Boy, never thought LA would go out with such a whimper.

The Vikings fan in me is happy for the 'Stros. It's good to see a squad that has never won

Good pitching beats good hitting. The Astros staff was able to keep the Dodgers hitters in the park tonight. So many times, the Dodgers were one swing from being back in the game, but the Astros made the pitch to get out of the inning.

Congrats to the Astros! First WS win for Houston dating back to when they were the Colts 45. 15 dingers in the series is a WS record. Great chemistry on the team and what a group effort.

Congrats to the Astros and Houstonians. I knew they were good, knew about guys Altuve, Correia but had no idea how deep their lineup was beyond that until seeing them up close this post season. 1-9 they can do damage. Bregman may be my new favorite player, that guy is just a ballplayer... he did plenty of damage with the bat, but I loved his guts in the field, especially those throws home. If they can keep that core together, they should be good for a while.

That throw home in the last ALCS game was the highlight of the series for me.

As a native Houstonian I have been waiting 55 years for this championship.
I went to the first Colt 45's game with my grandpa in 1962.
I was 14 yrs old then and now I'm 69

What do I remember about that first game well Roman metías 2 home runs for the Colts and watching a tall future homer ss for the cubs standing at the plate with the bat high which of course was Ernie Banks.

I' glad for the team, fans and city of Houston,
I'm just glad it happened in my lifetime

Despite all the complaints from various quarters, this year's World Series got great ratings for Fox, including an average of 25 million viewers for last night's game 7. That's the the second-highest for a World Series game in the last 13 years, behind only last year's game 7.
