    during this Astros Playoff run?

    Last year, I kept my cell phone head set and switch it from ear to ear between every inning.

    This year, I got this one shirt that I wear ONLY during gametime.

    I haven't shaved since we beat Pittsburgh by scoring 12 runs :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I also did the same thing last year right before the playoffs, it's not a thick beard, which makes it kinda suck, but it's my own silly superstition. I'm only doing it cause some of the players were doing it last year and this year.

    Actually I screwed up the game 2 thread title by forgetting to put the Astros vs. Cards part of it. When we one that one, I had to continue doing it the same way.

    i do very little besides watching the game and making sure to scream QUAALLLLSSS whenever he's up in the pen or in the game.

    also, i stopped posting during games (games 2 &3)

    The Astros have a better playoff record when I don't watch the games. But I did watch yesterday's game, so I guess I can watch them from here on out.

    If it's a close game I change the channel when the other team bats. I only watch when we are up to bat.

    I do that as well but only if there are runners on base ISP or when Pujols is at the plate. Because of that I missed the HR he hit off Oswalt. ;)

    When I watch the Stros in the playoff this year I wear my Astros' cap circa 1989 and so far they've won every game. The one time I've worn my cap circa 2003 they've lost even though I wear that cap the rest of the time.

    Tell my girlfriend exactly how bad Brad Ausmus is at hitting every time he's up. It's worked pretty well so far. :D

    Don't watch the game, but only listen to the radio.

    It sucks, but they haven't lost a single game that I've turned off the tube and put Milo on.

    I haven't shaved since a couple of games before the end of the season.



    I refuse to shave my World Series beard until after I've seen Bagwell and Biggio take one home.


    I might even grow to like it and keep it permanently. Like yourself, it's really not that thick of a beard though, which makes it not as fun.

    I always wear my black Astros's tshirt starting one hour before games. Since the NLDS began, I decided that I would not wash it either. Once we lost Game one of the NLCS, I retired it and decided that I could wash it. Either that...or I'd be stuck watching the games alone. That thing was getting stinky.

    Now THAT's Discipline.

    I've went on and asked my GF to go to the other room and do something else after the 2 singles in the 9th :D (She only watches because it means something to me)
    What went on for the rest of the game only made me think even more.
