It would be nice to have had the Super Bowl, the All-Star game, and the World Series in Houston in 2004, but long-time residents aren't getting their hopes up.
As a Cub fan, I hope the Astros get swept. I'll admit it, I hate the Astros and the Cardinals with the same vigor that I despise John Kerry and his cadre of Sociocrats. Go Dodgers! Go Braves!
