The Silver Boot Series

Eat that Rangers! Give us the boot back right now. It's ours for a year! It was fun playing the Rangers and I was amazed at how many Astros fans were up in Dallas. I have been told that it has been that way for years. It is reversed in football though. Many Houston residents cheer for Dallas Cowboys instead of their Texans (in previous years the Oilers). Funny how that works out. It isn't like the Rangers or Astros were ever big winning teams. I bet it has everything to do with Nolan Ryan.

In regards to how the Astros actually played, OFFENSE was scorching. Especially Mike Lamb (game 2) and Preston Wilson (game 1). And Taylor Buchholz has shutout the Rangers everytime he has faced them. Way to go rookie!

Lance Berkman is the only Houston team member playing in the All-Star game. Do I care? No way. That game is lame anyway. They should have just made it a Mets/Cardinals vs. Sox (red and white)/Yankees match up. They have most of the players anyway. Who cares about that? I think no more than two representatives per team should be permitted. If that doesn't give enough for a roster then 3 per team. This year's roster is a JOKE for both leagues. Still, go NL!
