this game is “Fan” tastic

Since the networks pick up all the post season television coverage,I have simply been a fan for this Astros run.And what a run it has been. I have to admit, I enjoy the game more from the booth. It is easier to concentrate in that controlled environment,plus you have all the replays right in front of you. Pehaps the most interesting thing about being in the seats is watching the behavior of the faithful. I’ve witnessed good and bad. The sixty something year old ladies dressed like killer bees very good. The 70 something grandfatherly looking guy making obscene gestures toward the umpires very bad.And why is it that people who can stick their fingers in their mouths and whistle really loudly feel compelled to do this non stop for all nine or 18 innings.They seem to be very proud of this skill. The coolest part about being in the stands is the shared joy amongst the fans. Total strangers high fiving, jumping up and down, hugging each other after a big hit or clutch double-play.You watch some of these fans and you’d think the Astros have never been to a world series before.

    I’m only hoping that, should we win tonight, the good fans will triumph. So many times in other cities when the local team wins a championship, the fans become destructive. I’ve read about how, when the Mets won the pennant in ’69, the fans tore up the field and seriously injured seven people. I also read about Pittsburgh fans overturning a railroad car after Mazeroski’s HR against the Yankees in 1960. We need to show the world that we have more class.

    Game 5 was a bummer. God i hope they win one in St. Louis. I love baseball. But at times my heart can’t take much more.Go Astros.

    My heart was ripped from my chest tonight. WHY, JD, WHY?!

    Let’s hope the Stros can take game 6 with the wizard on the mound.

    Hey Ace (that’s JD for the uninformed), I imagine you’re still smiling today! I always enjoy listening to and reading your observations, which brings me to wonder if you didn’t spend too much time listening to Yogi! Keep up the great work!

    I enjoy all the talk about Biggio and Bagwell having a chance, finally, to get to the big game. They have waited 18 and 15 years. I have been waiting 11 MORE years than both of them combined. Thanks Astros.
    I called my friends and out of town family after the final game to point out that rather than break property and set things on fire, the Astros fans lined up outside the sporting goods stores to buy shirts and caps. Classy.
