Minute Maid Park

Well, things have certainly taken a turn for the worse since my last preview. Talk about a big ol’ stinky shitburger the last few weeks. Whew.

There’s still time to turn this home-stand around though, and it all starts with RoyO remembering how to pitch. Someone convince Roy to lick the top of a 9 volt battery, that should get the Good Guys going in the right direction.

Minute Maid Park

Well well well, back to .500 again. A 3 game sweep of the Hothouse Brew Crew with a glimpse of what could be with the high-octane offense WadeSmith assembled has the Astro Nation State County Metro-Area couple of blocks around Minute Maid Park buzzing. Lets hope this isn’t just another fleeting glimpe of above-parism before we fall back in to Pirate-esque suckiness again.

Minute Maid Park

This looks disturbingly familiar… Padres and Astros. Seems like we’ve done it before. This time though, instead of playing at Yellowstone Petco Park, we’re playing in the friendly confines. Where it’s always 72 degrees and shady, unless you’re sitting in one of the unfortunate sections that gets to look directly into the sun through the magnifying glass-like windows in left and left center field. If you ARE sitting in those seats, do your best not to burst in to flames. It wouldn’t look nice on my highway… Now you can think about it… But don’t do it.

It’s windy, miserable, and probably going to rain at least once this series. Nice work MLB scheduling games for the Mud n’ Blood in the Northern US of A when they’ve got a perfectly good retractable roof crib back in Houston.

Well, here it is. The moment we’ve been dreading. Craig Biggio is riding off into the hustle-colored sunset. Apparently hustle and the constant smog over Houston look a lot alike. Drawing the last preview of the year is both a blessing and a curse. This will be the preview you remember going in to the void.

Or it will be the preview you wish you could forget about all off-season… No pressure or anything.
