    Relief pitching? More like: “hey, here’s our next starter.”

    Someone needs to kiss Colt Stadium, because that's where this journey started in 1962. My sauces tell me that it's now being used at a public park in Tampico, Mexico. Just look out for the mosquitoes! :eek::)

    First Take is so Dodgers-centric right now it's sickening. "Bad Dodgers or Good Astros?" Did they even watch the damn series?? Suck it Bristol, the Houston Astros are the best team in MLB and WE ARE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!! EAT IT!!!!

    I really really really hope you’re trolling about the flag.

    So..... you were unconscious at 8 months old? Did your parents knock you out or something?

    Lol, i remember that.

    Not directly but somewhat indirectly, all of that led me to becoming less of a baseball fan. Crappy team, hard to watch, move to the AL, baseball being surpassed by other sports.

    Didn't start watching again until 3 years ago... which makes me the definition of a bandwagon fan I guess... but I also put in my dues. Many happy and sad memories in the Astrodome, and MMP.

    Also.. this may just be the euphoria of having a good team... but this brand of baseball is exciting. And by this brand, I mean contact, high bball IQ. I know it comes down to talent, of course, but you'd think every team would start batting practice in spring training with the same approach... CONTACT.

    I think that's the Puerto Rican flag.

    The approach where you hit for a high average, hit a ton of HR's, and rarely strike out?

    Doing one of those 3 is crazy difficult, a team doing all 3 is historic.

    understood... noted its about talent.

    to me "contact" is the foundation.

    So, did the people that quit watching and swore off the Astros after they moved to the AL, come back?
