We believe

Houston Astros: one strike away from the World Series and then sudden defeat. I can only think of the mighty Mike Schmidt's wisdom:

"Any time you think you have the game conquered the game will turn around and punch you right in the nose."

We still believe, so on to St. Louis, dammit, and a ticket to the World Series via the longer, harder road -- the only kind the Astros and their fans get to travel.
