My Astros game highlights


1980 - Nolan Ryan's first game as an Astro (and first home run!)
1988 - Mike Scott throws a 1-hitter, loses it with 2 out in the 9th to friggin' Ken Oberkfell
1994 - Astros 15, Cardinals 12 - Overcame an 11-0 deficit
1994 - Jeff Bagwell 3 HR game vs. the candy ass Dodgers, including 2 in one inning
1998 - Billy Spiers wins Game 2 of the NLDS with a walkoff single in extras
1999 - Last regular season game at the Astrodome
2005 - NLCS Game 4 - Everett/Bruntlett legendary double play
2007 - Craig Biggio's last home game, lots of water works that night!

Every home opener from 1986-1999

Non Astros Superlatives
1994 - Ags 34, sips 10 in Austin
1997 WCF - Eddie Johnson wins game 4 vs the Jazz with a 3 pointer at the buzzer
1997 WCSF -Rockets beat Sonics in Game 7
2001 5A state semifinals - Austin Westlake (Chad Schroeder) def. Houston Madison (Vince) 48-42. Schroder had an 80-yard TD run to clinch it.
2003 5A D2 state title game - Katy beats SLC 16-15 in the best pure game of football ever
2004 Texas state track meet - Cinco Ranch's Scott Sellers breaks the national high jump high school record by clearing 7 feet 5 inches. To this day the greatest athletic feat I've laid eyes on.

Hall of Shame answers
1987 - Sonics 136, Rockets 80 (worst loss in team history)
1995 - Colorado 29, Ags 21
1995 - Sips 16, Ags 6 (last game of the SWC)
1997 - WCF - Stockton hits a 3 pointer to end the Rockets' season
1998 - Game 1 NLDS, Jim Leyritz hits a walkoff in extra innings and Kevin Brown strikes out 73 batters in a row (I think)
2004 - Tennessee 38-7 over the Ags in the rainy Cotton Bowl
2005 - Cal over the Ags 45-10 in the Holiday Bowl, a game that convinced me that college sports are fixed

That sounds more like he's not young anymore, we know what we have, it's a long season we expect to win, and we're in no hurry to throw him into live action.

2019 and 2021 were awful for home WS games. Stayed away in 2022 and I guess that did the trick.

Yeah the "I'm bad luck" montra was squashed in the 2019 WS, 2021 WS and 2023 ALCS. If you want to all the games at Minute Maid park we were a combined 1-10 during those 3 series at home

My only Astros playoff game was game 6 in 1986 vs the Mets. Skipped class at A&M and drove down. What a miserable drive back.

I haven't been to an Astros playoff game since and likely wont do so in the future.

You're welcome.

I sure wish they would go back to playing in Kissimmee, I remember going to Disney World for Spring Break when I was a kid and we would alternate being going to the parks and going to spring training games. Jupiter is beautiful and has great golf but it's about a 5 hour round trip from Orlando
west Palm has some nice areas and is still 30 minutes from Jupiter. We always stay in Lake Worth area and has a great boardwalk and beaches, golf, and easy access to the surrounding areas and the ballpark
