    How About Those Astros

    I was afraid they would choke again after Monday night, but it looks like after all these years they finally made it!

    I've been pulling for the 'stros since 5th grade, and they finally made it. Now can they really win the Series? I sure hope so!!!

    I am cheering from the Astros!! Even though the White Sox are closer, I Just like the fact that the Stros haven't been there

    How About Those Astros

    For you guys in Texas, the guys at ESPN are picking Chicago, so that should help the Astros. I'm enjoying the playoffs this year and was hoping for this matchup of new, different teams for a change. And no Yankees or Red Sox!

    Cards played hard, but now they know how we felt last year. Gotta give them some due though - Monday's game was the most heartbreaking loss I have ever felt in a sporting contest. I can not tell you how much that hurt. Go Astros!

    I agree. Was pretty painful to watch, but Oswalt was a master.

    Last nights game was fun to watch and both teams should be proud of thier respective performances.

    GO SOX!!!!

    Tonights game was just as good. Sox up 2-0 in the series, The World Series that is. Have a nice day

    Congratualtions to both Chicago and Houston. Both teams played super games. Too bad the Astros didn't have stronger bats.

    Hats off to the White Sox on an outsanding season.
    Best Regards, Ken
