Hearing Busch chant, "Let's go Astros!"
Houston, We Have a Pennant!
Well, the Astros sure put the great Pujols and ghosts of October past to bed, didn't they? A few thoughts from a ho-hum game that sends Houston to its first World Series ever:
-- Cheers, Biggio and Bagwell. Two HOFers with 30+ years of experience between 'em, and now they've finally made it. Hard not to pull for these guys.
-- WTF, Jeannie Zelasko? It's not her fault, but the Fox Game Breaks have got to go. It's not a "game break" if the Sox won the pennant four days ago. "Jeannie Zelasko here with a Fox Game Break... We landed on the moon!"
-- Roy Oswalt is a man. He surpassed 260 IP on the year tonight and is still a veritable buzzsaw (97 mph!). 3-0 in this postseason, 4-0 all time. NLCS mp3.
-- So long, Busch. I hope the Nats learn a lesson from St. Louis and renovate RFK on the cheap to give it half the charm of the Cards stadium that was.
Now, it's Clemens vs. Contreras in Game 1 at Chicago on Saturday. I've picked every playoff series right so far (dumb luck), and I'm going with the ChiSox in 7. It's gonna be a good one.
Update: Hear the World Series preview on SBL radio, starring special guests such as Troy McClure (kidding), USA Today's Mel Antonen, Exile in Wrigleyville (great name) and The Juice Box.

I propose that we change the name of this blog from Mr. Irrelevant to Mr. Russert.
