Allow us to explain.
First off, what's with the popsicle uniforms? It's one thing to wear those in 1978, but by say, 1985, management really should have known better. Worse, the organization stuck with those into the 1990's.
We never liked the Astrodome. We loath inside baseball and felt the Astrodome was a huge eyesore. Ironically, we hate the new park even more. It's a ridiculous bandbox that screams 'look at me!' And that stupid hill that used to be on the warning track; what was the point of that? What was with the flag poll on the field? Why? Frankly, we've always associated the new park with Enron.
It always irked us that the Astros couldn't score more runs for Nolan Ryan. In 1987 the man led the league in ERA but had an 8-16 record. How is that even possible? Also, the entire 1986 staff was doctoring the ball. You knew it. We knew it. Mike Scott knew it. We bet Bob Knepper knew it too.*
Ok, ok, we've been tough, we admit it.
We'll give you credit, Houston. This team is fun to watch and we love Jose Altuve.
Red, yellow and orange, why?**
*No, we are not fans of the NY Mets.
**We are aware Davey Lopes was only briefly an Astro. That card is the first card we remember buying in the summer of 1987.
