"meanie" I love the Astros, just not sure if they can beat the Cardinals this season! Berkman, Biggio, and of course the great Bagwell! If Hidalgo can come close to 2000 season and Daryl Ward can hit playing everyday.........they will win it! And possibly go all the way,but I am skeptical about the two ifs! Having been born in Houston area, Wharton, TX, I have long been as Astro fan and my father was a scout for the original Colt 45's and Astros! Love to see Houston in World Series! Charlie
