text: why does evaeybody outside of houston hate the astros? last year the astros came back from bieng 15 games below 500 to bieng 15 games above 500. but all everybody talked about was why the yankees didn't make to the world series never giving the astros any credit the astro's deserve credit for what they have done. i lived in houston over fourteen years(79-93) and all the sports teams were always saying - wait till next year. got sick and tires of hearing that. after i moved the rockets won back to back nba titles(which was great). i know live in webb city, mo. and mostly st louis fans here. it was great for houston to beat st louis last year in playoffs.
