Rollercoaster Brothers

Isn't it odd how you can be on top of the world one minute and at the bottom the very next? Aren't sure? Just ask an Astros fan. They'll tell you.

Down 2-1 the Astros took a 4-2 lead on a Berkman homer. They handed the lead to Brad Lidge, who only blew one save the entire year. Know what happened? Yup, he blew it. Eckstein started a TWO OUT RALLY, and with 2 men on, Albert Pujols went yard. It was one of those things you kind of just have to laugh at; like here's the championship on a silver platter, whoop there it goes, it could be, it is OUT THE WINDOW AND SHATTERED ON THE GROUND!!!!

After such a defeating blow, I think the Astros chances are about as good as mine are on Wednesday's Organic Chemistry test. Sure they have Oswalt and Clemens. But the Cardinals have something better: momentum.

Don't count the Astros out of it yet though. They do have a few things working for them: The Killer B's, Oswalt, Clemens, and of course, The Citgo Sign.

Yes, I did say that right. The Citgo Sign. It appears Boston is not the only team with a little gasoline aid in left field. Not to mention the wall. Though, not green, and not monsterish in size. The Astros do have a wall! Most importantly though, THEY HAVE A CITGO SIGN!

So what does this all mean? The Red Sox have a brother. With their own itty-bitty wall, and itty-bitty sign. It is rather cute actually. Now all they need is a not so itty-bitty World Series Trophy as well. So here you are - I'm only saying this once, despite the fact that I've fallen in love with the team and their style of play, because in the end its all about my Boston Babes - Good Luck and Go Astros (brothers of Boston).
