Thank You Astros

It's already been a week since the Astros fell to the Chicago White Sox. Despite being swept by the Sox, there is so much to be proud of and relish as a fan. Despite being swept, the "good guys" never were out of any game. As heart-breaking as each loss might have been, this team thrilled fans, just like me, like never before.

Astros' fans, think of all the teams that have been fielded by the Astros in the last 20 years. The 2005 version was not the strongest team by any stretch. Yet, they were as opportunistic - if not more - than any team before them.
I'm here one week later wishing they were still playing. Of course, the season would be over by now - whether they won or lost. The memories of this season will last for a long time. I hope they last for the rest of my life. I hope folks never forget the excitement generated by this team. This season was fantastic and one to remember.

definitely not their strongest offensive team ever. losing kent and beltran really showed itself in the w.s.

but i completely agree about this team being so much fun to watch and get behind.

get some sticks and we're back in business.
