Amazing.
The Cubs lost to the Braves today, eliminating themselves from the postseason.
Amazing.
The Dodgers came back with seven runs in the bottom of the 9th inning, including a walk-off grand slam, to beat the Giants, throwing the Giants a half game behind the Astros for the wild card.
Amazing.
The Astros went home run crazy tonight at Minute Maid in front of me and 43,000 others to beat the Rockies and go a full game ahead of the Giants for the wild card. Two homers for Biggio, two for Kent, and a bunch of others. It was the highest-scoring sub-2.5 hour game I’ve ever seen. You should have heard the crowd when we saw the Giants loss posted on the scoreboard. You should have heard the crowd when the Astros win became official.
Amazing.
The Astros control their own destiny. They win tomorrow, they go to the postseason. And I’ll be at the game screaming my lungs out. This is the best end-of-the-season I have ever seen.

Peru is in the AJC! Sunday paper. Front page of print edition.
I believe it was a lowly month ago that I was giving my condolences regarding the ‘Stros. Oh, how times can change….
This winter will feel 20 degrees colder than normal for us Cubs fans. Now rooting for the comback kids.
Hope springs eternal…..
