What a magical season this was.. It won't be forgotten as I'll be telling stories for decades to come about no hitters, immaculate innings, Yor-bombs, The Catch, walkoffs, and most importantly REDEMPTION.
See, 2017 was special because we finally won a WS. It was the first one for the Astros and any long time fan spent most of their life with a championship as something that other teams get to play for. Not us. Then that ended in LA. Next came the bullshit scandal following a horrific letdown in 2019. Fans and media ganged up and ran their mouths, ran their articles, and books.. Astros fans knew the truth and wanted redemption. Fell short in 2021 to a hot Braves team, then accomplished something epic in 2022. This championship was so damn gratifying because of the shit we went through post scandal.
Johnny Cash "God's gonna cut you down" is perfect for this team this season.
"You can run on for a long time" - all the fucks that wouldn't stop running their mouths about cheating
"god" is the heart, talent, skill, and dedication of the players and fans... sooner or later we were going to cut em down.
Not sorry for the long post. Go Stros
