Who's watching the Astro's game?

[WestHoustonDem]

:wow:

[PDittie]

1. Me

I think I have fallen asleep three times during it.

[WestHoustonDem]

3. Clemens coming to bat! Who woulda guessed!

[muse]

6. that's funny!

Same thing here.

[Longhorn]

2. Me!

Will it never end (with an Astros win!)?

[WestHoustonDem]

4. 16 Innings - now the longest game in league playoff history!

And Clemens fixing to pitch.

[muse]

5. me

feels like it will never end.

I'm thrilled we are still in it, but it I fear it could end badly. We have our ace - Clemens - in and it sure seems like we should be wearing the Atlanta bullpen down a little more than we are.

7. Damn.... and they stop selling beer in the 6th????

:wow: :spray:

[WestHoustonDem]

8. Finally!!!!!

:woohoo: :party: :toast: :woohoo: :party: :toast: :woohoo: :party: :toast: :woohoo: :party: :toast:

[muse]

9. You gotta love

that Clemens gets the win!!!

[PDittie]

10. I was cooking dinner and missed Burke's homer

but no big deal.

:toast:


Now it's the Cardinals again for the WS.

[WestHoustonDem]

12. My sister in Atlanta called in the bottom of the 16th and I couldn't

get her off the phone until the very start of the bottom of the 18th. She thought she was being cute.

Note to all: Don't call me while she's watching a playoff game of any sort and expect her to stay on the phone, unless you want to do a play by play with me.

[WolverineDG]

19. here's a tip

don't answer the phone. :evilgrin:

[PDittie]

11. Bring on the Redbirds

[WolverineDG]

13. OMG

DARE I DREAM??? THE ASTROS IN THE SERIES??? (ok, so they have to knock out another team to get there, but DAMN!!!)

so, any plans for texas meet up at reliant stadium? :evilgrin:

[PDittie]

16. You should join us down at Minute Maid Park, Wolvie

:P

[WolverineDG]

18. ok

:blush:

[GOPisEvil]

14. You're going down. Cards rule, baby!

:7

[WestHoustonDem]

15. I've never forgiven the Cardinals for

1985. I'm first a Mets fan.

[GOPisEvil]

21. I've never forgiven the Royals and the umpire for 1985.

x(

[Reciprocity]

22. And I've never forgiven the Mets for 1986. Mets 7/6 in 16th.n/t

[WestHoustonDem]

23. That year I was living in Houston and

married to a Red Sox fan. It wasn't easy. I'm still in Houston but the Red Sox thing is taken care of.

[SeanQuinn]

24. Should I feel guilty for rooting for 'em then?

I'm a Mets fan, born in 1992, so really I don't know what went down in 1985. I know the WS years and 73 and 94 on well, but not those years in between.

Actually, I go to Mass with David Eckstein all the time in the offseason so that's why I'm rooting for St. Louis.

[WestHoustonDem]

26. Hey Sean! I'm a Mets fan too

Living in Houston I'm also an Astros fan, but I grew up with the Mets. Saw Strawberry's first at bat at Shea.

[PDittie]

17. yeah, yeah, yeah

...we'll see.

[WolverineDG]

20. yeah, keep talkin' smack

WestHoustonDem, Lisa0825, johncoby, David and Rachel Van Os, and about 15 or 20 of Houston's progressive activists.
