Been so long since I posted, I almost forgot how. How does everybody feel about the Astros chances in '03. I'm optimistic. If Miller and Oswalt do their usual...
Shaky pitching....I think we've run the minor league pitching well, dry and empty. If Lugo and Doggie step up then maybe that will overcompensate for the...
I'm excited about our season. Kent is a great addition, and the Cards have no pitching comparatively. The Cubs will fold as usual, and the division will be...
Has anyone been inside the Park yet. How was it? I've driven by it dozens of time but haven't been inside yet. The outside is gorgeous. Maybe, this season...
Shawn, I have heard some criticism, but we (my family and myself) find it a wonderful place to enjoy the game. We have sat in a number of different areas, and...
I guess all the years of rooting for the Astros have made me skeptical. The injury to Hernandez is upsetting, of course, but their pitching could still be...
... pick at all. When he starts scoring 20 points a game and blocking 10 shots a game regularly, then I'll admit he was a viable 1st round pick but not until. ...
Hi Ken, thanks for sharing your experience and advice on the seating. What kind of criticisms have you heard about the ole ballpark? I read on Astros.com that...
Shawn, Really, about the only criticism that I've heard is that it's somewhat antiseptic, not "real" enough. But I don't really buy into that. I think you'll...

Rex, you might be thinking of HoustonsBrandofBaseball with the OT. Which by the way, the owner over there doesn't mind talk about other Houston teams or ...
... Rex, I haven't seen any discussions here on music or poetry, perhaps you're thinking of another list. I apologize if I offended you. The only reason I ...
With spring training just started, not much Astros news to discuss, so I don't see anything wrong with an aside comment or two about the Rockets. I do agree...
I have an autographed Keith Ginter 2002 Bowman up on eBay right now -- low start/no reserve. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category= ...

Just listened to MLB Radio interview with Jim Maloney. He picks the Cardinals to win the NL Central again. Hmmmmmm. Maybe so but I think the Astros may...
If biggio can give us one more year and plays good CF, AND IF they get good starters 3-5, I think they 'Stros will compete...Otherwise, defense, speed, and...
I agree with your assessment. It wasn't long ago that this team was built on speed, defense, and pitching. The pitching could potentially be very good, but...
Anyone have any ideas of where/how Scott Elarton is doing? Last I saw Lima was basically begging for a job...he didn't care how much money. Anyone think the...
I can't remember where Elarton is, though I know that information is buried somewhere in my gray matter. I'm sure someone will know something about his status...

This is off topic, but I don't care. Copied this from a Yahoo news article. HOT DAMN!!! Take that you S.O.B's!! NEW YORK - The city intends to fill its vacant...
I think 'Stros SHOULD start Kent at 3rd and leave Blum as super utility...Blum's never started a full season for good reason and I am a poet. Leave Bigs at 2B...

One of the Astros problems last season was Biggio's .230 batting average for the first half of the season. He did pick up in the 2nd half, but the Astros were...
that's very funny. my name is jesse and i am new to this group. i noticed that both biggo and bagwell cannot layoff that outside pitch. i remember the same...
... I think it is real easy to sit at home or in our comfortable seats at the game and think in our own minds how easy a really good slider or curve ball would...
"it must look good to them, cause it looks awful to me." Yeah, well I would say a 95mph ball looks a little different flying at you, rather then seeing it from...
