Houston "Astros" World Champions


The "'Stros" just completed a 5-1 win over the Los Angeles "Dodgers" at Chavez Ravine. Not the Game 7 nerve-frying drama of much of the series, especially Game 5's  10-inning, 7 home run DoS attack. I give the game of baseball this: it is the only major sport without momentum. Which is mind-numbing. Which is also thrilling in the surprise when something happens that you didn't see coming.

It was a GREAT series and for the battered, embattled city of Houston, their Boys of November brought home the first World Series trophy in the club's 57 year history. It ain't gonna clean up Hurricane Harvey but it soothes the soul a little to be able to say, "Houston Astros, World Champions.!" Rejoice for the city and the people. God keep Houston.
