Houston Astros

Last night I was flipping around the channels looking for something to watch on TV while doing some work on the computer, and that's when I passed Fox Sports Southwest and saw that they were showing the Rangers Astros game. Well, I had forgotten about that game and was pleasantly surprised that it was on...

Early this season, the Houston Astros have shown they claw their way back into games.  They trailed by two early in the game and came back to win their sixth game out of eight.    Jose Altuve smashed at three run homer in the fourth, Evan Gattis also joined in the party with a homer of his own, as the Astros defeat the Angels 5-3 on Sunday...

The Houston Astros have beat the Texas Rangers for the third straight night.  The previous two night have been come from behind victories.  Last night was a different story as the Astros straight up dominated the Rangers. Marwin Gonzalez hit yet another big homer against the Texas Rangers, as he continues his early power surge this year...

The Houston Astros have started this season generating a little buzz.  The bats have come alive and the pitchers have gotten stubborn.  Over the last four games, the Astros have combined to score 34 runs, and last night the pitching staff supported the Houston bats...

Baseball season is here and the Astros are ready to open in front of their home crowd.  Minute Maid Park will play host to the Seattle Mariners tonight,  first pitch is at 7:10.  They have the AL batting champion, a big-hitting shortstop and a few newcomers to boost a potent lineup...

Jose Altuve was the man yesterday, powering the Houston Astros over the Los Angeles Angels 10-4, completing a sweep of a 3-game series. Altuve was 4-5 at the plate, scoring 4 runs in the win, which marks the 2nd time in 2 weeks that the Astros have swept the Angels...

It looks like I didn't jinx them when I wrote about the Houston Astros yesterday because they managed to pick up their 5th straight win beating the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 yesterday. A Jose Altuve home run and a  Marwin Gonzales triple that scored a run in the 8th inning gave the 'stros the win...

It went 11 innings last night, and George Springer played the hero once again with a walk-off 2-run homer that gave the 'stros their 3rd win in a row over the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4. That's 5 in a row for the Astros, and the 8th out of the last 9 games...

With all the hype about how great the Houston Astros are going to be this year, the early season struggles were disappointing, to say the least but, maybe they're turning a corner after a couple of wins moved them out of last place in the division...

All of you Astros fans are going to have to wait another day for Major League Baseball, mother nature had other plans.  Rain has postponed a season opener between the Astros and Yankees.  The "beard' is just going to have to wait one more day to make a trip to the mound...

Right now the Houston Astros are winding down Spring Training, and are just about ready to start the season.  After a very successful season last year and making the playoffs, they have earned an opening day match up at Yankee Stadium on Monday April, 4th at 12:05...

After what I call an AWESOME Astros season last year, it's almost time to start all over again.  Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training of Feb 18th and Feb 22nd everybody else reports.  The Astros first spring training game is on March 3rd all leading to the season opener...
