Go, 'Stros, Go!

I'm rooting for the Houston Astros to win the National League Wild Card. After today's win and San Francisco's loss (I still don't know how Los Angeles wins), the Astros need only to win tomorrow to make the playoffs. Like many others, I wrote the Astros off quite a while ago. At the time, things looked pretty bad for Houston. Andy Pettitte was done, Roger Clemens was hurting and I couldn't see Carlos Beltran alone keeping them afloat. He didn't have to.

Jeff Bagwell, Lance Berkman, Roy Oswalt and Clemens cranked it up a notch and the Astros have been on an unbelievable roll. Tomorrow they can complete their spectacular rebound. I hope they do.
