5 to go & still tied up

Nice job by the Stros to get out of the top of the 7th. I think the commentators are spot on; whoever gets hot first will win the Series. Go Phils!

Into the 10th we go
Good hit by Phil, pressure's on...

Good play Phillies
On to game 2
Triple sweep off the table

Way to go Phillies!

Wahoo!

And the bonus is I didn’t have to listen to Joe Buck. It’s a good night!

I don't care for the Phillies but not as much as the Eagles. that said, I like cinderella teams so I'm rooting for them.

I can’t stand either team left, I wish there was a way for both teams to lose! Dusty blew that game by leaving Verlander in too long.

Here we go again. Except for the real champions '93-'95 Rockets, Houston will always be known as Choke City, when it comes to major sports. Lol.

What a great game, hope they are all that good.

It’s a Philadelphia year, I think the Eagles will be in the Super Bowl this year too.



Sorry Houston

Game 1 went from a breeze lead to a nail biter. Came close to turning it at the end, but Phil had our number.
Hope their catcher didn't take too much of a ring with that ball to the mask.

Verlander is great till he gets to the World Series then he is just real good.

Typical Houston style we have to make things interesting.

Lets Go Framber!

C'mon man.

This is a joke. If anyone is actually visiting don’t go near the either one of these unsafe malls.

Didn't even know Sharpstown Mall was still in operation. My dad grew up in Sharpstown & I remember my grandmother taking me there as a child.
Greens[guns]point hasn't been a 'mall' for a few years. Not sure if there's even access into the mall apart from the gym, which stays surprisingly busy.

I've only been to Gunspoint/Greenspoint Mall once and that was 20+ years ago. I was in Houston on a business trip, and traffic to the airport had been light so I was going to be stupid early for my flight. I thought I'd stop in the mall and kill a little time. At the time, there was a police station in the mall and one of the officers inquired what I was doing there. He promptly suggested I turn around and wait for my flight at the airport.

I've only been to Sharpstown mall once and that was soon after I had moved to Houston the first time (~'05). I was contemplating buying a home gym and the nearest distributor of a brand I wanted was in the mall. I called ahead to make sure they had it and also inquired if it was safe as I was new to Houston. The idiot on the phone said yes to both, and neither ended up being true.

I drive by Greenspoint 2x/day & have watched it progressively lose retailers & whittle down to just the gym, even the police substation is gone, not sure if the movie theater is still operational, as it's on the side not visible from 45/BW8.

I've worked at a retail AV Store (more Audio than Video back then ~ late 70's) that had stores in those malls Greenspoint, Sharpstown and others.
Kind of sad that the mall ecosphere has deteriorated but it is not unique for any Houston mall ~ it is pretty much the same everywhere around the country, maybe a few exceptions but only in the real high dollar malls/areas.
The "area" of town really had little to do directly with the demise of malls.
That is an evolution of business.
