Duane & I are both huge Astros fans, and even though much of the first half of their season was painful to watch, we were so excited to watch them in August & September. We thought they didn't have a chance of making the playoffs; then came August & September, and they won...won...won! They started creeping up the boards in the Wild Card race. Sadly, Hurricane Ike hit, and everyone's focus shifted. The momentum was gone. Make up games were moved to Milwaukee (I had LOTS of problems with that decision), and our players were understandably distracted from their game. It was a great run, and we were proud of their efforts and can't wait until baseball season starts next April!
We went to their final game of the season on Sunday, September 28. The Astros beat the Braves 3-1; it was a great game!!! It was the last game for Brad Ausmus, and he hit a HOME RUN! What a way to go out! He had a great career in Houston, and we're going to miss him!
It is a tradition (you know Aggies...anything you do twice becomes a tradition!) for Duane to take our picture at sporting events! He does a really good job!

Evidence of Hurricane Ike is still all over Houston; billboards are shredded, and buildings still have damage. Notice the plywood...lots of broken glass!
