Baseball 2005!!

OH BE STILL MY HEART!!! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! :
My Roger is the best thing EVER!! I love him so much...but of course I am preaching to the choir here...you all know how fabulous he is....I have been watching this game since it started at 1:09pm this afternoon...Collin is PO'ed at me because I was cheering too much while he was trying to sleep.... I only have you guys to celebrate with!!!
I love the Astros! I have been following them ever since Roger went there, and perhaps that does make me a band wagon jumper...? But everyone needs a reason to love a team and Roger has introduced me to the fantastic Astro team... ssshhhh I think I love them more than the Yankees...dont' tell anyone....
Listen to this though folks, my grandmother passed away a week ago Sunday (9/25/05). She and I were very close and it was devastating to me. She was a very elegant, proud, sophisticated woman (with an obsession for cleaning!!) Leaving her in the cemetary in the ground was the worst part for me and I lost it...I wanted to curl up there on the ground with her that day and stay forever... Anyway, (so NOT trying to bring this thread down but I have something to say!!)
I hear people talk about "signs" from their deceased loved ones all the time. So I started looking for them from my Grandmother....well tonight, the kid that hit the home run to win it...his last name was Burke....

That was my mother's maiden name, my grandmother's married name....she was buried next to her first husband, Elmer Burke in the Glendale Cemetary on Burke Road....
I think my grandmother is ok now....

Maybe I am just being sentimental and looking for these things but it's there....it's out there...and it consoles me...
I am SO happy for my Astros...I want them to go all the way!!!
OK, back to a happy thread!!! GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!!

Oh Jennifer....YOUR ASTROS WON!!! Your Rocket Man was THE BEST And that's the Yankee spirit...following your heart! You're not a jumper, you're a true blue baseball fan and you, Clemens and Andy brought that Yankee spirit to the Astros! I got goosebumps reading about all of the connections to your beloved Grandma, the "Burke connection!" You have your signs Jennifer and now, peace in your heart at last! God and our departed loved ones speak to us, send us signs in many ways and this was your night!!! I only wish my father and brother were here to watch the game...they would have loved it! You found your signs and I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! God bless Grandma Burke! GO ASTROS, GO YANKEES! No losers there!

No Freckles...my post, all these abitrary caps??? We're haunted!

Now, on to the Yankees!

Oh well....

GO WHITE SOX!!! Anyone but the Angels!!

[tatsxxx11]

Angels just played better ball...case closed! Yanks did not deserve to win this year...Fail Rod...133 avg...NO RBIs... And Mussina...geeesh, things don't go his way and he looks like he's going to cry! Thought we were going to sail when Colon couldn't play. Then there was that "quesionable" call at first with Cano But still, we deserved to lose. Should have left Bernie in the outfield...he's not fast enough and that collision would never have happened! That cost us two runs! Just can't win a series when your top hitters don't produce. There goes A Rod's MVP...man, he's being slaughtered today! Go Houston and White Sox...!

Go Sox!!! I'm so excited, I can't stand it!
