As an Astros fan from the very beginning I would like to thank the Yanks for taking out Cleveland.  The best thing about these Astros is that unlike 80, 86, & 05 it's not a bunch of journeymen having career years.  It's a bunch of kids hitting their stride.  The Yankees may be a year or two from there but they look pretty salty.  The New York Yankees took out Cleveland!A moment of silence PLEASE!Thank you.;-)
