I didn't watch any Astros playoff games since the WS, but will be making up for it tonight with Game 7 of the ALCS.

    I've never been more excited for opening day to get here. Used to go every year with my dad, who passed away 2 years ago almost to the day (Nov 19th). Looking forward to starting the tradition back up, now with my 4 year old daughter.

    Cheezey, so sorry to hear about your grandad (as well as losing your home and your wife). Wow!! That's a lot to go through at one time. Hang in there!!

    I'm kind of burned out from watching all the appearances. It's cool to see them getting recognized everywhere. But, you can't see and hear the same stories told over and over pretending it's like hearing it the first time. It's good to watch the first time, though. I do have a new nickname for Bregman, though. Mr. Alex "It's Crazy!" Bregman! He has said "it's crazy" more than anyone I know that would in a lifetime but in the last two weeks alone.

    To be fair to the Yankee fans, the 1927 Yankees would put up a good fight with a team of mini 2017 Astros. But mini Astros in 6.

    If anybody wants to join my class action lawsuit, please pm me. I have already consulted a doctor and he said that it is irregular to have an erection 3 weeks after the post flaccid episode. I know Im not the only one.

    790 is going to re-air the radio broadcasts of game 5&7 for turkeyday. Definitely going to listen to that as I recover from so much pie and by pie I mean pecan not sex. Never like sex when I'm that full.

    I bypassed Obamacare for AstroCare, and I feel GREAT! Now Oilercare almost killed all of us in the 90s, but it’s clear to me that healthcare is almost entirely reliant on championships. You want to beat cancer and cardiovascular disease, give money to Crane and Fertitta. It’s that simple. Its like I see everything clearly now. Phenomenon.

    no appearances/love for Keuchel? Haven't heard much of him..mostly been Springer/Berg/Correa/Altuve/Verlander on the celebration tour. Maybe he just wants to keep it low-key.

    He was.... not very good his last three postseason starts (7.50 ERA; team 1-2 and only because of game 5).
