which do you think they are really closer to? now or early season? with their rotation sporting some real stinkers i'd say they are really overachieving. 1 or 2 players = ben sheets, real CF would do a lot of good, maybe even enough to make a real run at the playoffs but i don't know about title contention

if your only going to be an "avid" fan when they give you something to cheer for then your not an avid fan to begin with. I'm with you on the beer prices though, but there is something about going to the park, even when they aren't any good.

hey that's fair enough. i'll take what comes and if i get called a fair-weather fan, so be it. i supported for so long, astrodome days...then came the juice box and i never really had the same connection with the team. then the team just fell apart under purpura, now bagwell/biggio are gone...not much is left of what i remember loving the astros for.
