The Astro fans need to realize the game isn't over until the last out is called. They were so sure it was over. I know my Cardinals, I have seen them have a 5 run lead in the top of the 9th and then lose it in the bottom of the 9th. Don't ever count the Cardinals out!

Believe me, we know it. We did it to the Braves.We were just so close, it was hard to contain the excitment! Bet if the shoe had been on the other foot, Card fans would have been doing the same!

GO CARDINALS![only cuz I miss my hubby] My husband has his doubts that his Cardinals will be going to the world series but is happy that their last game of the season - win or lose - will be played in Busch Stadium.

Serate--my dh is spending the night at his friend's house (another HUGE Cardinal fan). I am so relieved. I am torn who I want to win. In a way I hope the Cardinals lose. That way he can be crabby with his friend and hopefully "be over it" by the time he returns tomorrow after work. So here goes: GO ASTROS! (He would KILL me if he saw me post that!)

Julie *L* you're hilarious. I'm torn cuz I've hated the Cardinals since I was about 5, but my husband has loved them for that same amount of time.

My son is 6 and has about zero interest in baseball. But because my dh has "brainwashed" him to a certain degree, he loves the Cardinals. (I know doesn't make much sense.) He also has taught Ryan to not like the Chicago Cubs (which 95% of people here are--including me.) Anyway--we (me and ds) go to our first Cub Scout introduction meeting. The head leader guys says to all the little 5 and 6 year old boys: "So who wants to be a Cub Scout?" All the little boys yell out "me" or "I do." All but Ryan. I look at him and he says "I want to be a Cardinal."

Oh boy, let's hope my dh never wanders into the clubhouse here and reads what I wrote at 7:17. He would hold me totally personally responsible. GO WHITE SOX! Nice season Cards! Good bye Busch stadium--you sure were a pretty stadium! Oh, congrats Astros!

OMG!! We are going to the World Series! I have been an Astros fan and season ticket holder almost my whole life. I am just stunned, awed, and so happy for my team! Too cute Julie!

Oh lord - it actually happened. I'm rooting for the 'Stros since they've been so good to my cousin (he pitched for them for years and has been pitching coach for their double-A team for the past few years). But if the Sox won, it sure as hell wouldn't hurt my feelings. Yay for baseball!!!

It's been so fun watching all the news reports and interviews! Fans met the team at 4 AM today when they arrived. The players were just blown away by that. I just practically sob everytime they talk about Biggio and Bagwell waiting 18 and 15 years for this! Bagwell could hardly speak. I have seen Roger Clemens do this when talking about being in the playoffs, but last night when interviewed he kept talking about how pleased he was for Biggio and Bagwell and how much he knew it meant to them. I was really touched by that. I still can't believe we are going to the WORLD SERIES!!!!!! i also can't believe that i have been a season ticket holder since 1984 and i don't have tickets to the series cause the couple we share with didn't option for them cause he had no faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texannie, I am a Texan as well...I live in San Marcos, but I lived in Houston the years that the Rockets won back to back NBA championships. The city was ALIVE during that time. With the real possibility that the Astros will take it all, what is the pulse of the city like right now?

Thanks for the news story Texannie. Your excitement literally leaps off the screen. H-TOWN is going to explode if the 'STROS do their thing. What a way for Clemens and Pettite to go out!!

Yeah, I am pretty excited! LOL I am more thrilled for Biggio and Bagwell. They are truly the heart of the 'stros! DH and I were talking just the other day that we will be in Cooperstown when Biggio goes into the Hall of Fame!!!
