If it was going to be anyone...

I'm OK with the Astro's winning. I'd rather that the Cardinals won the Series in their last year at old Busch, but the Astros are nice guys, and they played like winners. They've got a fantastic pitching staff. What else can you say?

Near the end of the game, Ben sent me out for ice cream because apparently I'm bad luck for the Cards. So I get to Cold Stone and they're almost closed. I'm the only customer. There are three workers there. One of them is done for the night and she's trying to find her keys. The guy working whispers to me that he took them and hid them. The other gal working knows this and starts giggling. The girl looking for her keys asks her "What's so funny? Did he take my keys?" The giggler lies and tell her some story about dropping the wrong mixer into the ice cream and having to start from scratch. The guy can't stop laughing. The key girl asks me if he took her keys... I find my way out of answering by avoiding the question. She walks back to the kitchen to keep searching and the guy pulls the keys out and puts them out in plain view. Key Girl walks past them a few times until I point them out right before I leave. She grabs them and asks the guy if he took them. He tells her that he did. She looks at me like I should have helped her out... so I did what I had to... I told her that the other two threatened to spit in my ice cream if I told...

Too bad, but I agree the Astro's were playing well all season. So I guess they can go ahead and start tearing down the stadium now. At least for the last season in the stadium they made it this far. Still an accomplishment.
