Foggy, I think I finally figured something out. I am not a huge baseball fan and I'm not a native Houstonian. I moved here almost a decade ago and have probably been to less than 10 live baseball games in my 41 years. Oh, i played little league baseball some 30 years ago.
But every time I hear someone that has not lived in Houston call it a shithole, or call the Astros bad, or just bad mouth a place just because it makes me like Houston more. It makes me root for OUR teams harder. It makes me want to wear the hats, the shirts, and the jerseys. It is the same thing with OU and UT; every time a UT alum talks down to an OU alum I show them some pictures of the shitter parts/people in "unimpeachable" Austin, TX. They are making me a bigger fan by badmouthing a place they have never spent much time and don't really understand.
So guess what? Go 'Stros and fuck all of you people that are jealous that a 5'6" absolute beast of a hitter is on the verge of another title. Go beg your owners to buy and develop a better team.
