You can't handle going to the NLCS one year and the WS the following year?

I'll take getting to the WS this year any day.

I was referring to the slow start, think they're dead, making a late run, coming down to the last day of the season, then pulling it out of their *** type season. Damn Astros are stressing me out and turning me into an old man.
