Don't count on tickets to the Red Sox series, or the Yankees either. Both had lotteries for the right to buy tickets, and I'm sure they'll be all gone. I'm an Astros fan because when I moved here I decided to pull for the home team. And they are such an easy team to pull for; they're really good guys (and Mike, I miss Luke Scott too...one of my favorites, who took the time to get out of his car and sign a ball for Collin...:( ). But the team I first started watching, when I took the time to stop hating baseball and learn about it instead, was the Yankees. We lived in NJ and got the MSG network (before YES network was born), so we saw all Yankees games (didn't have the channel to see the Mets, so too bad for them). Since they were the first team I pulled for, and the team that got me interested in baseball, I'll always pull for them. Funny, one reason I started pulling for them was because of Andy Pettitte...he seemed like such a good guy, it was easy to pull for him. He came to Houston the same year we did, so of course it made the transition to Astros fan an easy one for me. But I will say that I am an Astros fan first now. :9: Sure wish I could get tickets to one of those Yankees/Astros games....:grumpy:
Mike, I agree...Pence will be a star one day. He's certainly on the way.
And let's definitely plan some Hou-Dat Saints days at Minute Maid. I can't wait for baseball season to start, either!
To those of you lucky enough to get to a game at Yankee Stadium this year...I'm insanely jealous. Going to that ballpark is almost a religious experience. I'm still ticked that they're building a new stadium instead. :rant:
