Houston Astros Parade
Self | 11/3/17 | Self

Posted on 11/03/2017 2:21:47 PM PDT by Terry Mross

750,000 plus in downtown Houston for the Astros. At the end when the National Anthem was played EVERY player held his hand, or hat, over his heart. Not one player knelt.

Yeah, and Houston, win or lose, doesn’t light cars on fire.

I wonder if former Astros like Nolan Ryan and J.R. Richard were on hand for the happy occasion?

The only demerit for the planners of the Astros Victory Rally was having Sheila Jackson Lee hoist her fat butt onto the stage and stay there through the entire program. But that’s the price Houstonians pay for re-electing this New York Democrat for 22. Pathetic.

Saints won their first super bowl after Katrina, and now the Astros pick up their first world series after Harvey. How long til “science” attributes this all to climate change?

Nolan was in the parade. Roger Clements was a commentator.

Good. No more kneeling unless you’re in church.

Well the Cubs won last year.
That had to be due to climate change!

Excuse me...I have to laugh at this publicity hound. Poor soul is both useless as a human being and certainly she is a 100%, deadbeat Congresswoman. She, however, has a great name,......the full unedited name for all of you to know is: “Sheila, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee”!!! I’ll bet BLM goes wacko over that. Am laughing right now!!!

Probably the biggest traffic jam in Houston history. 750,000 leaving downtown all at once ... During rush hour! Glad I watched it on TV.

Some seemed to be implying that when the series moved back to LA and the temps were 20+ degrees lower than the opening series. They were saying the ball would not travel, so don't look for home runs.

George Springer didn't get the memo -- home runs in each of the last 2 games.
