1. Boo....eh, n/m
I like WS like this, where there's a chance of a team that hasn't won in forever of winning...

Just make sure you guys don't get full of yourselves like Boston and Yankee fans when you win, k?

2. Not likely, Craig. The White Sox mght do that, but not the Astros.
BTW The Halos didn't do that, either. They're a blue collar type, led by a man who came up in Blue. :)

3. I need to pay attention to warnings.
:cry:

I wish I could cheer for one of these teams, but I can't. I just hope we get good games.

5. Good games... me too. I want it to go seven, and I want every one
to be a nail biter. I wish I could say that I hope the home team wins every time, but I want Houston to win it, so if it goes 7 they'll have to win the last one in Chicago. :shrug:

15. Sure you will. 2002 went 7 games, and my team came out on top...
but I can't tell you how many times I took off my hat or turned OFF the TV, certain that my watching was JINXING the Halos. :eyes:

7. LOL
I love the AL, but you know what I think is almost as stupid as the designated hitter and interleague play and six divisions and wild cards? It's that the league that wins the All-Star Game gets home field advantage during the WS. That is so bogus.

8. Sweet!
The mayor has asked people not to wear socks Friday, Saturday and Sunday as a show of support. Easy to do on the weekend around the house, not so easy to do if your employer isn't on the bandwagon. Since I'm still not working, it doesn't matter to me, I'm barefoot most of the time anyway unless I'm leaving the house.

16. No sox? I can do that too.
Do you think it'll help... A no-sox Californian in Southern Maryland? :bounce:

12. It's been a wild ride lately
Big kiddo is up and down, depending on the day of the week and time of day. Little kiddo is stirring up her own pot of trouble.

17. Personally I just enjoy the game and don't have any favorite team
But I'm going with the Sox this time.

Sorry Bertha, I was with you with the Angels but they lost (sob).

BTW, do you know what happened to the rally monkey?
