The 2013 Major League Baseball Season

Astros pitcher Bud Norris

Purpose Pitch is BACK and the ASTROS are in 1st Place

Baseball started last night and the Astros won the first game of 2013.  All alone at the top, it feels nice.  Suck on that anyone who thought the Astros would be cellar dwellers in the AL West.

10.  Lance Berkman is a Good Man - Jon Heyman is a squirrell,  March 22nd

Yeah, you heard me Lance.  You're a good man.  I'm sorry the Astros didn't pony up the money for you.  Did they even make an offer?  Anyway, good luck in Texas.

Good luck in the World Cup games, Mr. Lucroy.

My main man Roger Clemens is not guilty.
