Looking forward to seeing how Springer fairs and if they start the mass callups thus year, or next. Should finally start getting exciting to watch some of their more highly touted and legitimate players.

Are they going to field a Major League team this year? It only took the Pirates 20 fuckin years to field one. Love Baseball season.

How are the Astros going to do? Here's a hint. They have had a player tearing up the minors for FUCKING YEARS bd they send him down to start the year in the minors so they can save a few bucks in a few years when he is arbritarion eligible. Meanwhile the team sucks

Are you kidding the Skeeter's are independent baseball. Most of the teams are made up of old players trying to reinvent their careers or younger guys that can't get signed to a minor league team.
Will the stros suck? You bet! The previous owner and management depleted the entire farm system. It takes years to rebuild. The Astros farm system is now one of the better in baseball but even with that there is a huge difference between MLB and the minor league pitching and defense. Give it some time and I think we will be back.
Back in the days I used to know every single player on the astros roster, now I literally can't name one single player. I think this season I'm going to try to get back into baseball and the 'stros. That way I can start keeping track of them now, so when they're kicking ass again in 5 or 6 years it will feel that much more special.

Good man. Most will wait until they ARE competitive again and then all of a sudden - "a Die Hard fan". I always laugh my ass off at people like that.
