Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I think most everyone does
Phillies need two more games.
Phillies' bats go cold, lose World Series to Astros in 6 games
The Phillies' magical season has come to an end. They lost to the Astros, 4-1, in Game 6 of the World Series at Minute Maid Park on Saturday night to be officially eliminated from the postseason.
After holding a 2-1 series lead, the Phillies lost three straight games to lose the series, 4-2.
The Phillies held a brief lead in Game 6, but their bats went cold when they needed it most.
Astros World Series parade 2022 time, route and how to watch Houston's celebration
After a 2021 World Series loss to the Braves, the Astros are back on top of the baseball world, winning the 2022 World Series in six games over the Phillies.
This victory marks an end to Baker's quest to secure a ring as a manager. The third-year Houston skipper has waited 30 years as one of MLB's most decorated managers to get his first in charge of a ballclub. That'll make the champagne taste sweeter, and the parade a bit more fun.
After their team came up short in recent years, Houston fans get an opportunity to celebrate with the 'Stros once again. Here's how to catch the parade in Space City this week:
When is the Astros' World Series parade?
Date: Monday, Nov. 7
Parade start time: 11 a.m. CT (noon ET)
As part of Houston's celebration, students will be getting a day off: All schools in the Houston Independent School District will be closed so they can take in the parade.

The Astros' parade route begins at Smith and Preston, and will travel 1.7 miles, finishing at Tuam Street.
Furniture store owner wins $75M on World Series bets
The Houston Astros World Series win was a great accomplishment for the team and the city, but for Houston furniture store owner Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, it was especially rewarding.
According to Forbes, McIngvale put down $10 million in bets on the Astros to win the World Series. Not long after, the Astros won the series, and McIngvale won $75 million.
With the Astros winning their second World Series, McIngvale took to Twitter to show off the suitcase of money he made on the gamble. He also took time to thank the city of Houston, the Astros, his wife Linda, and everyone else for supporting the team through the series.
“This last week has been especially… beyond words,” McIngvale said in a tweet. “An incident that was just me trying to defend my city, and our team galvanized the city. It’s beyond words my gratitude for all of you always having my back. What can I say?”
He also had the honor of throwing out the first pitch before Game 6 started, which he also tweeted out.
The bet included $30 million from Caesars Sportsbook alone, which was the biggest payout in U.S. sports betting history, according to the company.
