The mighty Houston Astros put forth their best foot, yet it wasnt enough. I am so proud to say that I am a fan of this team. They did a great job. Each game left you on the edge of your seat. They were exciting. Though I must admit that, yes, I did cry when game 4 was over and our Astros went home winless. They were amazing but not good enough. I do also admit that the other team was just so stellar that they were the better of the two teams. Sometimes all you can ask for is to just be a player in the game. I find that it is a great honor to have taken part in something that most will never have the opportunity to.
I am jealous however of Adams mother. She was at the Series while it was in Chicago. That brat. No Im just playing I love her. Shes wonderful. But dang I so wish I could have been there too. All I can say for next season is, try again next year boys. Dreams do come true. Long live the Astros!

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.

So now Im more excited than anyone can handle! Yeah baby!!!!!
So now Im more excited than anyone can handle! Yeah baby!!!!!
And they're off!
No Im not talking bout the dogs or horses. Im talking about the Astros. We have two more games at home in this series. If we win both we are in the World Series!!! Previously I had stated that the best world series in my opinion would be the Cards and the White Sox. Well upon review I believe that the best series Pitching Wise would be the White Sox and Astros. Thats the two number one pitching staffs. Hmmm so maybe I was wrong. Thing is that no matter which of my two favorite teams make the World Series their post season reality, I am happy and proud. They have both shown their right to that set of games. Nothing prides me more than a well played game. But for the time being all I can say is GO ASTROS!!!! 2 to go! World Series Bound!!!!

Return Successful!
The munchkin is officially home now. We got her from the airport yesterday morning. Then surprised my mother at lunch. Mom didnt know that Hope would be home yesterday. She really believed that Hope would be home today. We had that woman completly convinced of it. So yesterday was completely busy. We were at moms all day. Adam came over at like 7 in the morning. So he completely surprised me. I was not expecting him at all. Well then we waited at the airport for like an hour for Hope and she was actually in the airport the entire time. Yeah Im a dork I know. Hope took a nap while the boys played baseball and football outside and mom and I went shopping for a few minutes.
Exciting find of the day for me was that I got Adam and I wine glasses. I was so excited about that. So now we have wine glasses instead of drinking out of coffee mugs when we have wine. Yipee!! Then Adam and I went home and cleaned up and such. Watched part of the game, decided that if we stayed at home we would fall asleep. So we went back to moms. When we got there I got all up into that ball game. Boy did it get good. The Astros whipped up on Atlanta. But today they topped it! 18 innings at home and they took Atlanta! Yippee!!!
So after the game Hope decided that she wanted to go out. So we all went bowling. We had so much fun. Adam bowled a game that exceeded 200 I on the other hand never cleared 75, then again I never do.
After bowling we decided we would go back home to go to sleep. We decided to finish our movie that we have now been trying to watch for three days. But no we started falling asleep and went to bed instead. So yeah Adam and I are just really on weird sleeping schedules right now. But then again we always are.
He came and got me for my lunch break. So we had lunch together tonight. It was nice. Since I went to the doc the other day and she told me to cut the caffine, Im having a bit of a problem with craving it. Thing is before I had already more than 50% cut my caffine intake. So why is it bothering me??? I dont know but it is really annoying.

Round 2
And suddenly the Astros find themselves again facing the Cardinals for the second year in a row in round 2 of MLB playoffs. I am a huge Astros fan. Heres the conflict for me. I love the Cards too. But I pull all the way for my Astros. So if something happens and the Cards end up in the series Im still happy but I would love to see my Astros in the world series. I would love it even more if the good old boys won it. But Im a good sport. Last year the stinky team won. And lets face it they were not the best team. I am not arguing that they didnt deserve the ring. They just werent the best team overall last year. Like I said thats just my opinion. DONT GET MAD AT ME FOR OPINION. Thought I would make that straight.
All Im sayin is I am glad that those two teams are in the running and I know that the games that are getting ready to ensue will be good. Regardless of the fact that I want the Astros to win this coming series, I honestly think the best World Series match up would be between the Cardinals and White Sox. They to me are the two best teams in the running. But dont get me wrong I want the Astros to be the champs. Thats just me.

Return of the Munchkin!
We arent 100% sure of the exact date as of yet. But the munchkin shall be returning in a matter of days. If all goes well she will be home Saturday! Yippee! I miss the munchkin in a bad way. One day I will have to stop calling her that considering she has grown up and placed herself in such a position of distinction in my eyes. Does one out grow her childhood nick name from her older sister? I hope not. I do not call her this when people are around. But when I was on base for her BMT graduation I did call her Munchkin. She will always be my little munchkin, my mini me.
So for all the confusion and unsure moments I have had this week I eagerly await the return of the munchkin. I miss her so terribly, even though I talk to her most nights. It is weird for her to be so far away. I never got used to her not being in the house. Now that shes not in a home with either of our parents and nor am I, I am really not used to this. Its like some one is missing. I dont have anyone to scream at the baseball games with me.
So whats really cool about her coming home at this time is that she will be home in time for base ball playoffs. If anyone remembers my blog this time last year, we went nuts with World Series Playoffs. We are huge Astros fans. Yet again our boys are the Wild card slot winners! SO.... GO ASTROS! Updates on the return of the Munchkin to follow!

Score was 3-0 for game 5 of the NLCS! No one should count these boys out! Theres more heart on this team than in any other team in the National Baseball League!
