Jonathan Gaston, add two, and you get 25...

Yes, thats right... Jonathan Gaston hits home runs #24, and #25 tonight versus the Stockton Ports, Class A Affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, I misjudged traffic so I arrived in the 5th inning, apparently, each time Gaston hits a home run, women walk around with canvas bags attached to sticks asking for donations for each home run... I sadly did not contribute, but by no means do I want him to quit hitting home runs. Jethawks fall 11-6... I will be attending tomorrow's game, roughly 10 hours and 52 minutes from now... Go Astros, Go Jethawks

First Trip To Minute Maid

good for a win. Beautiful ballpark, enjoyed the sights as early as possible via pre-game tour. The signage for where the tour was to be beginning at was non-existent, it took the help of a friendly Astros usher in a "Hover-round" to get me in the right place. For those of you who haven't been on the tour, I strongly recommend it. All-in-all great game, I believe that Roy O. may be injured and not saying it. Coop was slow on pulling him from the game after surrending the back-to-back homeruns by Ramirez and Ethier, and a fast-forward to the bottom of the 8th, sacrificing my voice for a victory, leading chants of "Lets Go Astros" and "Beat L.A." The Astros put pressure on Belisario "Beli-Sorry-O" Hey, my fellow Astros fans, need to make some more noise! Also, the "Beat L.A. chant", dont look so confused, it must be remembered!
Nicest ballpark I have visited, parks in the running include, Petco Park (San Diego), AT&T Park (San Francisco), Chase Field (Arizona), Angel Stadium (Anaheim), and the old sanctuary of Mr. Padre (T. Gwynn), Jack Murphy/Qualcomm (San Diego). Astros 10th inning show, fail. Bring your brooms tomorrow, unfortunately, I am not going to the game, but I will see you all Fri, Sat, Sun, versus the Brew Crew.

This image was created in response to Cecil Cooper publicly voicing that he is to play golf on his off-day and not think about the "stress" of managing. Coop, I'll meet you at the 19th hole, and we will go over the 2009 season as a whole. This image was a day late, but I still deliver... Hope you guys enjoy!

This image was created in response to DyingQuail's Fanpost regarding Ed Wade lying and/or being misunderstood. After dinner with the family, I am finally done. I bring you Ed Wade as "Liar Liar" By the way Alyson, you are welcome to come over and "let it out." I am not offended by Ed Wade not saying anything, I think it makes it a bigger surprise for Astros fans. Go 09' 'Stros

The image is in response to HighLeveragePerformer's Fanpost regarding a creative nickname for the Blum/Boone platoon. I figured since Boone's farm is a cheap malt liquor, and the Astros are trying to save money, the idea was perfect. After hours of work, nearly laughing every time I looked at the image while I was working on it, I present to my Crawfish Boxes brethren, Bloone's Farm!

Traveling to Houston, April 21-28, Need Input!

NocturnalMatt — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:04:47 -0000

I will be traveling to Houston for the first time, I want the perspective of the intelligent Astros fans who have evolved from the fan forum. I would like to know where to park, where to eat, where are the smoking sections, and where can I score the arterie clogging baked potato? I can't express how nice it is going to be to finally not have to compete to be louder than the home crowd. Thanks to all of you for your future recommendations, I hope to be hearing from you!

Sergio Perez unhappy with his outing against the Atlanta Braves., in what would become the Astros first loss of the Spring. Sergio didn't do that "bad" he kept the ball down, and let the defense do the work.

Cecil Cooper As Blade, He needs to neutralize the vampires that have been feasting on the Astros since 05'. The two weapons represent an offensive outburst all season long, and the veteran arms with one year left.
