I'm not harboring any illusions of a World Series championship...let alone a .500 season. But I still love Opening Day for the pure joy of it no matter how good or bad the Astros might be.
Vamos, Astros!! Win Win Win Why are there so many pessimists here? Stop filling these threads with so much negativity, y'all! It doesn't matter how much you know about baseball or how sucky our team looks... expect the best ALL the time and hope our team does well!
I took the day off to watch the Astros get slaughtered. Never fear...there will be beer! Of course, I'm hoping for an opening day win for a change. Regardless, I plan on enjoying myself and opening day. But, please win Astros. No 0-3 start after 0-8 last year. PLEASE NO O-FER OPENER PUKE IN MY TACOS! WIN! WIN DAMMIT! WIN!!!!!!
Dudes, what a glorious day for baseball. Class from 11-12, and then I can watch the Stros dismantle the Phils in HD on ESPN. Prediction for the series, by the way... WWW.
This season is immensely more exciting for me just because we actually have a future. The last couple of years, management was still clinging to hope and putting together patchwork rosters that they thought could contend (overpaying Feliz, signing Pudge) and thinking Berkman and Lee would be all-star hitters. At least now we've begun the rebuilding and can look forward to seeing some young players develop.
Pumped for this, we just have to hope for a lights out Myers performance and somehow sneak a run or 2. It's even on telly here in good old Blighty!
Dang, I can't find an App or website to listen to/watch the game. Guess I'll just have to follow the boxscore Pugs
