Astros beat Dodgers 5-1

Checking my pulse here...still got one. Good.

Frankly, I'm surprised I lived long enough to see the Astros win a World Series. ;-)

Congrats from a 50-year Dodger fan. They were by far the better team. The Dodgers were fortunate to take it to seven games.

[Conservative Gato]

Congrats Houston fans!

That was an entertaining series to watch.

Good for Houston!! A town that almost drowned won the series!!

[CatOwner]

Well, $242 million wasn’t enough for the Dodgers to buy a World Series championship. I guess they’ll need to spend $300 million!

[Terry Mross]

As an Astros fan, the Dodgers deserved to be there. Could have gone either way.

Congrats! At least Houston and Galveston has something to celebrate after a rough time with Harvey.

[Terry Mross]

In fact, I thought LA would win it.

But the most important question is: Did that guy who let his 14 million ride make the right decision?

[Angels27]

LA will burn in anger tonight. Los Doyers let their cholo thug fan base down again.

Did not watch but it does my heart good that Los Angeles, home of the immoral and corrupt tinsel town known as "Hollywood," continues its long overdue fall from grace." Congrats to the Astros.

“If you think the Dodgers are in the world series due to payroll then you haven’t been paying attention”

Wonderful.

[snarkytart]

Are they allowing the dude who made Chinese eyes with his hands to celebrate?

Gurriel tipped his hat to Yarnish at the first bat.

I also thought Dodgers would win. Before the series, and before tonight. I thought Houston had the better chance last night with Verlander on the mound.

It was a great series, even if Game 7 wasn’t as thrilling as some of the others, like Game 2 or Game 5, which were classics.
