Houston is not even a relevant sports city. What do they have, something like two major league sports franchises? Neither of which has EVER been relevant. The Cowboyd have multiple SB wins And an NHL title to boot. Good gosh, the audacity of ANYONE from Houston talking trash about sports is unbelievable. You guys are pretenders.
"Distressed Houston fan?" Where?Synopsis said:And yet another thread started by a distressed houston fan. I asked this in the other thread. Seriously, does the DFW metro area occupy that much of your mind?North American Flagship said:
Now the bats are humming to go along with the AL West's best pitching staff.
Poor freaking Arlington.
If so, "Houston, you have a problem."

Ah yes more early season bragging from the H-Town folks. No chance this could take a turn.

That town talks a bunch of crap to only have two championships* of any kind ever. They are the kings of months that start with A. In April the Astros will win it all and in August the Texans will dominate.
*Rockets championships that happened to coincide with Jordan playing baseball. Could be 4 if we wanted to count the Dynamo.

Oh, to be a Houston fan. Where one playoff appearance in 12 yrs and a decade winning percentage of 29% against the Rangers equal progress. It must be nice to have such expectations.

Stros hit off Yu. But, i'll give him huge respect for how he handled Yuli Gurriel's gesture. Media wanted to make it a full on scandal, but Yu didn't let them.

You're not good at baseball history if you consider that run the lone relevancy of the Houston Astros.
1965-1996: Pre-Golden Era (31 Years)
3* division championships, 0 playoff series wins, 0 MVPs, 1 Cy Young
Notable Accolades: Two stretches of 5+ years without a winning record; 18 total seasons below .500
1997-2005: Houston Astros Golden Era (9 Years)
4 division championships, 3 playoff series wins, 1 pennant, 1 MVP, 1 Cy Young
Notable Accolades: 4 first round exits with a combined record of 2-12; swept in the franchise's only World Series appearance.
2006-Present: Post-Golden Era 0 division championships, 1 playoff appearance, 0 MVPs, 1 Cy Young
Notable Accolades: Returned to the tradition of posting a 6 season run without a winning record; Only placed second in their division twice.

I have never seen more Richard Envy from any fan base than Arlington's D envy of Houston.
look the Rangers might be mediocre at best....but for the Lastros to trash talk them....LMFAO!!!!!!!
pathetic. especially in any recent comparison - consider the stats above and these below for overall records
Rangers are +150 wins better than the Stros in the last 10 years.
Stros were +87 in the previous 10 years
And Stros were +1 in the previous 10 years
Rangers have been much better recently, Stros were somewhat better the previous 10 years and before that they both sucked pretty equally. So still over 30 years the Rangers have the advantage.
and you want to talk smack about 10-5 vs. 5-10.......and claim to have any D to brag about ?!?!?!?!?!?
Muy said:
With a little more than 10% of the games played this season, it's clear the Stros will win the World Series in April again.
