HOLY SHIT! The 'Stros are goin' to the Big Dance!

I gotta tell ya, I cried like a baby. Oswalt pitched a hell of a game, and the team was loose and ready. I wish they coulda done it at home, but it was sweet anyway.

God, what a great feeling!

1. Man...I got all my angst out last night.

Now I have to relive ANOTHER team partying on MY field.

Thanks.

But congratulations Astros. Now don't choke. :evilgrin:

2. The Sox will be tough, but my boys can do it.

The Sox have some pretty tough pitching of their own, but the 'Stros have the Big 3 lined up again, so we'll see. It should be a good Series.

Sorry to party on your turf, but as always, the St. Louis fans showed class and gave it up for the Astros. You guys have great fans. If we had been in Philly, we would have been showered with feces.

3. The bitter taste of another choke job is STILL in my mouth.

Tony LaRussa is just good enough to break your heart.

5. I need to stay out of these threads until I can be ha[[y for my friends

who are Astros fans.

:(

6. Ain't no thing, man. It's only game, after all.

In the grand scheme of things, it's small potatoes. I don't mind you giving me the business about my teams. I like who I like and make no apologies for my allegiances. It's all in fun, anyway.

7. Hey...Todd Baxter is resigning!!!

So, life is REALLY GOOD today! :bounce:

9. District 48 State Rep.

Sorry.

Couldn't resist.

4. GO ASTROS!

Sorry to the Cards' fans.

Jandrok, I know I keep saying this, but... i know how you feel. I know how excited you are. Mine was just three years ago and sometimes I still can't believe it.

GO ASTROS!

[jandrok]

8. Right on, bertha!

I appreciate the support, and there's plenty of room on the bandwagon for anyone else who wants to get on.

It truly IS a great feeling. That big noise you heard last night was the collective sigh of relief of many, MANY thousands of 'Stros fans. You know, I was on a work assignment in the LA area three years ago when the Halos were deep in the playoff hunt. The excitement was palpable. I was glad to see you win it.

Now we just gotta beat up the Sox. If we win the whole enchilada, I'll be in sports heaven.

10. Today's Houston Chronicle is a collector's item.

Not just for the headline: Houston, We Have a Pennant. Or the special section: Bring On the World.

There's also icing in the cake (City & State Section): Warrant Out for Arrest of Tom DeLay!
