I LOVE THE ASTROS!! WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GO TO GAME 3. WE TOOK OUR 8 YEAR OLD SON. IT WAS SO EXCITING, AND EVEN MORE SO TO SEE HOW EXCITED HE WAS!! CONGRATULATIONS & GOOD LUCK!! WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! GO 'STROS!!! JAIME

THANK YOU HOUSTON ASTROS!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS...I BEE-LIEVE THIS IS OUR YEAR.

Astros you make me proud to be a Stros Fan. Lets go all the way. You all are un-BEE-leivable.

The slogan says it all, "Root for the good guys". Thank you all for a truly memorable season. You all never gave up and I commend you for that. Thanks for bringing the National League Pennant to Houston. Now lets seal the deal! GO 'STROS!!!!!!

I watched my first Astro game in person in August of 1965 when I was 10 years old. It has been a long wait but well worth it. This current team is the best because they are a team and seem to care more about each other and the fans then just a paycheck. We're praying for you Astros!!!

I've been an Astros fan since I was a kid in the sixties. I was there in '80 and '86 when they got so close. I've watched so many great players come and go - Wynn, Rader, Watson, Cedeno, Cruz, Howe, Wilson, Niekro, Ryan, Scott, Knepper, and on and on and on... After all of those seasons of great baseball it is truly incredible to finally be able to say, "the National League Champion Houston Astros!!!!!"

Go Astros all the way we are cheering for you all the way from Iraq. We bee-lieve.

My husband is a great fan of Bagwell. He has watched him since the beginning and is happy that he will finally get his due in a "World Series" run. Congrats to all the great guys on the team. We will be watching and cheering for you all.

I was born and reaised in New England- a diehard Red Sox fan. Moved to Texas nearly ten years ago and have found the Astros. Ya gotta love the underdog guys!!!! Congratulations,Git-R-Done!

We're all so proud o' y'all, 'Stros :-) Since I had intended on visiting Houston (from San Angelo, TX), I wish I could've seen a live game in person... Nevertheless, please rest assured that I - along w/other fans in Texas & beyond - will root you on in the World Series! My Love, Hope & Faith ~ Elaine =D

Way to go! Good Guys do finish FIRST. Congrats to all of you. Houston is SO proud to have a team like the Astros going to the World Series. Biggio has been my fav player since he joined and I'm SO happy for him and Bags. Let's keep routing for the Good Guy. Now lets go to the big dance and two step our way to Victory. GO ASTROS!!!!!!!

Way to go Astro's! You've made the city of Houston proud. Now go win the World Series!

Way to go Astro's! I haven't lived in Texas in 7 years, but you've always been and will always be MY team! I need a store up in Indiana to get more shirts to show my support. Any one have any ideas?

YES!!!! GO ASTROS!!! MAKE ME PROUD!

It was a WONDERFULL site seeing yall win last nigh. I have been a fan all my life. I even taught my 2 year old daughter to say " GO ASTROS! " Yall did it guys and now we are going to the world series where we are gona beat the White Sox! Great Job. We love yall. dparker of baytown

I have followed the Astros since I was old enough to walk. I have been an All-Star catcher, middle infielder, and outfielder, and I thrive on getting hit by pitches and legging out doubles. I have emulated my career after Craig Biggio.
I cried with you guys during 1994 when you were kicking on all cylinders in the Strike Shortened battle with Cincinatti, I listened on MLB radio overseas when I was an ex-pat during middle school. I was yelling and keeping up with stats in highschool, now in college you brought back every reason to bee-lieve and to just love the game of baseball. Thank you. Good luck in the Series.

Go Astros,

I have been a fan for a long time my dad used to take us to the Astrodome and I was so heart broken at the age of 7 in 1986 the series against the Mets ... Lets go Win this series against the White Sox ..

Bring it Home Boys !!

Hellooooo Houston!!! I am so happy for the team and the great fans in Houston. Ever since I moved to Houston in '83 from Dallas I've been a big Astros fan...Billy Doran was my first favorite player. I'm living in New York now for the time being but I'll always be an Astros supporter through and through. I'm so proud of you guys...Bidge, Baggy, the entire team, the fans, the city...I am so happy for you all. My wife and friends say I look like Roger so if you see a look-alike in West/Southwest Houston in the next week or so, be sure to say howdy!
Craig in New York

Let's go Astros!! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. WS '05 here we come!!! Root for the Good Guys!!

