WOW
I've told you many times I've been an Astros fan since 1974 and I remember watching game five against the Phillies in 1980 when we had a lead over Philadelphia in the 8th inning in game five of the NLCS (five game series back then) with Nolan Ryan on the mound, saying to myself "We're going to the World Series!!!" only to watch the Astros lose in extra innings
I found myself WANTING to say it again in game five this year when we had two out and two strikes on Eckstein, then with two strikes on Edmonds BUT I remember that horrible night in 1980 like it was yesterday. Of course Pujols hit the home run

Thankfully we won Game 6 and are now in the World Series for the first time in club history!! :thumbs:
Yeah well okay, the first two games of the series didn't go so well BUT we've got Oswalt going in Game 3 tomorrow :thumbs:
I had to post in THIS THREAD because today I find a freakin' STACK of boxes at my back door :0 :0 :0 I got the crap bombed out of me by three Texas guys:
Lopaka
Grand Cru No. 2
Peekay
You guys made my DAY!!! Peekay even included some "Astros" regalia that a guy like me who lives in Connecticut could NEVER get at this point!!!
Thanks so much to all three of you!! It's a pleasure and an honor to be bombed by some good ole boys from the Republic of Texas!!! As I mentioned, I've been an Astros fan for a long time but have only actually been to Texas once in my life in 1993 and that was to Dallas, not Houston. One of these days........
Thanks again you three for the NICE cigars and the "extras" :thumbs:
