Well that just proves
that they don't know what they are missing!
Last night, it was so quiet in the stadium, it was awesome. People all over the stands were praying, hands clasped in front of them. Others were biting nails, holding their heads in their hands, yelling support. Every eye was glued to the field.. even the announcers were in extreme excited suspense.
So even if the Astros go down tonight, this will be a series to remember!

Only series remembered are ones where favorite teams played
For me '87 and '91. And the only thing I remember is that the Twins played and won. Think the beat Atlanta one of those series. Don't recall the other, St. Louis maybe? Dunno.
Couldn't even tell you who played last year.

That makes sense
But for me, I guess it's History that makes me remember. I remember the I-70 series, (think it was in 1987 or 1984 somewhere around there). I don't remember the dates, dates are like math with me, and often desert my brain. But, I remember it was the Cardinals and the Royals. I remember my guy John Tudor was the Cardinal pitcher I liked most, and I remember he was up against Brett Saberhagen who was my favorite Royal.
That was an awesome series too, made history also because it was the first MO game played between MO teams in the World Series (if I recall).
So this one, the one the Astros waited for for 44 years, will join my historical memories of baseball. :)

Yep, thanks!
I have my T-shirt from that put away somewhere, but it has all the team names on the back and both teams logos on the front. :)
Are the Twinkie's the Twins?

Yes, Twinkies == Twins (unless they're winning)

Speaking of T-shirts
Got my new one delivered today, John bought it for me for my birthday next week!
It's black with the Astros' star logo, and says:
Houston... We Have A World Series! 2005
YEAH! And it's true, whether they had won or lost, they did get there!
