Well, good news from the Texans, Cougars, and Dynamo camps. All three were winners this weekend. But there was a lot more going on in the Houston sports universe this week. Let's take a look at what people were saying:
- Chronicle columnist Jose de Jesus Ortiz got called out for misdiagnosing the Astros offseason needs, and the commenter used complete sentences and no profanity. Intelligent comments on a sports blog (other than this one, natch): who knew?
- In case you missed the awesome come from behind win on Friday, here's a great recap of what may have been the best game in Dynamo history.
- Jason Friedman at the Houston Press (motto: More Than Just Ads For Massage Parlors!) has some a genius profile of new Rockets' GM Daryl Morey's Moneyball-esque approach to scouting.
- The rumors about the Astros' plans for the winter free agent market are starting to heat up. Ken Rosenthal at Fox Sports throws Luis Castillo's name in the hat, and he sounds like a much more significant upgrade (over Chris Burke) than Aaron Rowand for Luke Scott.
- Dunta Robinson's hammy is on the minds of many Texans fans this morning. Not-A-Doctor Matt from DGDB&D does yeoman's work researching the case history of this kind of injury.
- This video is the best thing (outside of killing FC Dallas on Friday) that the Dynamo have done all season:
Here's hoping the hometown teams continue to trend upward this week. Check in next week for more headlines!
