1. I prefer the Astros over the Rangers.

I still hold a grudge from when George W. Bush was one of the owners.

2. So, the Astros have learned how to "Royal"...

Good job 'Stros...

3. The one that trips me out is the Rockies

Anybody read about how they only sign born again christians you would think the union would have a problem with that http://www.alternet.org/story/66067/the_colorado_rockies%3A_god%27s_baseball_team

4. Notice the date on this article is 2007

O'Dowd is no longer the GM, and they've signed good players who are not Tebow types. This is 10 year old crap.

7. They still have the same wackjob owner and have "faithdays"

5. They are definitely having a great year!

Finally!

6. No kidding!

As a long time Astros fan, it's great to be "that" team...down 6 runs in the 8th? No problem, lets score 11. Add a couple more in the 9th. Of course, the Twins bullpen is pretty overworked, but hey, we'll take it!

8. and up 15 -5 today.

boy oh boy

9. box scores

Hi,

I just looked at the box scores from the 3 games, not only did the Astros sweep the series, but they scored 40 runs doing it. That is just insane, who are these guys !
I just hope for all of us long suffering fans, this is the year !!!!!!!!
