I didn't know who to root for tonight... the Astros or the Cardinals.
After seeing Beltran and Biggio's names here, now I know.
Go ASTROS!!!
And now, Christian4Bush's "Deep Thoughts".
(insert Yanni music)
I was thinking this morning, one team is from the President's state, the other team's home stadium is named Bush (ok...Busch)...so that is a push.
My other thought is that, if Houston wins today, Boston and Houston would play in a championship round. That actually happened before, though not in baseball. It was in basketball, when the Boston Celtics played the Houston Rockets.
The year? 1996, which was the last year that the Red Sox reached the World Series. Interestingly enough, in both of their WS runs, they beat the California/Anaheim Angels (who, ironically, have won a WS more recently than have the Red Sox).
Just a thought. /deep thought
Now, for my pick: Houston, with Clemens on the mound, will defeat the Cardinals. Game Three will likely be on Tuesday, one week prior to Election Day, and a most important member of the United States Government will be in attendance at Houston to throw out the first pitch...after his WAR CRIMINAL opponent has once again bounced one in the dirt from the grass in front of the bump.
Just a reminder if you do throw that pitch, Mr. President: In Houston, we pitch from the mound.
BTW, my pick is Houston in five.
Just sit back and enjoy the show tonight. With the offenses on these two teams, either one would make a fine representative in the World Series.
