I’d planned on heading to the Juicebox around 5pm today for the 7pm start time because I wanted one of the team blankets. You know what they say about “the best laid plans?” Yeah, that totally applies here. Didn’t end up leaving the office until roughly 5:40, which meant we got to Minute Maid way [...]

Editorial note: For those reading the live recaps on my blog, you’ll notice I am now cross-posting them to The Crawfish Boxes, which is the absolute best Houston Astros blog I’ve ever run across.

I realize it’s somewhat ridiculous to talk about the first week of a baseball season and claim that it foreshadows the rest of the year, but I’m going to do it anyway. I’m going to Opening Night at Minute Paid Park tonight, and I couldn’t be more excited. That is, as long as I get [...]

Astros pitching. The one phrase that doesn’t strike fear in the heart of opposing teams, but causes Astros fans to cringe.
It’s no secret that the Houston pitching problem was an afterthought for new general manager Ed Wade during the offseason. Houston was bad on both offense and pitching last year, but the pitching staff was [...]

I’m going to be attending a lot of Astros games this year. I work about 10 minutes away from Minute Maid park (not counting Houston drivetime traffic, of course), and it’s altogether too easy for me to get off work around 6 and head over to the Park for some baseball. Last year, I would [...]
