Go 'Stros part 2

So, the White Sox won the World Series, and they won it in 4 games. That is a little disappointing. It would have been nice if the Astos could have won at least one game.

Even though it was a 4 game win, it was a hard fought series, yes? Let us not forget the one game that went until 2am! And it was longer than the 18 inning game in the penant race!

One thing I was glad to see is the amount of fans, who, in the end, were still proud that we were in the World Series. This is a new age of Houston fans. In the past, losing would have made the team persona no grata. Houston fans used to be so fickle. Our fans are maturing I suppose and truly developing team loyalty over the we love 'em when they win but despise 'em when they loose mentality.

Better luck and a closed roof next year!!!

Go 'Stros!

I was born in Houston and lived the first 9 years of my life there (and the last 13). That makes me an Astros fan. Even at 9 when I moved to Western Mass. and had my choice of Boston and NYC teams to support, I stayed loyal to the Astros. That is just the kind of fan I am.

I am not a big follower of sports. I am alwasy interested in how the home town team is doing, and start to follow closely as things get big. This does not make me a fair weather fan though. I don't abandon them in my thoughts when they lose. I feel sad and hope for better things in the future.

Well my friends, the future is now! We are in the World Series! Yippie ki yi yay m*&%*# f#*&@!

Now my friend Hugh is a Chicago fan. I think his primary interests belong to the Cubs, so I don't know what he thinks about the Sox.

Now it's time for a little smack talk . . .
The Sox suck man! They gonna looooooose! Go 'Stros!
