Thank you for staying true to your word and giving us a competitive team, going for rings, and spending the necessary money to do so. This is why my loyalty lies with the astros before any other Houston team(though I love them all), and I have no problem spending my hard earned money to watch and support this team. You are the best!
I bet you anything Luhnow knew he was going to pull the trigger on this all along, and he sat in the Wheeler and MadBum decisions til the bitter end just to drive the price up on the Yankees. He's an absolute BOSS, and Crane is proving that the best trade the Astros EVER made was trading Drayton McLane for Jim Crane.
Whether it works out this year or not, he has done it. Luhnow too. He said it was going to happen, he did it, it came to fruition. How could we as fans ask for anything more?
I agree 100%. Team is a WS threat for atleast another 5 years with the young elite talent on the team.
He's been great. He had to deal with the AL move, the CSN debacle, a garbage team, and some angry Astros legends early on.
Less inherited the roster. The Astros were built from the ground up under Crane and is set up as dynasty level talented team.
Yankee fan reactions today are so awesome. It makes me feel so giddy. They are acting like the rest of the NBA when GSW got KD.
Les pretty much lucked into those championships. Then he changed the uni's and prevented the NHL. He's arguably a bad owner.
He's presided over the Rockets being relevant for pretty much his entire tenure so he definitely overall is a success in the grand scheme of things. Not many franchises can say in any sport that they only had 3 sub .500 seasons since 1984.
You guys forgot we tanked for years to get draft picks. We dumped JD Martinez, traded Hunter Pence to lower the payroll. And the Stros were drawing less than 10,000 a game. Rockets never had the chance to tank.
