That's right, the Astros have won the 2004 NL Wild Card spot for the race to the World Series! The Astros destiny was in their own hands this afternoon. A win against Colorado would seal the deal that lets them shoot for a World Series title. And the Astros did just that. Another way in would have to rely on the Dodgers beating the Giants today, which they didn't do--they didn't have to... they already were Western Division champs. The Astros next task is to prepare for the first series in the post season...the first series has been somewhat of an achilles heel for the Astros...7 appearances, 0 advances. This time, I think the Astros have a very good chance of advancing, so good in fact, I'm posting here my prediction. I think the Astros have enough momentum to propel them into the World Series. They have had strong pitching, clutch defense, clutch hitting, mixed with a little bit o good luck. It is their time...their time to shine. Most have counted them out...even I had my doubts once saying "their chances of advancing, though not impossible, are improbable." A 36-10 run at the end is what it took to push on to the playoffs. Whatever the outcome, you can bet that the Astros fans will be there in force. So, tune in Wednesday as the playoffs begin. Go Astros!!
I am recovering from a late summer cold/soar throat. So, i've been out of it the last two and a half days...I do have plans of posting something interesting here in the next few days that i just haven't been able to get posted...so stay tuned. Ok, it might not be that interesting, but i will get it posted--this serves as my reminder.
