Yes this weekend is the Lone Star Series....for those of you who don't know...baseball...Astros vs. TX Rangers. And the winner gets the big silver boot, best our of six. Right now the Rangers have it, but Astros are the best team...well they are doing better than the other teams now, so I think we have a really good shot at bringing it home, and here are my reasons....
Since May 1, the Astros sport MLB's best record at 11-2 and the Rangers have the second best record since that date at 10-4.
'Stros are the only Texas team that went to the World Series..Rangers have never been to a playoff series anyways.
Starting in 1996, 'Stros have only lost 2 seasons from 2002...Rangers only have one winning season.
Keep an eye out for these guys.....
Lance Berkman: .391 AVG, 15 HR's and 43 RBI. What category doesn't he lead? A Triple Crown and MVP candidate. This could be a special year in Houston.
Hunter Pence: .286 AVG, 4 HR's and 22 RBI. After struggling early and often, Pence is back in form and currently with a 13-game hit streak. An Arlington native, Pence will be looking to show up his home town team.
Miguel Tejada: .343 AVG, 5 HR's and 31 RBI. A pleasant surprise to Houston. A leader. A defensive whiz. A no doubt All-Star. You've done well Ed Wade
