Scott - I have respected your posts throughout Net54 but an Astros fan?
Wow,,, I thought it was bad for me being a Mets fan,,, but the Astros? .
I will have to look at your posts in a whole new light now .
You should try to find a major league team to root for.

Maybe they should do like they do in hockey, if it is tied after regulation time you don't lose (you are going to get at least 1 point), if baseball is tied after 9 innings they can play sudden death for 1 inning. And then, if still tied, have a HR hitting contest to decide the winner
Just kidding - I think that part of hockey is foolish. The shootout should be like the DH,,, get rid of it now.

Does the signature on the ticket look like the ones that were almost undeniably signed by Ruth in 1934? (Seen in post #208)

That was cruel.

Yesterday I was wearing my Astros garb prior to the game, and one of our building janitors looked at me in surprise, and asked in broken English: "Are you REALLY an Astros fan?!?"

I guess being an Astros or Mets fan could explain some things - maybe having a sort of weird 'Napoleon complex' due to shortness of team?
