upon instruction from my cousin in houston, i am not wearing any sox (i mean socks) today, in honor of the Astros playing the White Sox this evening. even mayor bill white is going soxless. i mean, sockless.
they've never won a World Series, and after a seemingly strange string of events leading up to today (the history-making 18-inning game, for one), i'll do anything to help them win.
it's funny, all the times i've ever seen the 'stros play live, they've never won. and if they did, it was because i left the game early. i will admit, i'm a fairweather fan, but a fan nonetheless. and i'm definitely a sucker for the underdog.
there's nothing like seeing a baseball game live, watching everything unfold on the diamond: awe-inspiring fast pitches, amazing double plays, crisp white uniforms dirtied after sliding into home, fly balls whizzing by your head, popcorn, peanuts... "makes me want a hot dog real bad!"
i hope the Killer B's go all the way. i'm rootin' for you, boys... even if my feet have to suffer for a day.
