In the Astrodome this afternoon the Houston Astro's, with the best record since mid-August, mount an incredible comeback in the last 45 days to claim the wild card birth, knocking the Cubs and Giants out of the way in the final week. Meanwhile just down the street the upstart Houston Texans spanked the Oakland Raiders and their goofy face-painted Halloween costume faux-macho followers 30-17.

LOL, ESPN saying that Dodger Stadium played "All My Ex's Live In Texas" after the Astro game went final.

Dodgers-Giants, bitter rivals...

The Astros play in Minutemaid Park not the Astrodome.

Go Stros!

Dang, after so many broken hearts from Houston teams I became delirious, and couldn't spell either. Flashbacks to blown calls against Philly and the Mets, the Greatest Baseball Game Ever Played with Billy Hatcher's foul pole home run in extra innings and Ray Knight was so out in the 9th, Renfro's Instant-Replay birthing ref-botched catch in Three Rivers, Bum and 'Kicking in the door', the Tyler Rose's tearaway jersey and 50,000 Monday Nite Football Luv Ya Blue pompoms, the spike in Buddy Ryan's face, its all a swirling blur...
