Back at it

So, the blog thing never really caught on once we got moving with making shirts and trying to run our website. That being said, we're bringing it back. I'm going to try to get back going updating you on all things Houston. So apologies for the time we've spent away but thanks for checking it out now that we're back. Here's a little bit on the state of sports in Houston.

Houston Dynamo:
Starting off the season 1-1-1, the Dynamo have had moments of brilliance and moments of sheer garbage. A tie in Frisco against the hated rivals of FC Dallas (whose supporters, I hear, enjoy sharing stadium space with their opponents) started the season on a predictable slow note. An incredible 2 penalty kicks lead the Orange past defending Champions Real Salt Lake and a downright miserable performance against LA rounded out the first three games of the season. With holes needing filling in midfield and on the defense, and question marks in the forward position, the Houston faithful are holding on to the old adage "In Dom We Trust" hoping our fearless coach will lead us again to the Cup.

Houston Rockets:
It's been a long injury prone season but with 2 games left the Rockets are promising to finish over .500. At 41-39 the Rockets won't make it to the playoffs, but will finish strong especially given the lack of leadership on the team. That isn't to say certain players haven't stepped up, but the Rockets are certainly lacking in the superstar role. The off season should be interesting and rest assured that the return of Yao Ming will have an incredible impact on a roster that would be considered one of the best supporting casts in the NBA. I have to believe that once the free agent dust settles and Lebron and DWade land where they will, the Rockets will be making major moves towards building a championship worthy team.

Houston Astros:
Not much to say here. We knew coming into the 2010 season that it was going to be a long one, but I'm not sure anyone knew exactly how long that meant. With a 5-0 loss today, we have officially started the season 0-7. Granted, our first three series have been against the best teams in the National League, we have shown very little attempts at offense and never looked dangerous. Just between you and me, if Roy O, Puma, and Carlos Lee are all still on the team by the all star break, I will take that as a sign that something is terribly wrong with our club. It's going to be a long year, but as any good Houston fan knows, there's always next year.

That's the update folks, thanks for reading! Hopefully we'll keep this thing going including visiting contributors adding their Houston related expertise. Check back regularly and we'll keep this thing going. See you around town.
