The lid was placed on the 2017 MLB season with the crowning of Jose Altuve as the Esurance 2017 Most Valuable Player! The best player on the best team in pro baseball. Hopefully this is but a chapter...
The Astros are wrapping up their 2017 season by collecting individual awards for the players and coaches.
So far Jose Altuve has collected, for the 2nd straight year, the top two awards given by the...
The season is over and what a ride it has been! From Day 1 houston led the AL West and, in that, they went wire to wire. That was one thing but after just 2 months the Astros were so far ahead the...
The hangover is pretty much over now. I’m not talking about the kind where you’ve had too much alcohol to drink that involves a bad headache, sensitivity to life and a general feeling that you...
I'm starting to worry about Eagle Eye.
Thank you for your concern Drac! I have a day job and a house under reconstruction because of Harvey and the past few days have been rather busy.
Game 1...
Game 1 of the 2017 World Series is tonight beginning at 7 PM CDT in Los Angeles California. The worst thing about this is the unseasonably hot weather in Cali right now. Temps at game time could be...
I’m not saying anything. Astros-Yankees in Houston at 7 o’clock. Verlander vs Severino. I’m not making predictions, I’m not saying doo-doo about anything. I am not even watching the game. I...
Astros lose 6-4 in a game they had won in Game 4 of the ALCS evening the series at 2 wins apiece. Game 5 is today again at 4 o’clock. Not much to say except, “Thank you Ken Giles for sucking last...
Ah, Monday! The sun is bright, the air is cool, the humidity is down. This is a Monday that beats all Mondays. After a really nice weekend, especially to this sports fan, today is just icing on the...
The Astros had good fortune smile on them last night when the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians in Game 5 of the ALDS to advance on the new acronym, ALCS. This is after the Yankees were down 2...
The Astros did it and I’m exhausted. I really needed a moment of relief but I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to put on goggles and spray beer and champagne on each other and scream bloody murder...
The Astros couldn’t close out the Red Sox yesterday and they sort of looked bad not doing it. After repeating the formula from the first two games of the series, jumping out to an early lead via a...
Since the last time I posted the Astros have done what we pretty much expected of a team that had the second most wins in the American League and had home field advantage. There are some surprises...
The Astros named the Game 1 and Game 2 starters yesterday. Game 1 will feature Justin Verlander whom the Astros acquired via trade at the very last minutes of August 31st to bolster their starting...
Here’s some pre-playoff news for the Houston Astros.
Jose Altuve has won his 3rd batting title in 4 years. He led the AL in hits with 204 and with those 204 hits he becomes the first right handed...
Houston finished the regular season with a 4-3 win over Boston. They also closed out the season with a series win. It was a pretty good week as they swept the Rangers then they won 3 of 4 against the...
It didn't seem possible as recently as 2 weeks ago but tonight the Astros won their 100th game of the season. Their current win streak is now 5 games after they beat Boston 3-2. They have also won 8...
The Astros swept the Rangers!! Whoo-hoo!!!! They did it scoring double digit runs and to make it even sweeter the final out was made by Tony Sipp who picked off Will Middlebrooks who was on 2B after...
I am on cloud nine today. The Astros topped the 11 runs they scored on Monday night by putting up 14 last night in a 14-3 rout of the Rangers. Couldn’t be happier unless maybe they score 17 tonight...
Okay AJ, what the hell are you doing? Yeah, I know, you are beating the crap out of the Rangers and you're feeling pretty good about Collin McHugh getting out of a bases loaded jam in the 5th inning...
I don’t care about stats or how long a starter goes in a game but I do care when my team sucks the big one against a team that annoys the heck out of me. Dallas Keuchel had a couple of bad innings...
The Astros did it, they clinched their first division title in 16 years and they won their first division title as an American League team. The Astros clinched the AL West yesterday afternoon as...
Ah, home sweet home. The Astros had 3 days at home in their last home stand and it came on the heels of Harvey when they were away from their families and homes and couldn't get back due to the...
Man, I hate being right sometimes. I was wrong about the double digit loss last night but I was close as Houston was slapped around by the Angels to the tune of 9-1. I was absolutely right about Mike...
Quick update and you’re not going to like it. Lance McCullers is scratched from his regular start tonight in Los Angeles because of arm fatigue-whatever the hell that means. Taking his place is...
