Tonight, I’m celebrating the 2023 Houston Astros.

One last rum and cigar for Strobu, a cigar and tequila for me, and one more time wearing the appropriate celebratory hardware. It was a frustrating way to end the year, but if you told me a decade ago that in the span of 7 years we’d have 7 straight ALCS appearances, 4 World Series appearances, and 2 rings, I’d have thought you were crazy. We’re in the golden age of Astros baseball, and I’m just happy I’ve gotten to experience it.

Our window is still open, we’ll be back next year. 121 days until Spring Training!
