    I will be there Sunday. I live in Dallas-Fort Worth now so its more rare for me to catch games as when I lived in Houston previously.

    very much so. i think part of it is he grew up a baseball guy....you want someone at the top who "gets it" at least culturally with the game.

    Not me. I'll never forgive him for what he has done to my (former) team.

    Not to argue this again, but there nothing he could do to stop the formation of the Houston ALstros.

    Exactly. He probably wanted to stay in the NL, but I suppose the only thing he's guilty of is caving in to Darth Selig and not putting up an even bigger fight against the move.

    I'll deal with it the only way I can; by flipping the bird to Bud Seilg. And I have a tremendous amount of respect for the things he's done in an Astros uniform, but F you too, Nolan Ryan.

    Against the Brewers, our offense showed some life. We are going to need every bit of it vs the Rangers.

    I've actually been surprised they've sold as many tickets for games as they have this season before school gets out.

    Anyone try to order through the link?
    I was confused if you still had to purchase the vouchers for $10 a piece if you purchased your tickets through that link, or only needed to purchase vouchers if you had a ticket from else where.

    Edit nevermind. When you select a seat it says bayoubash on it.

    Not true. he could have walked away. Selig knew that Crane did not have the balls to do that, so off to the AL.

    Trying to decide between fielboxes or go cheap and mezzanine or terrace. I know the latter two are on deck two and three respectfully.

    One better than the other view wise? Terrace is a few bucks more but higher.....
