Somewhere here before, I kiddingly mentioned that I should root for the Houston Astros instead of the FRS. A search can’t locate it, so that means one of two things, it happened in 2004 and I thought it wasn’t worth saving or it happened prior to 2004 and it is still in the archives. Well starting tonight I guess I will root for them, at least for the next 4 to 7 games. Houston and the Chicago White Sox will play in the 2005 World Series and I hope my cheering for the Astros doesn’t hurt them. 🙂
I gave a couple of reasons why I should switch allegiances, one of which that the Astros current uniform is a pretty good match for the Emperor’s color, so I would be stylin’ and profilin’. The second was tonight’s Houston starting pitcher, Roger Clemens, AKA Rocket. Donna and I were lucky enough to see the young 20-something Clemens pitch the New Britain Red Sox to the Eastern League Championship in 1985. Ever since I have almost always liked the guy (there was that one stint of pitching for the Yankees.)
Go ‘Stros!
