The Houston Aeros of the WHA. Gordie Howe played for them.

I’m really surprised Houston doesn’t have an NHL team. It would be a great rivalry with the Dallas Stars.

The Houston Aeros? AT one time they had Gordie Howe and two of his sons on the roster so they were jokingly called the Howe-ston Aeros!

Nope. Those games were 30 years apart.

Lindsey Nelson: “We should have known what kind of team it would be right from the first day of spring training when a guy came out in a newly printed “Property of New York Mets t-shirt. He said, ‘You don’t know me yet, but I’m the calisthenics director. Today we’re going to do breathing exercises. Everybody, with me: Inhale...and dehale.’”

If o recall correctly, Moises was the first player to bat at turner and Felipe was the last (father and son I think).

I don’t know the other two.

Too ridiculous to even read past the first paragraph.

In Colorado two weeks ago today and I took my son and his family to Rockies vs Pirates. 18 rows behind the home dugout, $175 seats. I got them for $62 because… they suck. Good game actually and they won 8-5 after a pretty dramatic thunderstorm rain delay. Last I looked they were 35.5 games back, so I have to confess I don’t share the author’s optimism

At one time they were 9-50.

Since then they are 24-39, so they are a little better since then.

“Forget everything you think you know about baseball...”

Already have as they don’t know how to play the game. They don’t know how to hit, bunt, field, or throw strikes.

When you’re that far back in August the countdown until mathematical elimination has begun.
