Good morning, Houston. 'Stros win! 'Stros win! Whooooooo! Ahem. Yes, well, as you probably know by now, the Astros beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-2 last night to end their 10-game losing streak. The game marked the highest run total for the 'Stros in three weeks, and the team's 16 hits matched their season high — not bad. "It was a fun night for everybody," Woody Williams told the AP.

Reds center fielder Norris Hopper got the game started on a lead off double and then scored on Alex Gonzalez's single for the 1-0 lead. Ken Griffey Jr....

Hey, hey! How about those Astros? With the game winding down with two outs in the eighth inning, the Houston team punched in five runs to give Chris Sampson (2-0) a much deserved victory.

With 4 days until Roy Oswalt and the Houston Astros start the 2007 season, we are holding back the “giddy.” While this spring had some highlights (Jason Lane, .260, 5HR’s & newbie Carlos Lee .370), concerns abound in the pitching department.

While its never the perfect indicator...

We're always in the mood for a little Astros nostalgia, and here's some courtesy of a vintage TV commercial from Channel 20 — remember when it was called Channel 20? We date this ad to 1985, when Reds player-manager Pete Rose was "inches away" from breaking Ty Cobb's hitting record (which he did on Sept. 11, 1985). Just thinking about those days — the bad hair, the rainbow uniforms, the Home Run Spectacular —...
