re: AL Wildcard Game: Astros 3, Yankees 0 - F BOOM BITCH

It was very difficult to follow after having full access for 20 plus years on tv and radio, especially in the BR area. Hard to beat your chest when your team is losing 100 games a year and you can't watch them. Doesn't mean that people that are cheering now are not die hard Astro fans, we just simply have something to cheer about again.

This is exactly how I feel and believe most fall in this category. I kept up with games through radio last couple years here and there, but it was not always easy to follow them outside of me getting update every night with final score. I changed my service to Direct tv when it was announced we could get Astros games again because it brought back that opportunity to watch.

We finally have something to cheer about between the opportunity to watch them, which we got this year, and a team that is a very good and young and he thinks like this. I'd hate to break it to him but for the most part the people I've noticed as excited as me are all the ones who never left during the last 10 years, but doubt he knows how big the Astros fan base has always been in Houston and Louisiana.
