(Ed.'s Note: The Houston Astros came oh, so close to making it into the World Series. But in the end they came 2 runs short [4-2] and ran out of innings. They had come back from a 3-0 game deficit, just as the Los Angeles Dodgers are doing with the Atlanta Braves in the National League. Those two teams are tied at 3 each and play today to see who faces the Tampa Manta Rays in the World Series. Oh, well, there's always next year.)
