Re: Astros =)

dude, FYI, its a big thing this year for the fans to write a goodbye message on the stadium. being that it is unnecessarily re built. all over the park ppl were allowed to write memories of the game and farewells to the park.

yep, there are messages written all over the stadium now. I've heard stories of police even passing out sharpies to people to do just that.

I didn't though. I didn't prepare for that to be the last game, so I had no Sharpie -- and no police were nearby to give me one...

Oh well. The pre-demolition process has already begun, BTW...

Re: Astros =)

Also, the upside of bowing out now is that it will save me a ton of cash. I would have gleffuly continued to spend money like it was going out of style if they had continued to the WS, but ending the run now will save me hundreds in tickets, beer, parking and cabs.

Trying to find a bright side here, so bear with me.

Um, we lost, it happens. That's what you do when you support a great baseball team/city, you brag about them and put them on a pedistal, because it's really something special in this city, not that anyone else would know shit about it. Was a great season, i enjoyed all of it right down to the final game last night. We got to play longer than most teams in this league, i'm not ashamed one bit for the team we put on the field this year. Looking forward to next year, and i'll be bragging again, because we know we'll be in it every year. And it's going to be quite a different look next year too. New stadium, and a lot of new faces as i imagine there will be some serious retooling of the staff.

In the mean time...

Go Stros!!! Looking for them to beat the AL like the bastard red headed step child they are.

I love baseball in this town. Until next year.

Re: Astros =)

Oh, you know what else was really cool?

Larry Walker.

Yeah, he had a shit second half because he was in a lot of pain with injuries, but that guy enjoyed playing here more in his 1 year and 2 mos than his entire career in Colorado. When the team took the field again to say good bye to a few remaining fans and the stadium after the game...the fans started shouting to larry..."One more year...One more year..." And Walker lost it. Tears. His post game interview before this happened is what baseball is all about here, i wish i could find a video of it, but it was just a local sportscaster interviewing him. What he had to say i won't forget. Larry Walker is all class. Respect. I guess something good did come out of Canada, EH?

I remember being at the first game Larry played as a Cardinal. He was brought in as a pinch hitter right after he arrived. He came in to a standing ovation. As it turns out, he struck out. He left to a standing ovation.

Where but in St. Louis can you strike out and still get a standing ovation? I love the baseball in this town. Good thing, too, because the Blues and Rams are pretty much terrible this year...

Re: Astros =)

People are hyped here in Houston right now. I listened to sports radio all day today at work and heard how excited everyone was. It hasn't been like this since the Rockets repeated NBA championships in 94-95. I went out too after the game and people were in a great mood partying all over town.

Hopefully, we can do well against the White Sox who are one heck of a team on a roll. And we do have a lot respect for The Cards too. They are a class organization and have great fans. I'm glad Oswalt made that Pujols blast not a series ending home run.

Re: Astros =)

People are hyped here in Chicago right now. I listened to sports radio all day yesterday at work and heard how excited everyone was. It hasn't been like this since the Cubs were in the play offs last year. People were in a great mood partying all over town.

Go Sox, whatever that means
