Houston Rockets Preview: A Yao-Less Team’s Goals and Dreams
Posted: 8th October 2009 by Denton Ramsey in NBA
ItÆs tough to come up with a reasonable set of goals and dreams when the two pinnacles of the Houston Rockets franchise seem to be lost in terms of "when" or "if" they will return this season.
The 2010 NBA season will begin with a giant question mark surrounding the return of Tracy McGrady. Unfortunately, the year will also begin without Yao Ming at the center (as he is currently slated ...

Houston, we have a problem.
Not that we didnÆt already know that as Astros fans, but there are undoubtedly issues that must be fixed as we look towards the end of the 2009 season and beyond.
My main hope is that we keep some of the core intact, ôveteransö like Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman, along with up-and-comers such as Hunter Pence and Bud Norris.
The future appears bright for the Astros if ...

Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Denton Ramsey in MLB
Trust me when I tell you that I am one of the biggest Houston Astros fans you’ll find on the entire planet.
Most of the time, you’ll find me in my full home gray Astros uniform in front of the TV from the first pitch until the final out.
