We have waited for this day for the past 12 years. We survived the dismantling of the Astros through the process. Houston fans saw two of their legends retire in Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio following the 2005 World Series.
After winning 101 games in the regular season, the Astros have won seven playoff games this year. The ALDS was not as dramatic as many expected with the Astros winning the series 3-1. They got off to a 2-0 lead going to Boston, but lost Game 3. But the magic happened in Game 4.
