Baseball 2005!!

Hey,

You Sox fans are acting as if you haven't been to a WS in 46 years-

And you Astro fans are acting as if you NEVER have been to the WS....

Congrats to all and lets see a great WS with no umpire invovlement!

[Lobodeb]

LMAO!!!!!

Very true!

[jennifert9]

What a night last night! I thought for sure it was over and the.....Pujols. Geez, I dislike that man! Actually I wish he was an Astro!!!
But we'll finish them off Wednesday for sure with Oswalt on the mound.

My heart can't take much more of this....And I'm so sleep deprived I am cross-eyed all day long...I am up until 11:30pm and wake up at 4:15am!! I have to go to bed early tonight to rest up for tomorrow!!

GO ASTROS!!!

ps If the Astros win the World Series, I made a deal with Collin that I would get the Astro star tattoo!!

[Lobodeb]

LOL! I made the comment last night to my hubby that since Paul Konerko is a free agent after this season, if we loose him, we'll gladly take Pujols. Not to mention the fact that he's a total hottie! Good grief is that man easy on the eyes.

But, not to worry about getting that tattoo, cuz who ever wins this series isn't winning the World Series anyway.

(Lord, please don't make me eat my words.)

Those sound like fighting words....go easy on me until we at LEAST get the Astros IN. Then we can duke it out!! LOL!!


Start chewing!!!

In '86 Donnie Moore of the Angels and Dave Henderson of the Red Sox played out the same scenario.

The Sox went on to win that Series and lose in the WS.

One strike away...

Moore killed himself a few years later because of the crap he got for that one pitch.

----------------------------------------

One ball, one strike, one inning, one game at a time.

[jennifert9]

Why, oh why did we not just walk Pujols...? What in the world were they thinking?! Load up the bases, strike the NEXT guy out...

You know, they were calling Phil Garner a "genius" BEFORE yesterday's game...I can't imagine what they are saying now....?

Anyway, I will not keep rehashing it...*repeat, repeat, repeat* I will look forward to Wednesday's win instead!

[ParNone]

Okay I can finally post on this thread. I've been holding my tongue so as not to jinx'em. Don't have to anymore, because

WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!

Unbelievable!!! I was actually crying that we finally made it. And Jennifer, I got you beat, I've been an Astro fan for 40 years, even through the awful ugly orange rainbow uniform years.

Gotta LOVE those 'Stros!!!!

Par...

[Lobodeb]

See you in Chicago!!!

I hope this turns out to be a great series!

Good luck to all!

I think that they should play at least one game in those unis.....

And put the Sox in those shorts they wore for one day.

Sell beer for a dollar, peanuts for a quarter a bag and bring back Jimmy Carter.....

[RICHARD]

I think a sweep in Houston is called for.....


And WTF??

Posednick???

Give me a easier name to spell and pronounce for Pete's sake....this is the World Series....

[RICHARD]

Thank God you aren't a professional wrestling fan!

This year I am rooting for the best team.

The Sox, because they haven't won in 80 some odd years (next year?Cubbies!!!)

The 'stros, cause they never been....

And the Cards, I love a good comeback!


=========================

Baseball is a frigging religion.


THERE IS NOTHING LIKE being inside a stadium when the home team hits a tater like the one that Pujols hit last night.

On the road it's a sudden slap to the head of 40,000 people. Have you ever untied a balloon and let the air escape on your face?

There is something scary about a homerun that absolutely ruins a crowd.
It's flying a kite and watching it crash to the ground. It's one good lick to an ice cream cone and watching the scoop hit a hot July sidewalk.
It's starting the washer and remembering your red sweater is among your white pants.


You can stand there and stare all you want, you can't do a danged thing about it.


If you think that is bad, try walking among the zombies filing out to the parking lot-they came looking for life-Instead they are destroyed by a horsehide ball out of the park, and a white ash bat deep to the heart.


The nice part about baseball is that there always is tomorrow.

And after that is the off season.

[RICHARD]

go baseball!!!

Baseball god,

Keep the fans out of their seats, their vocal cords moist and the experience that once-in-a-lifetime kick where you can say, "I remember that game!"

Keep the players safe, the umps on the up-and-up and the jalepenos on the nachos zippy.

Please make the great plays, greater, the great players, legendary and
Give us nine innings of great baseball.

amen.
