The World Serious :-)

[John Bridge]

Living in a city that seldom creates a stir with its professional sports teams, I can't help telling you all that I'm mildly excited about the Astros' prospects for making it to the World Series (that's baseball for all you offshore folks. :) ). It would be the first time in their history, having come close in 1985 when they allowed the obviously inferior NY Mets to beat them out of the playoffs. Today's a travel day. If the Stros can beat St. Louis once more tomorrow night or the night after, they're in. :)

That's a big "if" JB. I would like nothing better than to see the Yanks beat Houston but St. Louis got some big sticks. ;)

[Scooter]

I honestly did not think that Houston could match up with the Cardinals, but winning 3 in a row convinced me. Houston is on such a roll the last month of the season. The wild cards are really a lot of fun.

Just to throw a political issue into baseball, who made the following statement:

"History will prove me right, that the Wild Card procedure will be a complete failure."

The answer is below.

Think.

Times running out.

Give Up?

George W. Bush.

If the Stros end up beating the Sox does that mean that Boston is releived of the "Curse of the Bambino" and picks up the "Curse of the Rocket"?

[sdaniels7114]

One more late night up here. Its gotten truly nuts. I wonder if whoever ends up representing the AL will have anything left at all. The Sox and Yankees are going at it like war.

[Scooter]

The Sox are such fighters. Gotta love them. Unfortunately, I feel they can not win 4 in a row against the Yankees. But tonight is game 7, and we'll see.

[Bill Vincent]

When the series was at 3-0, very few thought that the Sox would make it past game 4. I'm hopin and prayin. :)

[John Bridge]

Well, Houston lost in 12 innings. Always tomorrow, eh? ;)

[bbcamp]

How 'bout them Sox?!?!?! :D

[Scooter]

Gotta love the Yankees chant to Pedro Martinez, "Whose your Daddy?"

But the Sox retort to Gary Sheffield "Whose Your Dealer?")

The real question is who is Steinbrenner going to fire?

[Davestone]

That game in N.Y. is proof that money doesn't solve everything.And i would only add GO REDBIRDS!!!

[John Bridge]

It's top of the second, and the Stros are up a run. Scary. :)

[Claudia Ramirez]

John-

How can you be on the board AND be giving your full attention to the game. FOCUS!! :D

[John Bridge]

We was ROBBED! :D

Three cheers for the Cards.

It's your fault, Claudia. You distracted me. ;)

[Unregistered]

Sorry John. There's always next year. Who ya pullin' for now? We can use the help.

[mizzou_kx]

darn :bang: - forgot to log in - that was me - celebrating in Missouri :yipee: :aparty:

[John Bridge]

I'm pulling for the Cards, of course. Otherwise I'd have to pull for the American League, and that'd be un-American. ;)

[Bill Vincent]

I'm not much into baseball, but it's great that the Sox were able to do what no other team's done, and I'd love to see em break the curse, once and for all.

[Rd Tile]

Sorry Bill, hope they loose.:)

Go Cards.:)

[Bill Vincent]

Ahem............ SCUSE ME??? :tongue: :crazy: :nya: :rofl: :bow: :stick: :aparty: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:






WHO'S YOUR DADDY!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[jjwq8]

Is that a multiple choicer Bill ? :D

Hey I could a rats patootee for baseball but the Sox have achieved greatness......................I think;)

[sdaniels7114]

Pigs are flying. Hell has frozen over. Never again will the year 1918 have any important meaning to Red Sox nation.

[Davestone]

I'm glad for the sox,but where the heck were the Cards?Four Cardinals landed on my pool deck the day of the first game, believe it or not, and i thought that was an omen,and i guess it was,i haven't seen them since! :)

[Bill Vincent]

Maybe the lunar eclipse had something to do with it? :D

[tdoyon]

:yipee: :yipee: :yipee: :yipee: :yipee: :yipee: :yipee: :yipee: :yipee:

Bill - how are the Portland celebrations going?

Theresa
Red Sox Nation representative in Houston Texas
(Mainer in Exile)

[Bill Vincent]

That's all ANYONE's talking about up here. :) They're saying the Sox are going to come up here for a parade through Portland after the elections. :)

Theresa-- where exactly in Houston, and where abouts from Maine? The reason I ask is because about 6 years ago I was down there doing some work in the Woodlands, and while I was down there, there was an "ice house" that I hung out at shooting pool up in Conroe, and the girl behind the bar was from OOB. What're the chances? :D

[tdoyon]

Sorry but that wasn't me - I'm from Portland (Deering Center :tree: ) and currently reside in Spring. Or as folks around here would say waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy up North. :stick:

And I have very vivid memories of the day after in 1986. :cry:

All washed away last night!!! :aparty: :aparty: :aparty: :aparty:

Someone asked me at work today if I was going to fly back for the party. Don't I wish! :cry: Have some fun for me! :aparty:

[John Bridge]

My question now is what does this say for the Astros? I mean, we could have got beaten out be somebody who could have at least beat the Sox a couple games! :D

Hi Theresa. :)

[Bill Vincent]

John, I have a feeling that once they woke up and realised they were about to go down the tubes again, ANYONE who got in front of them, they would have steamrolled right over. Think about it-- 8 championship games in a row. That's more than chance. That was a team with a purpose. :)

Theresa--

I do alot of work around your old neighborhood. I live in Bridgton, but I do work from Norway to Cape Elizabeth and Foreside. I've even done a fair amount of work down toward Ogonquit and Kennebunk. :)

[jjwq8]

Four cardinals landed on Daves pool deck and he thought it was an omen. It was. They took a bath:D

[tileguytodd]

Always felt bad for the socks when we beat em back in 87........Not!!! :)

Nice to see someone other than the Yankees win a series always :D

[sdaniels7114]

The parade starts in 20 minutes three miles from my house. Sometimes relatives and their needs can be very inconvienent :cry:

They are expecting upwards of 4 MILLION people. Insane.

[flatfloor]

I'll see ya in a coupla years Steve, next Mets - Sox world Series! :)

Congratulations!!! You know I was rooting for you all the way. :yipee:
