Astro Fans, Introduce Yoursleves! 

Post#1 » by Vator » Mon Apr 2, 2007 6:13 am

I'll start it off. Feel free to add things to this template or just do your own thing.

Where are you from?

Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin but I have lived in Houston almost my whole life. Specifically, I live in Missouri City which is a suburb just outside of Houston.

School:
Graduated from the University of Houston

Work:
Pimping...my talents. I do a lot of stuff actually. perhaps I'll share it all eventually. 8)

Interesting Fact About Yourself (keep it clean, lol):
I have a beautiful soon to be 7 months old daughter. She is pretty much running the house now.

Why the Astros?
Hometown team.

All-Time Favorite Astro:

Jeff Bagwell

Favorite Current Astro:
Lance Berkman

Favorite Astro Moment:

Beating the Cardinals and going to the World Series

Least Favorite Moment:

Has to be either Brad Lidge losing his Mojo or getting swept in the world sereis.

If you could play baseball, what position and why?


Centerfield or shortstop. I'm fast and those were the positions that I always got stuck at growing up. I wouldn't mind pitching but my aim isn't great, I would definitely incite a brawl by hitting a bunch of batters, lol.

Predict the Astros record and successes/failures this season:

84-78
No playoffs this year. :( I hope I'm wrong.
Berkman and Lee will have great years, looking for Ensberg to bounce back now that he is healthy and Brad Lidge to implode again. the pitching staff will be our weakness. No Roger this time.

Where are you from?

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, but ill be in Austin, Tx this fall because I'm going to UT.

School:
Langham Creek High School
Will Attend UT Austin, this fall.

Work:
I still have yet to get a job, lol.

Interesting Fact About Yourself (keep it clean, lol):
I like sports, it basiclly dominates my world, and keeps me competitive.

Why the Astros?
Hometown team.

All-Time Favorite Astro:

Jeff Bagwell

Favorite Current Astro:
Lance Berkman

Favorite Astro Moment:

The 2004 playoffs, we had a chance to win it all that yr, we had Kent, Beltran, Berkman, Bagwell, Biggo, and our pitching was the best in the majors, we had it, soo close.

Least Favorite Moment:

Brad lidge gave up the homer to Albert in game 5.

If you could play baseball, what position and why?


2nd Base, Im not a thrower, I can hit pretty well, and I can do the little stuff.

Predict the Astros record and successes/failures this season:
90-72
Wild card team to make the playoff, if we succeed it will be because of our offense, ie we have failures, it will because of our pitching.

hmm...

I hope this isn't a bad sign with Lidge... don't know what happen to him (it's been a while since that incident that killed his confidence).