GO STROS,

FINALLY! It's been too long since Houston has had a team to represent it against other big money spending teams. I haven't been this hyped up since 1995 when the Houston Rockets won the NBA championship. Ten years later we have a revived clutch city. See you at the big dance!

-Frank S.

GO ASTROS!!!

Texas Rangers Fans supports the Houston Astros. Heard from San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets fans that they will support and cheer all the way to the HOUSTON ASTROS!!!!!

Go Astros!!!
Texas is behind ya'll!!!

Wow, it's been a long time coming, but you guys finally made it! I must admit that this is one of the most surreal moments of my life. For this particular season to be the one ending in a trip to the World Series is beyond comprehension. It really says something about the quality of the players on our team. To overcome what you all overcame this season is truly admirable, and will go down in history as one of the greatest runs of all time. Be proud of yourselves for making it this far. I was there at the games this season when the going was rough (won every game I went to!) and I watched almost every game that was televised (stupid Cox Cable), and there will be no way I'm missing the WORLD SERIES (albeit on Television).... Try your best, and enjoy it!

YES! YES! YES! Way to go Astros. My dad use to take me to games when I was a kid at the Astrodome to watch. I am so proud of u guys. congradulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look out White Sox here comes the Killer Bees!

Way to Go ASTROS...You Will Win....Pitchers On...Defense!

I you guys could do it I stood by them all season even when everyone told me I was crazy. Congrats, and open up the good ol' can of Texas whoop *** on those SOX! GO 'STROS.

No matter how great or talented an individual is, individuals who "work together" (a TEAM) will always win... especially the BIG ONE. That's the ASTROS this year...A TRUE TEAM!!! Houston, we don't have a problem ANYMORE...We have a true baseball TEAM with a NL Pennant and one WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP on the way! Remember..."Failure Is NOT An Option." Good Luck!

I have been a Astros fan since I was a little girl... It's awesome to see my team in the World Series....Geaux Astros......

Astros fan always

Get'R Done Astros!!!!
Love you guys and most of all Andy Pettitte. You were my favorite Yankee, but now my favorite Astro.

Hey whats up guys. my name is justin and im from Tennessee so I really didnt have a team to pull for until 5 years ago when my mom met this guy he was a huge astros fan so from the time i was 8 i watched Biggio with his signature helmet or 2or3 yers ago when bagweell hit 4 a cycle (again (lol)) so i love the astros now and i would just like to GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Way to GO STROS!!!!!!!!!! It is your turn to win the World Series!!! BEST OF LUCK!!!

Go astros!!! you've made it this, finish off the sox and youll be in the history books forever.
GO ASTROS!!!

I am a single parent. Several years ago my boys and I became Astro's fans! As the years passed our love for them grew stronger! Each time they didn't make it we were sad, but when the new season rolled around we were back on the Wagon! I just wanted you guys to know what a difference you have made in our lives!! We allways believed and aren't surprised you finally got what you deserved! Congratulation all of you!! God bless you and give you the strength to Accomplish you dream come true!!

I almost forgot!!
This is to Andy Pettitte....

I work with a Lady by the name of Dina Nicalardi... she said she knew you when you were around 12 or 13 years old. Her son Chad I believe played ball with you on the Astro's little league team!! She said you may remember her... anyways she wishes you and the Team lotts of Luck and sends her prayers!!

I've been watching you guys since I was a little guy. When many people wrote you guys off this season, left you for dead, you responded by getting into the World Series. I know that you have the whole city of Houston and the state of Texas behind you. Congratulations on the pennant! Now go and get some rings in the World Series! Go 'Stros!
Chris "The Home Stretch in Houston"

Well as a huge Cardinals Fan I just have one thing to say! Congratulations Houston, you were the better team this year! You far and away deserve to be there, you beat a great team in order to make it! Go and represent the national league with pride!

