I realize the Astro fans would sound louder with the roof closed, but come on... show a little life, people!
You have to understand that Houston has a long, long history of seeing their teams collapse. It would be as if the Celtics and Bruins had never won any championships in Boston. The Houston Oilers blew the biggest lead in NFL history. They got robbed in a Pittsburgh playoff game so bad that the NFL added instant replay the next year in response. The University of Houston lost perhaps the biggest upset in the history of the NCAA championship game. In 1986 the Astros lost the greatest playoff game ever played. The list goes on and on, but we've seen it so many times before, a team chokes, messes up its head, and never recovers. This series we've lost the head of our closer, one of our setup guys, and now our best starting pitcher, not to mention that Roger Clemens may not pitch again this year, and may retire. It now is just a matter of when, not if, and the same old familiar taste in the mouth returns.
Reminds me of two songs, 'Secondhand Rose' and Howard Jones 'No One Is to Blame'. "You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim..."
