Astros beat the Cardinals 5-1 in St. Louis tonight, to win the series 4 games to 2. Their first trip to the World Series in 9 playoff appearances.

World Series starts Saturday in Chicago.

They showed a lot of character after that tough loss two nights ago. Oswalt was unhittable tonight.

[Sally'sConcerns]

Thanks, she was a true fan, win or lose.

She listened to the game and kept the box office scores in green spiral notebooks where she made the graphs with a ruler...every night.

She died in '71 but tonight I'm really missing her.

I was just telling dh that I have to go search for those t-shirts tomorrow morning for the kids and for him. I'm thinking Walmart or Academy.

[NYTexan]

Way Cool!!!

Now If we could just get the Texans into playoff form!

Thought the stros were dead after pujols ripped out their heart and made them eat it...i'm going to check ebay for tic's. bring the big checkbook...

[surelyclintonsbaddream]

BUMMER!!! BUMMER!!! BUMMER!!!

Congratulation, great pitching.

Now that this is over I have only 2 question.

Who took our Cardinals and what did they do with them?

Can you sue a team over emotional distress?????

[TheMom]

Oh yeah.

We figured out how we can help the 'Stros win the World Series . . . but I ain't gonna discuss it here.

[admiralsn]

I wait at least a week or so to head toward Florida.

[centexan]

How sweet it is. I've been a fan since the mid 60's - this is sweet.

[TheMom]

Now If we could just get the Texans into playoff form!

ummmm . . . winning at least on game would be a good start!!!

[Alexis the Bengal Kitty]

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!!!1111

[Squantos]

It's been tried and those who tried were tried.......:o)

Don't do it Mommy ! (gheesh that sounds wrong don't it)

[Flyer]

You out there somewhere?

I need to hear you holler!

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

I am not a big baseball fan, but I try to go to 2-5 games a year and have since they played in Colt Stadium. This is wonderful for their entire organization and the city of Houston.

Further, I predict no riots tonight or when we win the World Series.

[admiralsn]

Can you sue a team over emotional distress?????

Yes. As a long time Astros fan, I was already checking with legal counsel on that one.

[Sally'sConcerns]

Not blue flowers but colors in the 'stro's colors. It would have been a bit more difficult if they'd won in '86 with the multi-color stripes. Guess I'll have to see about a small banner on the arrangement with Astro's 2005 on it.

Now that's it's happened, I need to contact the cemetary about regulations and all. And contact a florist. And see about driving down to Dallas where she's buried. And...

I'll talk to my sister tomorrow to see if she wants to meet up in Dallas.

Right now I'm not making much sense because I'm so excited. Heck, I remember swatting mosquito's at Colt 45 stadium.

[hummingbird]

I'm thinking Walmart or Academy.

You might check Oshman's, too. Beware of counterfeits, I'm told, although I don't think I would even be able to tell the difference! Mr. h says check for the sticker that says it is officially licensed product of major league baseball. Sumtin' like that!

WHOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO......!!!!

GIDDYUP, ASTROS!!!!!