Dreams Do Come True! I am so proud of every single player who never gave up, you guys are so amazing.
My husband is currently in Iraq(he left in April) and if it wasn't for the Astros games to help keep me distracted from worrying about my husband's safety I wouldn't have had a great summer. This whole summer has taught me how to have faith and strength and I can also see how this Astros team has overcome and found strength as well. I am so happy for Biggio and Bagwell, you guys mean so much to the game of baseball, you set an example that sports writers will talk about for years to come. Just play your hearts out in the World Series and make us World Champions!

I've always rooted for the good guys! I grew up an Astros fan(thanks to my dad) in Baytown going to Astros games. My dad has pictures of me at 2 years old wearing a rainbow Astros shirt he had bought for me!! My love for this team has never waivered. I live to watch the games on TV and when I can actually go to a game in person. Now I'm 27 and I couldn't be happier to see them go to the World Series!!! This has given me hope after hurricane Rita damaged our home and something to definately stand up and cheer for! Congrats Astros!!!!
Lots of Love, K

This message is from my son Anthony who is 8 years old. He has cheered for you guys all summer long!!!! Every day he wakes up to ESPN and reads the Sports page.

Congratulations Astros!!!! My favorite players are Craig Biggio, Lance Berkman, Brad Lidge and Andy Pettit. You guys are awesome. Play your best and you will win the World Series. Your Astros Buddie, Anthony.

P.S. Go Astros.

Congratulations to the Houston Astros and especially number, 22, Andy Pettitte. Andy I love you like a son and had the pleasure of meeting you last August at Shea Stadium. No matter where you go, I will be there. I live in Queens NY and whereever a jet lands, I will go to see you. I was also at Spring training 05, in Kississmee to see you. God bless you and keep up the good work. The best to you all ways.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I love you guys. Brad Lidge is the man!!
Bring one home for Houston!

im very happy for the astros keep u the great work with a great manager and all the great staff u have

As a Canadian living way over here in South Korea, I'm definitely not your "typical" Astro fan but for a good 25 years I've followed the Stros through thick and thin. Now it's a reality and my team is going to the World Series! CONGRATULATIONS, GOOD LUCK & just play your best. Biggio and Bags are my favs but just so proud of the whole TEAM and organization! Now go out there and WIN it all!

GO ASTROS!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!. Though I no longer live in Houston, my family and I make sure that people here in Tucson know about the Astros. Good luck in the series. Thanks for the memories

Way to go Astros! You guys should all wear retro jerseys at the first home game. The crowd would go really wild then. Just a thought.

It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys!! We've been diehard Astros fans since the 80's, and remember all too well the 86 series! I am so happy for Biggio & Bagwell...you have been the backbone for so many years...you so deserve it! Thank you Clemens and Pettitte for helping Houston fulfill a dream! And I love all of the young up & coming players(Berkman, Burke, Lane, Lamb, etc)who also have played a major role this year. Thank you Beltran for giving us Willy T! Backe, don't ever lose your wonderful enthusiasm for the game...It is soooo fun to watch! To the best pitching staff ever...starters & relievers...keep up the GREAT work!!! And Lidge...Keep the Lights Out!! Kudos to Ausmus who has to keep these guys in line!! Congrats to ALL of you (it was a team effort) and the coaching staff...especially Garner & Cruz. THANKS FOR THE THRILLS & GOOD LUCK (cause a little luck never hurts) but ya'll really don't need it!...can't wait for the big dance to start. GO 'STROS!

just wanted to say congradulations from san antonio. there is also a huge fan base down here. we are gald to see biggio and bagwell finally reach the series. best of luck

I was born in Houston and have loved the Astros as far back as I can remember. I've been through a lot of heartache because of the Astros but winning the NLCS has more than made up for the past. Now, let's get the White Sox and win it all! The city of Houston, the Astros, and all their fans certainly deserve it! GO ASTROS!

Way to go, Astros! I grew up a Braves fan in NC but when I moved to Houston in '92, it was not long before the class of guys like Biggio and Bagwell soon won my allegience. The Astros are such a great organization that I have remained a tried and true fan even after leaving Texas in '99. I'm so proud of your organization. You guys epitomize a "can do attitude". Now take it to those White Sox and bring home a world championship for yourselves and the great fans of the Houston Astros. Astros all the way!

