The mods are usually really good when it comes to the WS and Super Bowl. They'll probably let it stay a couple of hours, which is enough.

Chicago is the third largest city in the Country and Houston is about the 4th. Everyone in Texas, the second largest state, will be watching. I will.

I was 11 then and I cried. It was a tough one. I felt like crying Monday night, but I knew it wasn't over.

Congrats to the Astros.

Another flame out by the Cards bats against some great pitching.

The Astros have a great chance against the Sox, although the Sox will be tough.

See ya`ll on the WS threads.
