re: DAT 5/17: Astros (McCullers) @ Marlins (Urena), 11:10 CDT

I was at all of the playoff games at home in 04-05...before I had any kids

Yeah, I get the impression that quite a few DATers feel that way.

Guilty. I've got an NFL team in Louisiana and I don't particularly care about the NBA.

Same. Screw the Texans and rockets.

As a rockets fan, I personally enjoy the shitposting on the MSB.

If Houston still had the Oilers I would have jumped on them but I can't back their shitty Texans name and colors.

I am 27 so i am barely old enough to remember the oilers and I still feel this way. I spent football season falling LSU/SEC football grewing up and couldn't have cared less about the nfl.

I fall into this category.

Baton Rouge native living in Fort Bend county now. Could give a damn about the Texans, Rockets or Dynamo

But the Astros have always been my team...from early trips in the 80's to Astroworld/Waterworld and Astros games at night with my dad and brothers for a whole month each summer for 4 years, and now being a resident as an adult. I breathe orange fire.

Me also. Went to games as a kid and loved Jose Cruz and the orange rainbow jerseys. We went every year usually about 3 times a year into the 90s. Ironically, I have only been to MMP once but I watch all games win or lose. Really used to enjoy listening to the radio broadcasts when I was younger and before all games were available to watch on TV. Late 80s/early 90s BR games on tv were only road games with the exception of TBS and WGN games. Those days were fun.
