Official 2012 Houston Astros season thread

[king]

Opening day tonight at 6:05 vs the Colorado Rockies

[mat]

3-3 in the 7th with back to back HRs I think in the 5th. Carlos Lee with one of those plus an early RBI.

I felt the need to brag on them a little while I can. I wish Carlos could keep it up for the season.

[mat]

Just what I thought. 5-3 loss with four errors

[king]

Stupid errors!

stros start the season by winning a series against a pretty decent rockies team.  better start than i expected.

[mat]

Very surprised with a lead off series win. I hope they can keep it up

[mytwocents-28]

Lets hope they keep it up.

[king]

Just getting beat down like a rag doll  :(

Astros looked real good yesterday. If only they could play like this all the time.

[king]

Looking pretty good right now.

[jenks]

I am thinking about even buying some tickets this year.

[Guest Bonanza]

Only thing that concerns me is Mills bc not to much faith in him. Four straight wins makes me happy and headed out tonight.

[Guest Bonanza]

Had a good time toinght watching Houston beat the cards and excited that we have won five straight. Not sure how long it last but until its over cmon Stros.

[king]

Hopefully they sweep Pirates and move up to .500

Yes, that will be a pleasant surprise considering last year at this point. This year could be a cinderella season!

oh well, they are still playing hard.

Can't seem to beat those phillis. Playing them tough, but not quite there. The Stros will be in the post season quicker than expected. I like this new team.

[jenks]

Pence got a little revenge today.

[king]

Seeing glimps of brad lidge

Glad they hung on,  Myers is not the answer for closer.

[jenks]

Looks like the Astros are going to win another series!

[jenks]

Rangers look real good. Its hard to believe we will be playing them a lot more next year.

[king]

So what. Once the Stros get older they will compete with everybody.

Great win tonight. Don't forget King they have a new owner and GM. Hopefully those methods of trading your good players are with the last owner and gm. We shall see.
