The Stros are showing the world what they can do. If only they were as inspired a few months ago. Alas, for what might have been.
But thanks for what is. There are few things as poetic as the tragic struggle, heroes doomed to fail.
Hope is kindled. It shall be fanned by the force of the Stros' mighty bats. Even if there is no life after the regular season, the coda of the 2006 season is fulfilling.