WAY TO GO ASTROS!!!!!!! Ya'll are the best! It's your turn to win the World Series. Ya'll ROCK! Congrats and Chris Burke... your a HOTTIE!!
I wish ya'll the best of luck!

What a TEAM! We've got what it takes to win WS05 - a TEAM! You guys work so great together, and you give credit to each other instead of one player hogging it all for himself. You guys all did a SUPER job just like us loyal fans expected all along. We're behind you all the way, so go out there and knock the 'Sox' off 'em!! GO 'STROS!!

I've been a fan since the beginning, when everyone wondered what an "Astro" was...well, now the world knows...Astros are winners!!!
Love you guys!!!

Beaumont, TX

One more thing... I'm from Houston!!!! Bring it home STROS!!

I've followed the Astros since I was a kid. I can't even put into words how proud I am off the whole team. When all of my friends doubted that you guys would go all the way, I never stopped believing. You guys have what it takes to win...heart. Thanks for all the wonderful memories!

Go ASTROS I have been a fan since I watched Craig Biggio play his first game as an Asheville Tourist(Houston farm team at the time) in 1987. I still have the ball he signed for me at that time.
GO ASTROS

All my life (47 yrs), every summer I've rooted for, cheered and bled for the 'stros.. Dome dogs, the endless list of players..80, 86, a proud fan win or lose. When Boston fans reversed their curse..I now know how they felt. The weight is already lifted--don't sweat the WS--just have FUN!! As a fan I already am fully fed, satisfied and oh SO HAPPY. I can never thank y'all enough!! Have a blast on the big stage--play loose--Let 'em all see what we've ALWAYS believed--our 'stros are the best Team in the game!!THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!!

I have cheered for you guys every year, through thick and thin, and it doesn't get any thicker than this! I am truely proud of you guys.

Congratulations guys! I always knew that this season would be the best ever with the return of Rog and the departure of Beltran. No other team deserves this more that you guys. I know you will make Houston and Houstonians all over the world proud of this ball club. I would wish y'all luck, but I know you do not need it. Talent will prevail. Go Astros!

Major kudos, guys. This is part of why I can wear my Astros hat with pride, even in the suburbs of Chicago. I'd say good luck, but, hey, y'all don't need it.

Hey Astros, I just wanted to say that every one of you have made a kid's dream come true. I live and die for the Astros. This is just unbelievable to me going to the World Series! I've never been so happy in my entire life. But the mission is not accomplished yet, the World championship is in reach. Including the postseason, you have 96 wins, why don't we just win 4 more and make it an even 100???? Sounds like a plan to me! No matter the outcome of the series I am always behind the Astros! Take care of the Sox baby!

Congratulations!! Astros all the way!! You've got a true fan in little old West Virginia!

Lance- I know your brother in law, he played in our state! If you are half as nice as him, then are are truely a wonderful guy! Good Luck!!

Hats off to the 'stros, but you guys are'nt the best team in texas. Rangers rock, they wup the 'stros every time they play. Astros ain't gonna win the series.

Undoubtedly the single greatest moment in my life to date. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT SWEETER IS IF WE WERE PLAYING THE SERIES IN THE DOME!!!!!!!!

By the way, I didn't mean to post twice! LOL Computer mishaps! Gotta love 'em!

Hey Brandon Backe,
I LOVE YOU. I went to the cannon picture day this year and was really looking forward to taking a picture with you, and telling you how much i Love You i did not meet you that day but hopefully one day i will. so good luck in the World Series go get them. And Roy thank you,you are so great you so deserve the MVP i loved what you said about your father. Go Astros

Congrats to all of the Astros! But most of all to Mr. Craig Biggio - I have been following him since he signed with the 'stros and am still amazed at his talents and abilities to play any position. NO ONE deserves this Championship more than him. I am a native Houstonian and am more excited about this Championship than I was when the Oilers left!! There has never been a more deserving group of guys than the 2005 Astros and my thoughts and prayers go with you through this series and for the record - The Best Guys have already won!! Go 'Stros

I must say, congratulations Astros. I am a huge Cardinals fan, and I was just sitting on the couch crying my eyes out when we lost. But I am very happy for you all, and I wish you the best of luck in the series. I'll be watching and most definetly rooting for a good NL team. You've earned my respect from now on.

