<p>just a wishful thinking…</p>
<p>Yeah it would be sweet to see the Astros get in and slaughter the White Sox. I have always been a die hard Tribe fan, but when I was growing up and watching baseball and the Indians didn’t win all that often, the 1986 Astros with Mike Scott, Glenn Davis, and Nolan Ryan was one of my favorite teams to watch.</p>
<p>Clairvoyant? </p>
<p>My husband and I were at game 6 of the 86 game with the Mets (he waited all night in the Astrodome parking lot for tickets) - what a game, what a heartbreaker. </p>
<p>After following the Astros all my life, I can hardly believe WE’RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!</p>
<p>Congrats to all who love Astros!! Be sure to PM ThomasH32 who is on here all the time and is a diehard Astro fan who is away at school and cannot believe it. All alone on the EastCoast where people have never heard of TX. He needs a warm heart.</p>
<p>WooHoo!!1 I can’t believe the 'stros finally did it. That homer by Pujols Monday night was just awful to watch. Everybody I know was going “Holy Crap. They are going to do it (lose the series) again.” Glad they closed it out tonight.</p>
<p>The Rocket came home and brought Pettitte w/ him and now Biggie and Baggie get their shot!!! WhoHaaaaaa</p>
<p>Best wishes from Patriot Nation. We got ours last year, so we can let it go and allow someone else to win for a change :p</p>
<p><em>ducks to avoid projectiles emanating from everyone else in Patriot Nation</em></p>
<p>Ok what is the hat of the season? I guess we shall be seeing tons of ten gallons in foam rubber???</p>
<p>A sign of the impending Apocalypse.</p>
<p>I really don’t know who to root for in the series. </p>
<p>The White Sox are in the Imaginary League and are, well, the White Sox, whereas the Stro’s are from Houston and little good comes from there…besides, this is an interfaith Cubs/Cardinals household.</p>
<p>So will the boys of DC be sitting together at the games? And then there is the endictment…hmmmmmm</p>
<p>Ah, the 86 NLCS–what a sublime moment!!! (sorry–Mets fan…we don’t get to celebrate much these days, we have to reach waaaay back.)</p>
<p>So, who to root for?</p>
<p>Hmm. Well, one part of me says it would be nice to see the White Sox finally erase the Black Sox.</p>
<p>Then one part of me thinks it’d be great to see Biggio and Bagwell finally get a Series…they deserve it.</p>
<p>Then another part of me remembers that Clemens is on the Astros (see Mets affiliation above, nuf said).</p>
<p>then part of me is forced to admit that he is indubitably the greatest pitcher of our time (maybe any time) and it is time to let go of the hate…</p>
<p>Ahhhh. May the best team win!</p>
<p>Clemens was in the league during the '86 season. That guy has been around forever.</p>
