Lifelong Astros fan here - and lifelong NY'er - now just hoping we can

shortstop out of the picture it was an amazing run.

Gotta give props to the Cubs for a classic end-of-season choke job that
helped matters out. Heard the new logo was two hands clasping a throat until
the Yankees outbid them for the image. :)
