My, What Fair Weather We Are Having

I admit it. I'm a fair-weather fan.
I've been a fair-weather Astros fan for years.

I love baseball. Probably not as much as some but I GET baseball.
I am a big football fan but sometimes I don't GET football but I get the strategies and the intricacies of baseball and a good game will satisfy my soul for days.
Lately, my attention span for anything has been quite low and baseball seasons are long and complicated and I just don't have the mental energy nor the time to sit down and sort it all out so I basically ignore baseball until the playoffs near.
If the Astros are doing well, great. If they're not, well that's another season.

When the 'Stros made the playoffs this year I was happy for them but I am a veteran of Houston sports. I know how it goes around here, our teams suck in playoff type situations so I was hopeful but I didn't have my hopes up.
I watched every game of the NLCS and was hooked all over again.
This time, my hopes were up and I wasn't disappointed.
I was elated!
I'm so very happy for veteran players like Biggio and Bagwell. Since I was a young teenager, they busted ass for this team and I'm SO thrilled for them.

I don't care whether we win the World Series or not. I am just glad they got there.

Go Astros!!
