Do all houston teams choke?

i think the yankees won the majority of those before they were outspending people by tens of millions. players back then played for one team and when they did smove or get traded it was within the same league

True Story
Nobody bitched about Yankee payroll in 96 when Pettite shut down the Braves game 7
Nobody bitched about the Yankees payroll when Scott Brosius was the MVP of the World Series
Nobody even bitched about the Yankee payroll when Mariano single handedly won us the World Series
not until we land The Unit and A-Rod and barely outspend the Red Sox is there a huge outcry against it
if you're spending money trying to win, you're good for baseball, if you're not spending any money, and cutting players to save money, then you're a real threat to the game.

But, I also saw thousands of people who have never been to an Astros game, but jumped their *** on the tickets because it's trendy and they have money. They don't even know when to cheer or who all the players are. Where the hell were they when the Astros were 15-30??????
The Cardinals are the best hitting team in the league, you can't just roll over them all the time. **** happens in sports and it's not choking. Sure wish Houston had some loyal dependable fans who would support the team all the time.

I was stunned that they pitched to him as well, but it would have looked bad to move the tying run into scoring position as well. It was a tough call to make. Pujols has had a great NLCS. He was 0-4 going into his last at bat, but was batting .400+ in the rest of the NLCS. He had led off 5 of 7 AB's in games 2-4. He got hits, but they were wasted. My point is that at that AB in the 9th he was due, and he got a pitch to drive.

but it could also be because Houston doesn't really have a good *** team other than WNBA
It appears this "opinion" came from someone who really doesn't know much about sports. TAbeba - Have you seen the Rockets line up this year? Would you like to express your opinion about them? Are they also not "good"?

Ross, I know "retarded" can be used lightly. But when she is ganged up on its not good. Lets see, she was called a lesbian, idiot, and a retard. That crap is not needed here at all. That's why I asked you guys to chill out.
Peace,
Craig.

if choke = a loss, then in the NFL 31 teams choke every year and 29 in MLB. there is such things as great players making great plays. some might find this crazy but your gunna lose a game every once in awhile. the ball isn't always gunn take a friendly hop, unless your the 72 Dolphins

and I suppose I should therefore change my question from "are you a lesbian or an idiot?" to "Are you a die hard Comets fan or do you just not know much about the other professional sports teams in Houston?"
