World Series at last!
The World Series. Go ahead, say it again. The Astros are in the World Series. Ahhh. It’s hard not to smile. Really, it’s more relief than anything, after that crushing defeat Monday. I’m telling you, at Minute Maid, no one sat down from the time Berkman homered in the 7th to the time Pujols homered in the 9th. Well, actually I sat down a few times because I was tired and nervous … it turned out for good reason.
But all is forgotten. Are we about to fully exorcise the demons of 1986? The Angels won in 2002, the Red Sox last year – now the Astros, the last heartbroken team from that memorable postseason 19 years ago – they can win it all. I know the White Sox have waited almost a century, but I think we’re due. It’s going to be one well-pitched World Series, we can count on that.
