Only if the Yankees lose.

I'm sort of interested, but I'm also worn out from my thrilling last day victory in another fantasy baseball league ;-)

I'm pulling for the Phillies in the National. I'd like to see Pence on the big stage.

Beyond that, I hope they fall to Texas if it gets that far.

It has certainly been a surreal couple of weeks with Pence, Bourn, Roy O, Berkman, Keppinger, and a few others all trying to get a spot in the playoffs. It's not uncommon in Houston to joke that the Astros are the AAA team for the majors, but this year has really felt that way. Weird.

I suggest you get rid of your general manager. Trust me, I know from experience, he sucks.

My Angels aren't in it, so I'm having a tough time being interested. Might as well root for the Phillies, right?

I'm rooting for Theo to go to the Cubs. It's all I've got.

As an occasional poster on the Astros forum, I can tell you - you'd be hard pressed to find a Houstonian that disagrees with you. To say he's disliked here would be an understatement. As is evident by this 85-page, 1,500-posts thread;

This, by the way, is what I meant by surreal. We didn't just lose a few good players or fan favorites. We lost guys who are so good, or so consistent, or made such an impact on their new teams, that they have become the MLB logo picture for the Division Series.

It almost looks like the guy on the bottom is giving the top guy a weird 'reach around'. Looks really awkward (and painful, going by the expression on bottom-guy's face).

I think I say this every year, but until your team goes over 100 years without a title, I don't want to hear yer bitchin' and moanin'.
