    George Springer is now just 753 games away from passing Barry Bonds in all time homeruns

    You can get them at the team store in MMP in blue and orange. They're $30 (tax included) which is about what you'll pay at Academy (if they have them).

    My Academy (Pearland) didn't have any. I walked over to MMP and picked one up on my lunch break yesterday.

    George Springer goes yard again. I'm glad I could read the box score to find that out instead of watching it.



    best Charlie Palillo impersonation...*sigh*

    I was inches away from the HR last night! At least a dude in a Rockets championship t-shirt got it if I didn't.

    So was I. We must have been sitting pretty close to each other. I was in 103 and the end of row 6.

    At lease we're in the highlights, right?

    lord I was always so scared when he was pitching. He had a run of luck that was almost unmatched in pitching.
