    Being a Reds fan, I usually pull for the NL in the Series, but I think it would be cool if Houston won.

    I was at a fight recently where, suddenly, a hockey game broke out.

    Ron, every time I see this thread subject, I can't help but shout it out in the cheer fashion. and do the accompanying clap-stomp.
    "LET'S-GOH! A-STROHS!"
    "CLAP, CLAP, CLAPCLAPCLAP!"

    Up yours for that. I hope you get the clapclap.
    It's about as bad as this jingle for a local chimney sweep.
    Inescapable. It will haunt you in your sleep.

    Thank you, I'm flattered. :p

    Actually I have been a Dodger fan since the mid-70's. I even went to 3 games when I was working on films in L.A. (No, not the naughty kind!)

    And my Viking nickname came from the very day (December 1991) I first auditioned the 2.3TL's I eventually bought. I was coming home from the Polk dealer and we had just had a bad snowstorm. I was climbing over a huge snow pile in a black leather jacket and the wind was blowing my long blonde hair. My mother drove past and saw me and said that I looked like a viking. :o

    Oddly enough, I married a doctor from Wisconsin who gave me a costume viking helmet with horns and long blonde hair the day we first met in person. She was a Packer fan, and we went to a Vikings game at Lambeau. I wore the viking helmet and everything else was Packer green and gold. Talk about turning heads. :p

    Holy CARP! Did I just say all of that out loud?

    hrm Astro makes some seriously good pneumatic tools, also Astro was the name of a mid sized Chevy van. There are "some" good Astros out there... :D

    That van was a POS, plagued with front end problems

    The only good Astro is a Houston Astro...and the Jetson's dog, was a fan of the Jetson's

    Both teams have had a great year. And I think these series is going to the wire.
    Everyone in America has to know how awesome it is to see Houston in there after what had happened this year.

    Even me as a Dodger fan I have nothing but heart warming feelings about seeing the Houston going to the world series and what it means as a City trying to heal!

    It Screams of what the Japanese Women did after the tsunami did to Japan when their women defeat the USA women in Soccer

    Then the Saints winning the Super bowl after Katrina.

    I love my Dodgers but I love my friends in Houston and know what the rally cry means to them!

    Neither side is going to lay down and it will be a crazy fight till the end! and that is what makes this such a special World series to me. I feel like I stand on the edge of a Ice field. I win either way! I lose either way!

    In a blink of an eye the Astros could smash it. They need to settle down relax and make good wood contact.

    And just like that tied :p

    The only good thing is Astros don't really have a "bottom of lineup"

    Just need to get out of another inning
