World Series Bound!

Recently I have been scrutinized for being a fan. I was told to quit being so excited for a team I BELIEVE IN! I was supposedly going to jinx them. Ok well heres my response to that, and those of you who know me know I dont get hostile often. When you believe in a team cheer them on. There is no such thing as jinxing anything! I dont care if you are superstitious do not come on to my blog and critisize me for being excited. Do not do it. I dont mind people having opinions, but if they cant be polite they wont be commenting on my blog. I do retaliate. Oh and guess I showed them because the boys pulled it off. Its all about who the better team is. I love the Astros. You wont catch me saying that I wont pull for them and be openly excited for these guys just so that some idiot is happy. Guess what buddy, the whole of Houston was more excited than me so get off my back.
Any ways to those of you who matter in my blog reading circle.... The Astros made it to the World Series. Remember weeks ago I took the stance that I didnt think they would because of the season the Cards had put up. Well as the series between these two teams progressed the more I could see the want in the eyes of the Astros players. Its people like Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell who have played for this team more than 2,000 games with out a World Series that I am more than extatic for. Its for the losers at the Houston Chronicle who marked them out with a giant headstone back in May that I dont believe have any right to call themselves fans. When you love a team so much you dont count them out mid season. You dont get into the Series and say they cant win. As I see it now, yes they can win this series. Yes they can get a pennant. I believe more than any team out there in the MLB association, these boys deserve it. It is a first for them. They have great defense and powerful hitters that are all underestimated in their value. They make people great then send them off to better teams only to realize that once they are no longer an Astro their big name is gone. Kent who? Beltran who? Big assets to a little team. Get big britches then cant do crap. Yeah these are guys my spirits rode on last year in post season. But the little team from Houston, Texas has proven themselves. They ARE the little team that can. But you know if they dont win, I wont cry. Im proud. Just like I was last year at this time when they went home to celebrate just making it to the second round.
So the moral of my blog today is: Dont get underexcited and then tell me to join you. If you love them join them in the excitement. If you believe in them speak up and wear your colors with pride. But if you speak against them dont comment on my blog because you are not a TRUE fan.
