Now that Bregman has been called up I am going to declare fandom for an MLB team for the first time.

Is there anything that I need to know?

Houston sports fandom is not a rewarding experience. Take it from a lifelong fan

Join the DAT every day on this board. It's heaven and hell combined, but it's a family.

Amen. The pros do not outweigh the cons. Not even close.

I mean Astro fans do melt, but you can always come be a Ranger fan and melt hard as frick with me.

DAT threads basically have the same dysfunction and mood swings as LSU game threads, except there is a new one every day instead of just 4 times per week.

Yeah this is pretty spot on. Once you get invested in a team it can become one of the most aggravating things in the world, and likely the most aggravating team you follow in sports. Be glad you missed about the first 35 games this year for Houston

You know we'd still take you in, McCaig. No initiation required.

It reminds me of pulling for the Saints pre Payton/Brees. I can't claim to be a life long fan but I can appreciate their struggle. I admit since the Astros have become competitive I've become a fan.

I think the turn around happened when the Astros have got a decent GM and manager now and some pretty good players including an All Star in Altuve. Springer is great. Correa is pretty solid as well.

You're in for a good run once they land an ace
