It really is interesting how much our expectations and standards have changed. It's so weird and new to be at a point where only winning the pennant is a disappointment. But that's a good thing.

Once McCullers was hurt, my expectation dropped to winning the pennant. Obviously it's not the goal, but getting payback on Boston in the ALCS was poetic and should be revered by Astros fans. Unfortunately the Braves were simply better.

Astros fans becoming like Yankees fans is silly with only one title. They take waaaaay too much for granted for a team that hasn't sniffed a title in 12 years.

Houston is slowly becoming known as a baseball town, and everyone from Crane to the fans needs to foster this as much as possible.

Did an Arlington Rangers fan just wander in? We were saying the exact opposite.

I kind of agree on the bandwagon effect. That happens.

The Astros have had more success in the last 5 years than in our entire history combined. We went from bottom third of the league to entering the middle third. A sustained run, which this looks to continue to be, is going to keep Houston a baseball town.

I remember going to a game in 87 and the giveaway was a lapel pin for the 86 pennant we never won. I held on to that as a little kid because it was the closest we sniffed. Times have changed.

I basically had given up hope based 3 things. 1. The Mets and Lindor screwed up the market with a 341 M deal for 10 years. 2. The lowball offer before the season. 3. The fact Correa stayed healthy and played well all season. Buuuuuut a little birdy told me they’re taking this seriously and putting together a package that is at least going to make Correa think about things.
