Go 'Stros! 

The Astros have won their first ever playoff series. After 42 years of frustration and near misses, they finally did it, and against the Braves no less. Next up: the Cardinals.

But I can't bring myself to say "Woo-hoo" today. Ken Caminiti, a former Astros star who's had a rough life, died yesterday at 41. I remember when Caminiti was called up, back in 1987. He was instantly the most exciting player on the field and at bat. I was sad when he was traded, and still more saddened by his troubles with drugs. Rest in peace, Ken.

Even Superman died yesterday. What next?
