:P

[Reciprocity]

29. Yes this what it’s like to be a Astros fan.

I must say it’s not as bad as when we lost to the Mets in seventeenth inning if memory serves.

[mermaid]

31. Sixteenth Inning, Actually

1986 is PRECISELY why the Mets are on my Shit List...18 years later!!

They will NEVER come off my shit list...and neither will the Cardinals!

[No2W2004]

37. no, that was much worse for me personally,

cause I WAS THERE! :argh:

[Reciprocity]

42. Sorry memory's a little faulty.

But I can still remember the headline in the newspaper the next day.

Met’s get off Scott free!

[SaintLouisBlues]

30. Great Series, Houston Astros!

Class organization.

[Reciprocity]

32. Thanks for the kind words and congratulations. n/t

[stlchic]

36. I'll second that...

Great games - and a great challenge!

:toast:

[Zuni]

34. The Astros played a mean series

these were some pretty tough games. I actually thought the Astros were going to win.

[GOPisEvil]

35. Congratulations to the Astros on a great season.

I gave you guys up for dead, but you pulled it out. A fantastic year - your best ever.

Back when the Astros were in another division, I used to hope for the Astros to win. But now that they're in the same division with the Cardinals...well...oldest loyalties win out.

[mermaid]

38. Understand

and, I'll hand it to you on some great games...Y'all didn't beat us up like red-headed stepchildren...we 'Stros had a helluva year...and we will be back next year...Damn, if ONLY Pettite and Miller hadn't gotten hurt, what kind of year could it have been??

Sorry, but NONE of my favorite teams has EVER, IN MY LIFETIME, been to the WS, and I cannot stomach rooting for the team that just broke my heart, and so, I'm a Red Sox fan for the rest of this year.

GO SOX!!!
GO KERRY!!

[GOPisEvil]

39. Astros gave us trouble all year...I thought they'd win the division this

season. You guys could have been REALLY scary.

[Reciprocity]

40. Mermaid I like the way you think. Go Sox go Kerry! n/t

"Sorry, but NONE of my favorite teams has EVER, IN MY LIFETIME, been to the WS, and I cannot stomach rooting for the team that just broke my heart, and so, I'm a Red Sox fan for the rest of this year."


Same here. If it wasn’t for the Rockets I would have no sports pride at all.

[flamingyouth]

41. I was rooting for the Astros

Mostly for Neil's sake, but still pulling for you guys. Sorry. :(

[No2W2004]

43. Ok....a few hours late.....

Congratulations to the Cardinals. I don't remember seeing so many spectaular fieilding plays in one series. Edgar just wouldn't let anything get past him. The catch Edmonds made tonight should be a highlight for a long time. They also executed when the game was on the line, and when your team gets beat like that, then you know that they didn't "blow the series".

Simply put, the better team won...as it's supposed to happen.

(Unlike in '86.....grrrrr...stupid mets...damn Knepper...) :argh:

I won't mind seeing either team win the Series this year. They both deserve to be there.
