How Bout Them Stros....?


Houstonian in Iraq

Recommended Posts

I'm sure everyone is occupied by Hurricane Rita. As they should be. I cant help but divert my attention to the Astros.

They are two games ahead of the Phillies in the wild card race

There is only 10 games left in the season

At this very moment they are playing against Pittsburgh and are up 9-4 in the bottom of the 6th

Will they make the playoffs?

If so how far? World Series?

Is it too soon to say?

Is it going to be another repeat of last season?

Do you even care?

Will they make the playoffs? yes

How far? They will beat Atlanta because of the pitching, unfortanately they will lose the other series because their offense sucks (or blows)

Is it too son to say? I just said it

Another repeat of last season? I just said it

Do I care? YES

I agree about the back-toback National League Wildcard Champs thing. Who cares - they didn't win a division and shouldn't be celebrating like they won the pennant.

But LET'S GO STROS!!!!

I dissagree, these guys have tackeled major adversity for two years now. They were 15 and 30 in april, came back to win this wild card and did it with either AA kids or 40 plus year old men. I think a celebration was in order.

Apparently, the experts at ESPN disagree as well.

The Astros, with their cast of pitchers that a Hollywood director would love, are the hip pick to win it all.

Never in all my years in Houston (except maybe in '86), have I seen so many national people on the Astros bandwagon. Hope it doesn't jinx them, as Keith Oldbermann thinks.

GO STROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But if, IF, the 'Stros didn't win it, I wanna see another team's curse go away and see the White Sox take this one.

But if the 'Stros make it to the World Series, screw plane ticket costs. I'll fly down there just for that Series. Wouldn't miss that for anything in the world!!!

Once again, I'll make the promise. If the Astros go to the World Series, I will fly all the way from Korea over there in time to throw at least one party there

Oh, one more thing. Beltran's with the Mets this year. Look at where the Mets are right now. And look at where the Astros are right now. That must mean something in itself, yeah?

Thanks, Houstonian.

You know, I still don't get the whole National League/American League thing.

Also, how can some cities have two teams in the same sport? For example: Chicago's White Sox & Cubs, NY's Mets & Yankees, L.A.'s Clippers & Lakers. What are the chances of Houston getting two professional teams in the same sport? I can't see it with football because our football blows, but what about the NBA or MLB?
