Thanks, I never knew that. I live up near Cranberry, so that would be a little too far away for me normally but I do get down to Carson St. occasionally.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts. I've seen a few 'Stros games on TV and their base running has been worse than my 12 year old's team .... just awful.
I'm going to tomorrow's game at PNC, hoping for a fresh start.
Last time I saw Hampton pitch was in the Astrodome; he was good back then :lol:

I posted these in a separate 'mailday' thread but I wanted to post them here also.
The cards below were all sent to me by NECpilgrims8. Thanks Adam; I truly appreaciate your generosity.
Thanks again,
Phil
A few weeks back I pointed NEC in the direction of a Biggio card he wanted for his collection - a 1998 Bowman's Best Atomic Refractor /100. Having bought that card, he offered to send me a few cards as a 'thank you'.
Well I got home today from a long business trip and there was a package...
The stadium is indeed awesome and the fact that it's easy for me to get tickets to see the 'Stros, makes it even better.
Even though your seats appear far from the action, the park feels really intimate; plus there are plenty of cool places to stand and watch the game.
Phil
Amazing ...
I searched all my duplicates and didn't find one :(
I wonder how many of these got thrown away because people thought they were badly printed !!!
If someone want's to throw one my way, I'll be happy to get it ;)
Phil
I had snipes set for both of those and also the '97 Fractal Matrix Gold Die Cut that the same seller had listed. None fired as the sell price was above my limits :(
Really pleased however that you were able to pick up at least one of the cards. :)
Pretty excited about my latest Biggio pickup.
1997 Bowman's Best Mirror Image Atomic Refractor INVERTED
I've never seen the "inverted" atomic refractor version for sale before. Anyone know how rare these are?
Best part is that it wasn't listed as the "inverted" version, so I picked...
While Oswalt's statement about removing stats is not that smart, as an Astros fan I am proud that at least a couple of people on the team are trying to speak out about the whole PED issue. At least I can tell my kids that there are MLB players who care enough to say "No".
Phil
I am so pleased for you. Those cards are beautiful together.
Maybe one day my Biggio collection will be half as good as your Grace collection :lol: :lol:
