Ode to My Astros

In a way, I'm glad the Astros are out of it so I can stop being so fucking stressed out all the time. However, in a billion other ways, I'm sad it's over. The Astros are now and forever will be my favorite sports team and it may seem foolish to some of you that I would let a game upset me so much. I don't think it's crazy and if you feel the

Hi Jeff this is Sarah ("Amazing" Ryan's lady friend),

I totally agree with what you said about the nostalgic joy that comes back everytime the Astros play. Back in the day, I was one of those baby's dressed up in the Astros baby-jumper (with sunglasses) being held up by Dad as he cheered on our homegrown "bad news Bears". Everytime I see the Astros play, on TV or at the Juice Box, all of those good memories (which I hope to pass on to my kids one day) come whooshing back. This season was totally amazing and it was so much fun to see our guys really kick some ass for a while. There is no shame in losing in a game 7 to the Cards. We fought them tooth and nail all the way. I am a bit glad it is over because during the NLCS I played baseball in my sleep everynight and was stressed to the max everyday. I am so glad Ryan and I went to game 5 and were able to witness possibly the best game in Astros' history!

I will add one to your props this season list:

Milo: You are so totally awesome that people don't have to be able to see the game to get involved in it. I love the way you pronounce the player's names: Carlos BelTRON, Jeff BaGWELL ... No wonder you are in the Hall of Fame.

yeah it was a great year, a lot of fun, but it's still difficult to not be upset b/c as a die-hard fan, you always want the ultimate prize for them...and hell yeah, milo rocks, even though he is prone to hyperbole a bit too much sometimes...i mean, calling dan miceli "the missile"? thats just taking things a tad too far
