Thanks, White Sox. Wow, never thought I’d say that. OK, so I got that off my chest. Now here’s a few other things I need to unload. (Hey, we Astroholics need to take therapy.) So, here’s some things I think I need to say. I’m sure I’ll be healthier once I’m done. 1. After each…

Wow, this has been a tough trip. And it ain’t over yet. The only game where the Astros scored more than 4 runs was a 9-12 loss to the Rangers. The rest of the losses have all been by one or two runs. Yep, it seems like every opposing pitcher is Cy Young. Now, if…

Seeing the Houston Astros finally win a World Series championship is the ultimate bucket list item, but watching life-time Astro Craig Biggio inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is at least one tick off the list for most fans.