Have been an Astros fan since I was a little girl. Our parents took me and my sister on family vacations to Houston (from Lafayette, LA) and we went to several Astros games at the Astrodome. That was during the early 70's, and I have been a huge Astros fan since then. I have always been proud of y'all through the joy or the tears. But this time it was tears of joy when that last out was made!! Go Astros!! You have already made us proud, now go have fun!! You deserve it!!

Thats what im talking about...GO ASTROS!!!...for the late Mrs. CLemens, Bagwell, Biggio, and Ausmus....lets bring it home

I live in Nashville now after growing up in H-town. We made a trip down to Florida for spring training and also traveled to Cincinnati and St. Louis to root for the Astros this year. I'm thrilled for everyone in the Astros organization and the city of Houston! Y'all are a real class act! Good luck in the World Series!

Congratulations Astros! I really believe the team can go all the way here in 2005. Growing up in Port Arthur, I listened to many, many Astro's games on the radio called by Gene Elston and Loel Passe. My grandfather loved listening and seldom missed a game. I went with my family to our first Astro's game in 1965, the year the Dome opened. We went to a couple of games a year after that. My father enjoyed watching the team play on TV at his Port Arthur home for many years after I left home. I wish my dad and grandpa were here now to see the 2005 Astros! I'm in Fort Worth now and can't wait for the Series to start. My ten year old son has become a confirmed 'stros fan. Good luck to each and every member of the wonderful Astros ballclub. There is not a finer group in professional sports.

Go Astros, beat the Sox!

CONGRATULATIONS STROS!!!!

You guys rock! You've made Houston very proud! Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication. I can't wait till next week when we are celebrating the WORLD SERIES CHAMPION ASTROS!!!!!!

Thanks guys.Living in the middle of Cards/Cubs country it is a great vindication of my faith in you. You are the best.

Congratuations Astros!!!!!
I knew ya'll could do it from the beginning. The cool thing is that ya'lls success is a team effort, and thats what makes ya'll so awesome. Not only is Houston very proud of ya'll, but Abilene, TX. is too. I've lived in Houston since I was in fifth grade, and have been a die hard 'stros fan for a long time. Now I go to Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene and HSU and I are rooting for ya'll all the way. GO GET 'EM 'STROS. BRING HOME THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Congratulations, Astros! I inherited my passion for you guys from my dad, and so I'd like to thank you for not making me wait quite as long he did to see you in the World Series. You all are the BEST(especially Burke & Backe!)!! Beat the Sox and DO IT FOR MILO!

Astros have the best team mentality of any professional sports team I've ever seen. You guys really are such a great bunch of guys--both on and off the field--I hope you guys really beat them white sox. Congratulations on winning the NL pennant! I'm behind you guys all the way!

This next comment is for Morgan Ensberg--It was great meeting you when I was shadowing Dr. Mehlhoff on that night when Bagwell hit a single in the bottom of the ninth to bring in Willy Taveras for the win over Milwaukee 2-1. You're a great player and keep up all the hard work!

Congradulations ASTROS I have been waiting for this moment my whole life. From being an Astro Buddy as a kid until now this is the greatest moment in ASTRO History. Take care of Buisness in Chicago. Champs 2005. Team of Destiny

well all i can really say is wow. The Astros are finally going to the world series. they made it and they are going to finish this season off strong. because all of Louisiana and Texas beelieves in them.

This has been a long time coming and you guys have made it to the BIG SHOW!! I am so happy for all of you but especially for Biggio and Bagwell. I've been a fan since I was about 12 and will always remember my first time at an Astros game in the Dome. You all have not only made Houston proud but all of Texas. Go show those White Sox what you all are made of!!

GO ASTROS! from all the way out west in California.

I am so happy to see my lifelong team WIN the 2005 NL Championship and go to the World Series. So many years and so many great players, and a great city with great fans. Thanks to Bagwell and Biggion for hangin' tuff ... your dreams came true. It was awesome to meet you guy in El Paso several years back. And how can you beat the awesome pitching of Oswalt, Clemens, Pettitte, Backe ... the bullpin with Lidge, Qualls ... and Ausmus, Berkman, Burke, Lane, Lamb, Tavares, Brunlett, Everitt, Ensberg, and the rest. Congrats to Mr. McLane for being patient and knowing good things come to those who wait.

