How do you Cubs and Red Sox fans do it?

The Astros have provided me with enough heartache over the years. I'm hanging by a thread watching tonight's game after yesterday's disappointment.

When I read this morning that Ken Caminiti had died I had the same feeling I had when I saw the headline that Princess Di had died: just looking around me for some sign that it was a joke. As freshmen in college my roommate and I would drive up to the Astrodome from Galveston to drool over Caminiti and Craig Biggio. They were the young guys on the team then. I can't imagine that Biggio's had an easy day of it today, but he just managed to drive in a run (and Bagwell, who also played for years with Caminiti, just knocked a two-run homer.) The Astros' winning tonight would be such a great tribute to a fantastic but torutured baseball player. I've got my fingers crossed. And a little heaviness in my heart.

Two good runs today. Need to post a summary of last week. I know you've all been wondering where it is ...
