One would think that any headline beginning "Houston, we have a (fill in the blank)" would have been banned by the Chonicle 20 years ago. It's kinda lame for such a big happening.

No kidding. We don't have more than 5-6 Houston heds a year here in Colorado and WE banned it before the playoffs began.

It just goes to show you that sports writers, as much as they'd like us to think otherwise, have just as little idea of who's going to win and who's going to lose as the rest of us. Especially when it comes to baseball.

I don't want to pile on here, but does anyone else find an odd juxtaposition between "The cold, hard truth: It's off" and "Astros find the formula?" Are they dead or are they winning? (Of course, we know now.)

As it turns out, the one on the left was just a bit premature.
