Default Astros Car Show - Saturday

Me and Jon (ProjecT9) are going to be out there Saturday, it would be sweet to see some more "tech'ers" out this time. It was pretty neat last year and I'm pretty certain it's going to be a lot bigger this year.

Hit me up if you are coming out, I highly recommend preregistering though.

Here is the flyer they sent me.

Hey guys! This is actually a show I am putting on. The show is going to actually have a little of everything. I've had a descent amount of late model F-Bodies, Vettes and Mustangs sign up, but I've also had some older muscle signing up for it as well.

We're offering 12 classes, so everyone should be covered. Honestly, this isn't an ultra competitive show, but there will be awards. It's more about having a good time and enjoying a ballgame after the show. It takes place right next to the stadium and you leave your car during the game (security provided), so not only do you get great parking, but tickets are included in the registration.

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

The Astros record sucks this year, but the offense is top 5 in the NL. The pitching sucks so far (other than Myers) which is why our record is horrible. Pitching wins ballgames.

...for anyone who cares about the Astros.

Sure did! The bats were quiet though. Strange how that works out.

It's looking like we're going to have a pretty descent turnout for tomorrow. It is limited as far as how many cars we can fit in the car show, so if you're looking to drive up, you may want to show a little early.

All of it in the last 6 games. I'm glad he's doing well, but he won't keep up the pace he has had as of late. Lance has always been a stud though

Well, he's on pace to hit 65hr and bat in 140 runs. No one would keep that pace up...not in the HR category. That's for sure.

I still think the Astros should have at least contacted him to see if he was interested in returning. I'd be willing to bet he'd have returned for a lot less than the $8 million St. Louis is paying him.

His replacement (Brett Wallace) is batting .260 with 1 hr and 6 rbi and a .711 OPS.

Carlos Lee is sucking it up again this year.
