How glorious to have an off day, up 2-0 in the ALDS for the 2nd time in two years. For the newcomer fans, you have no idea how enormous this is or feels. For old timers, you might have forgotten. Here goes, from my perspective.
I came on board in the 1980 NLCS against the Phillies. What a gut punch. Then in 1981, the Astros had a mini-series against the Dodgers. Jerry Reuss took our souls. 1986 I was a bit more of age, and it felt like the Astros had magic in a bottle. 1986 G-6 was probably the most crushing loss one could imagine.
