I'm not originally from Chicago, but I am a lifelong Cubs fan living in Houston. While it was fun watching the Cubs get the better of the Astros this year, I really have to admire the heart and winning attitude of these guys here in Houston, and that's why I am pulling for them. There's something special about a team on which none of the players (not even Clemens) is bigger than the game.

Houston was great -- lived/worked there 1998-2000. Is Westheimer and Hillcroft still Westheimer and Hillcroft? That's close to where I lived, and there used to be a guy at that intersection with no arms or legs. He would scoot back and forth on a skateboard, taking money from people in cars, with a cup which he extended out several feet, using only a straw and his mouth. I used to give him a little money whenever I saw him; I can't imagine life without arms or legs. I still am in awe of that whole scene. The only time I lived in a big city.