Let's beat the sox and have a real party in Texas!

well, I just have to say that I never gave up on believing in the whole team completely. In the first half of the season when things wern't looking so good, I said, the season ain't over until the last out is called at the end of the season.Now, just look at you guys, y'all deserve it, because the better team always does.GO ASTROS!!!!!!!

GO ASTROS!!!
I am a 46 year old New Orleans native and have been a fan since the 1960's. I have grown up as an Astros fan and have felt the heartaches of the years with everyone else. I was there in 1980 for the 3 extra inning playoff games against the Phillies. I am so excited for everyone past and present who have been a part of this team: the guys like Jose Cruz, Craig Reynolds, Denny Walling, Cesar Cedeno, Joe Sambito, and on and on. Being in New Orleans, we have never had a world champion in anything either (can you say Saints,Jazz,Hornets)so please win one for all of us fans on the Gulf Coast. We are so proud of how you guys stuck together. This is the classiest organization in the Majors, and you deserve this!! GOOD LUCK from New Orleans!!!

Please read Astros. On October 1, 2004 my nephew Matthew Montemayor, 17yoa, was one of the four high school students involved in a car accident on SH105 in Cleveland Tx. I watched him play baseball from a young man to high school. Tragically he was taken from our lives. I regret to say, prior to his death I watched MLB but was not to involved. After his funeral, one of his high school English teachers provided his father,(my brother) a report regarding his dreams and goals. On this paper we read one of his dreams was to become a MLB player and take the Houston Astros to the World Series. Last year our family payed so close attention to each and every game after dis death. This year the same. My baby Matthew, did what he set out to do from the Heavens above. Astros I have come to love watch you play and hope for nothing but the best for all of you. I wish I would have payed more attention to his interest when he was alive because I know he had a favorite Astro's player but I cant recall who. Good Luck, I will be watching along with all his other aunts, friends, and parents.
From New Fans and old fans

Navasota, Texas

I would like to congratulate the National League Champion Houston Astros on a nearly complete 'dream season'. You made me look smart when I said the Astros would turn it around once Lance Berkman got back on track. With such stellar pitching and a resurging offense, how could it not be seen? I knew you had a chance to turn it around and make the playoffs. The media(Chronicle) blows! What do they know?(nada) See you in the World Series! Chris in Spring

After watching the game the other night and seeing them win the pennant, I was so happy that Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio would finally get to play in a World Series. Those 2...they deserve it so much. They have been faithful to the team, the fans, and the city. My admiration for those 2 guys is huge. Every one of the Astros will be in my prayers as they prepare for and play in the World Series. Bring the championship home, guys!!

We have the best ball players in the country, not to mention the best looking! I have to say that watching the Astros kick butt this postseason was more fun than years past! Way to make the Chronical eat their words!! Boys, keep looking hot while you make Chicago feel not so welcome in Houston!!

Congradulations from a long distance Astros Fan!

As a young kid obsessed with baseball growing up in the mountains of southwest Virginia the closest team to us was 5 hours south in Atlanta.So unlike alot of people with local teams to root for I had to decide who was "my" team.Our summer vacations were always spent in Atlanta watching the Braves, I'll never forget the game when I became an Astros fan.in the game we were watching a sharp ground ball was hit like a bullet to second Baseman Bill Doran who dove and made miraculous catch and then threw out the runner at first, at the time I was a second baseman on our little league team and that did it for me, the team with the flashy orange uniforms but had the tough,hard working ,and hard nosed players was "my team".Over the years guys we watched like Alan Ashby,Craig Reynolds,Bill Doran,and Nolan Ryan have exemplified the meaning of the word class and that tradition continues today with not just Biggio and Bagwell, but every member of the team.In the 20 or so years since then my family and I have taken countless trips to Atlanta and Cincinnati to see the Astros each year, and even got to go to a game in Houston in 2001, and I rarely miss a game on direct Tv.I just want the guys on the team to know how happy they have made this Astros fan and how proud I am of them.Nobody is more deserving in baseball to be in a World Series than Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell,they have represented the great spirit of this team and the city of Houston.We are VERY proud of the Astros no matter what the outcome but I know we WILL beat the White Sox.GO STROS!!

