Astros troll Yankees at World Series parade with Houston chant

The Houston Astros may be the 2022 World Series Champions, but they have not let bygones be bygones.

The Astros shared a video taken from Monday’s title parade in Houston, featuring several players taking part in a “We want Houston” chant.

Yordan Alvarez, Christian Vazquez, and others can be seen egging on the crowd as part of their revelry.

The chant and subsequent tweet were a shot at Yankees and Phillies fans that shouted the same phrase before the 2022 ALCS and World Series, respectively.

Yankees fans have carried a hatred of the Astros since the 2017 sign-stealing scandal, and Philly supporters adopted the rallying cry for this season’s Fall Classic.

The Astros swept the Yankees in the ALCS before winning their second title in six years, topping the Phillies in six games.

Along the way, they made sure teams knew what they were getting.

“They asked for Houston,” catcher Martin Maldonado said after beating the Yankees. “They got Houston.” 

The Yankees weren’t the only ones to feel the wrath of Houston fans on Monday — Sen. Ted Cruz was showered with boos and had a beer can thrown at him while riding in a military Humvee in the parade.

32nd annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade in photos

This bodega cat had a real identity crisis in the East Village Saturday.

Mimi, a white Bichon, arrived at the 32nd annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade as a “bodega cat,” part of an elaborate costume that featured the cute pup dressed as a feline perched on a store shelf full of potato chips next to an ATM.

Owners Kat Liu and Kevin Condardo completed Mimi’s look with the most stylish accessory in town: a stack of copies of The Post.

Mimi joined the Big Apple’s most creative canines, including one dressed as Jesus Christ and others as a lanternfly and pizza rat, pitter-pattered their way around the Alphabet City park with their proud owners, showcasing their festive threads and accessories.

Boston terrier JoJo reigned pup-reme, dressed as the King of England.

“I don’t really agree with the new king of the UK, so I thought I’d just go ahead and name my own king of the UK so there he is,” his owner Pooja Sunder, 32, said laughing. 

Fourteen-year-old ZZ, a Maltipoo, was dressed to the hilt as reality star Kim Kardashian.

The pup was “channeling Kim Kardashian wearing Balenciaga in the tape dress at Paris Fashion Week 2022,” said her owner, Ilene Zeins.

The Lays chip bag which she attached a handle to “was inspired by the pocketbook that Balenciaga just came out with,” the 60-year-old explained.

Prizes were given out in categories such as “Best NYC Costume, “Best Costume on Wheels” and “Best Celebrity Themed Costume.”

Former NFL referee Dan Schachner, who referees the Puppy Bowl, hosted the festivities.
