Thanks to all of you

I've been watching as many of you have commented, joked, and sparred over this franchise since I discovered the old AstrosConnection back in 1999.  I've enjoyed your joyous exclamations when this team has done great things.

Things like clinching on the last game of 99, the six-pitcher no-hitter in NYC, the Chris Burke HR, the NLCS win in 05, the rise of the baby 'Stros in 15, and this year's crazy World Series run.

I've also experienced your pain when things haven't gone so well, such as Walt-f**&%$#-Weiss,  Carlos Hernandez tearing his rotator cuff, Anaheim Jimmy in the 04 NLCS Game 6,  the sweep in the 05 WS, the many losses from 2008-14, and the Correa error, and getting Rangered last year.

When other folks gave up on this team in the Process years, it was nice to turn to this board and see some excellent discussion about the bright future.  Now that the Astros are on the cusp of greatness, I wanted you all to know that it's been more fun because of what you all bring to the discussion.

Thanks to you all. I hope to be celebrating with you soon!
