DAT- 2019 World Series Travel Day

AJ and his boys had an incredible home record this season and the bats seem to have FINALLY woken up for the first time since the Rays series.

Orbit has something special planned, I can just feel it


This date in Astros History

October 28
2017 - Los Angeles blows open a tight 1-1 duel to score five times in the ninth, dropping the Astros, 6-2. Joc Pederson's three-run homer off Joe Musgrove was the big blow. The World Series is tied at two games each.
2005 - Thousands attend a victory rally near City Hall to celebrate the Astros' first pennant in their 43-year history. Getting swept in the World Series did little to dampen the enthusiasm. Owner Drayton McLane says "give us one more year" to bring a World Championship to Houston.
2004 - Houston agrees to pick up the contract option on outfielder Craig Biggio, assuring him an 18th season in an Astros uniform. Biggio owns franchise records in several categories and is coming off a season where he hits .281 with 24 home runs.
2000 - Andujar Cedeno dies in an automobile accident in his hometown of La Romana, DR, at age 31. The shortstop arrives with high expectations and hits .250 with 31 homers during five seasons but he has trouble fulfilling his potential and is included in the mega-trade with San Diego, eventually returning from Detroit for three final big league games in 1996.
1966 - Tim Bogar is born in Indianapolis, IN. He provides steady infield help for three division champions in Houston but bats just .207 when he gets a chance to start regularly in 2000.

Tomorrow
October 29
2017 - Some have called it the greatest World Series game ever played. Whether so or not, the 5+ hours of play was like a heavyweight prizefight. Houston took Game Five in ten innings, 13-12, with the Astros coming back from deficits of 4-0 and 7-4 while the Dodgers bounced back from a 12-9 hole in the ninth to send the classic into overtime. The Astros bash five homers (Yuli Gurriel, Jose Altuve, George Springer, Carlos Correa, Brian McCann) yet it is a short single to left by Alex Bregman that plates pinch-runner Derek Fisher with the game-winner.

just sayin'
