I want the Astros to lose just because Bush is in the front row :)
I suppose it's not the most noble of reasons to want a team to win or lose the world series, but they keep showing GHWB and Barbara there in the front row and all I can think is "I want them to lose."

I have a feeling I'm not alone.

1. Is White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen from Venezuela?

13. Not only that, Ozzie is a big Hugo Chavez supporter.
I'm hoping Hugo invites them to the presidential palace if they win.

(BTW, I wonder if Barbara has been giving the White Sox "the glare"?)

15. Actually, as I just pointed out, he does like Hugo.
In fact, that's why I'm rooting for the Sox.

11. Chicago is up 1-0, it's a nailbiter
bottom of the 8th. 6 more outs for the Astros to make a go at it.

wouldn't it be appropriate for the indictments to come tomorrow? Isn't fitz from Chicago? I love it.

10. Don't hate us for our Bushes.....
Trust me - they are NOT at all popular in Houston!
In fact, they almost NEVER appear in public here - honest!

Please don't be hatin' on the Astros.....this series is painful enough as it is....

All I have to say is - that would be the only reason why I would want the Astros to lose! :evilgrin:

27. Everytime they show Bush
they associate the Astros with him and the GOP to me. I like Berkman, Bagwell, Biggio and all but I don't think I'll ever want either of the Texas teams to win a World Series thanks to their associations with the assholes.

Oh and I'm a Red Sox fan. Damn me for living in WI but basically being a Massacussetts liberal by heart. :)

28. I live in TX and generally...
...like to root for our teams---gonna make an exception here, nothing against the Astros. I'd like Chicago to close it out tonight, but not before a high foul ball comes right down on top of Baba's oversized gray head. Wow, Uribe just reeled in a great foul ball catch for the 2nd out in the 9th. I don't think the rally caps are gonna get it for Houston this time.

29. Sox Win!
But let's hear it for the Astros(in spite of 41 and Glare Woman).
They had a great year and Phil Garner should definitely get NL manager of the year.

This was one of the best series I ever saw. It easily could have gone seven or gone 4-0 Astros. The sweep doesn't reflect the reality of the game.

32. True. Sox got the breaks, no question.
How many left stranded by Houston in last night's game? 15 I think.
Tough losses. Hat's off to the Astros and congratulations Chicago!