GO 'STROS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Way to go Stros!!! Congrats on making it to the world series. I have been a long time fan it is great to see you guys in the world series you all deserve it.

What a great thing to happen for the Astros and the city of Houston. Good luck to the team in the World Series. This is the Astros year. I am from the small town of New Waverly, Tx 55 miles North on I-45. Believe me, everyone up here is talking Astros, Astros, Astros. They all believe! I have traveled to many a game over the last 30 (since I was 11 years old) years to see my team do this. I was there the Day Mike Scott pitched the no hitter in the Astrodome. I thought that was the greatest thing I had ever seen. Not any more - THIS IS THE BEST! GO ASTROS!

Wow ! What a ride ! From the highest high on Monday night when we thought we had it won, to the lowest low after Pujols decided he wasn't quite ready for the season to end for the Cardinals. And then finally the ultimate high for me that I have waited for, for so long. I wish I could have shared it with all the other thousands of fans of Houston at Minute Maid on Monday night but "we got er done". Now there is no more "Wait til next year !" I am so proud and happy for Biggio and Bagwell. They have been so devoted and loyal to the Astro Organization and Houston Fans and just real "class acts" and true inspirations for the youth of our town. Nobody deserves this Championship more and I just know we are going all the way ! HOUSTON ASTROS - WORLD CHAMPIONS 2005 !

As a life long Astros Fan, I tip my hat to the team. Bags and Biggio deserve this..thanks for your loyalty!

I was thrilled beyond belief that my faorite team, my Astros, the team I have cheered for since 1969 is finally in the World Series. For Biggio and Bagwell, I have to say thank you for your years in Houston and making this team what it is today. Its players like you two who define the word class. I an not wait till Saturday night when I get to watch MY favorite team playing for the World Series. It still sounds so crazy. Its unbelieveable... By God, if its a draen, dont wake me...

GO ASTROS.2005 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAPIONS and 200 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on a great regular season, and so far an unforgettable post-season. This year has been so awesome. Everyone has stepped up huge.
Im just so excited for Bagwell and Biggio who finnaly get to play in the big series. You have both played for the Stros for more years than i have as a person which i find is unbelievable.i was at the game when Bagwell hit the game winning pinch hit single and i was so pumped. And i used to play second base and i would always model my play exactly after his. Im so happy for all you guys, not just the players but also the coaches,and the whole organazation.With the best 3 man pitching rotation in the history of the league and the best closer in the game i think its yalls to win.So finish it off, and bring home the title of the MLB's best team home to the Astros clubhouse

"BEES"t of Luck GO Astros!!!!!!!

Men, You make me proud to have been a fan for 43 years. I actually teared up the other night. It has been worth the wait for me as well as every other Astro's fan. This has to be the best TEAM effort I have ever seen. Now just go out and finish the job in Chicago. You can do it, Texas can help.

good luck astros, the world serie, wait for you, we will be the champions.

Hey Astros - way to go! I've been to many games at (Enron) Minute Maid Park but now I can only watch you on TV from the desert in Arizona. Always been an Adam Everett fan and have added Chris Burke to my favorites lineup along with all the other B's. The Texas COPs (Clemens, Oswalt, Pettitte) will handcuff the Chicago gangsters!

Growing up in Los Angeles I learned from Tommy Lasorda that you only got to heaven by being a Dodger fan. I have lived in Texas for the past 15 years. I never thought I would root for another team, but here we are...everyone in our family cheers for the ASTROS all of the time. We were at Minute Maid Park when you clinched the Wild Card, and again for the 18 inning history making game. Each time, screaming till we were voiceless. We truly love all of you. Each of you are truly "class acts". The veterans make a significant contribution which cannot be measured in dollars, only in tenacity, drive, heart & soul. The younger players provide the "no-fear attitude," and all exhibit the heart of champions. Our new little granddaughter born on the day you clinched the NL Pennant is nicknamed "KB," because as a baby, she is a Killer Bee too. Remember, Tommy Lasorda may be right - you only get to heaven by being a Dodger fan - but by being an Astro fan - we are in heaven now - baseball heaven!!!!! THANK YOU ASTROS - WE BEE-LIEVE.....
