What an awesome night for the Astros franchise and Astros fan. If you are like me and can't get enough of postseason winning, then join me in a trip down memory lane. Let's go way back to Thursday night. We were all nervous, but ready for the game to start...
I'm bringing an extra TV into the living room tonight--on my big TV, I'll watch the Astros. On the small one, I'M GONNA WATCH THE ASTROS!
