I went to an Astros game with my two friends this past Monday, and I just had to share with you guys what we put on our posters:

"Comeback starts...NOW!!"

It started out as an optimistic view of the season, since even the basement Astros look for a comeback shortly after the All-Star Break. But when our guys blew a 3-2 lead to give up 7 runs in the ninth (ugh), it became quite fitting for the game, as well. There we were in the bottom of the ninth, waving our posters and cheering while the stadium was more than half empty and people continued to file out. No, that's not diehard, that's foolish.

But anyway, that was my tribute to my BBC friends - what has become a popular motto around here.
