Really is.  And this is why we belong in the American League West.  I can have a late client meeting near Galveston and get home with the game still not started!!

First game I have had a chance to watch in a couple of weeks and we break out to an early lead, how sweet it is.

He had no chance in hell of making that out at first, why wouldn't he just hang on to it?

A double play will clean up a lot of messes.

Altuve comes through again. Jones shouldn't have grabbed the ball from between the ground and the wall padding. Would have just been a ground rule double.

His change is in the head of a lot of their hitters.

One could be forgiven for thinking that Grossman has a quota for looking k's.

Jose Altuve with hit #200 on the season!!! Love. That. Kid!!!
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

One of my favorite baseball memories involves missing Altuve's MLB debut! Remind me to tell you about it in Cooperstown at his HOF induction!!!

Good guys take the series with a win 5 - 2, nice to continue the recent winning ways.

The Astros are now 8-2 in their last 10 games
Since July 6th, Houston is 29-27.
Heck, since May 10th, Houston is 54-55.

And 6-2 in their last 8 against 3 teams that are well above 500.  Including 6 road games.

This feels altogether better than last year.
