Go get 'em!
Well done!

Astros are in second place so far, so it is a good season.

I enjoyed this. Also, hi everyone! I have missed you – and baseball – rather deeply.

We miss you too. We're here at Spanish Flowers.

Thanks.  Stole a line from you in there.

And here’s their chance to prove it – sweep the Cocksuckers from Queens to open the season and fling monkey shit upon the Derek Jeter retirement circle jerk.

Thems the Cocksuckers from the Bronx, but I understand old habits are tough to break.

And speaking of Jeter, is your squad going to give him one of these lame retirement gifts? 
I mean considering that the Astros/Yanquis "rivalry" goes way to a number of months ago and that the end of his storied career is still six months away, I personally wouldn't go all out or spend too much.  Maybe, considering the length of the relationship, perhaps one of those gift baskets he's been known to distribute following short-term encounters would be appropriate.

I think that a group Cyclops would be an appropriate recognition for Jeter.

The Yankees were the first opponents to play against the Astros in both the Astrodome and MMPUS (nee EFUS).  In a really lame way it's the Astros current longest-running rivalry.

And nice job EC!  I am always impressed by the effort the site's contributors put in.

I knew I hated those Yankee motherfuckers, but I didn't realize how much until you provided the visual aids. Thanks EC!

Excellent job EC!

As, for Jeter's farewell, if you'd been there tonight, you'd have seen the Astros give Jeter the large size tube of Blistex.  It was very touching.
