Well, now it’s the most important game of the season. And Houston has lost all of their “This is the most important game of the season” games before now. The game is on ESPN, and the Rockets have had some stinkers on national television this season. I could look at the record, but ir’s gotta […]
As the Houston Astros prepare for another season with championship expectations, two of the most important figures in the organization find themselves in uncertain territory. General manager Dana Brown and manager Joe Espada are both entering the final years of their contracts, and owner Jim Crane has offered little clarity about their futures.

NBA Draft analysis makes for some funny discourse. Some basketball fans are obsessive about it. Once a player hits 25, they’re like Leonardo DiCaprio – they lose interest. (My fingers typed that without my permission. It just, happened). There’s nothing (in the case of basketball) wrong with that. Taking an interest in prospects is fun. […]
A week after the All-Star Break in 2005, the Houston Astros were swept in St. Louis. The loss dropped them two under .500 and for all intents and purposes, left them dead in the water.
