    I don't care who else they played or managed for, they will always be Astros to me.

    Stopping here to give respects to Ol Scrap Iron. Loved his fire and desire to win. One Phil Garner memory that sticks out to me was when he threw a chair in the dugout during the 2005 WS. It was another sign of how much passion he had for the game.

    God he was tough. One of the most appropriate nicknames ever. And a great mustache too.

    I remember being envious of co-workers who left HL&P to work for Enron. Nobody won that choice.
