I've been to the astros spring training practice games in Kissimmee a couple times and it's a pretty different baseball experience. If you are really into stros I suggest making it down there some time.

I thinik I remember him posting about being involved in the Triple-A team or something like that. I saw a Spring Training game a long time ago when I was a kid. I was in Florida to watch the Space Shuttle launch and we drove through Kississime so we stopped for a game. Neat stuff.

Yeah we went last year on spring break to spring Training. It is way better then local games. We got over fifteen different autographs to include personal hand shakes with Garner Biggio and Berkman cause all the guys that came with me were in the Army and he rlly supported us. We are going again this spring break from the 8th to the 15th. Going to watch them play detroit and the dodgers. Cant wait. I actually have one more seat for someone to go if anyone is interested and has the time off. Gonna be an awesome trip. I also won the lotter for the yanks/sox game. I am keeping the sox tickets, but I also bought 4 tickets to the yankees game in section 109 field box. I have no interest in these tickets other then I am gonna make like a 500% profit on them on ebay. I love the Astros, and I think they have an awesome shot this year, and Tejada is going to be fine. Will take a while before they start investigating him, IMOP. Lets keep an Astros site open so people can post when they are going to games and ****, so maybe we can have link ups and stuff. I think that would be cool cause I go to atleat twenty games a season. Go Astros!

The ONLY reason I don't have season tickets is because I'd spend WAY too much money on beer. I'm not joking. LOL.

They make these awsome all plastic flasks, fits perfect into a cargo pocket... You cant beat the $3.50 sodas, then just add your drink of choice.

Yes, i wish i could take my kids down to Florida to watch, but it is expensive. My son is a huge baseball fan and player. He is a Yankee fan, I am a Red Sox Fan. I live in Sox country when i was in the Navy for 10 years. I have to follow both now for my son.
