Bye Bye, Biggio

Monday, October 1st, 2007

On Sunday, 41 year old Craig Biggio said goodbye to his legion of Houston fans at Minute Maid park for the last time. The second baseman retired but leaves behind an impressive record that makes him a contender for the Hall of Fame: 20th in major league history in hits (3,060), 12th in runs (1,844) and fifth in doubles (668). Biggio has given twenty years of fun and excitement to Houston Astro baseball fans.

What will you miss most about Craig Biggio or what’s your favorite memory of a game he played?

So far so great for Texans with win against Chiefs!

Monday, September 10th, 2007

The Texans have come out strong winning with a big win in their first game of the season. Mario Williams is proving he was a good pick with a great performance, including a 38-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the game against Kansas City. The final score was 20-3. The defense also came out strong. They forced four turnovers, and sacked Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard three times. The game was exciting to watch, with a 77 yard touchdown thrown by Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson.

It’s a great—and hopeful start—to the season.

What are your predictions for the season? What do you think of the team this year?

About Houston, TX

Emerging from Houston's old oil town persona is a new "opportunity city" that prides itself on diversity, friendliness, and business and cultural offerings. Houston has all the perks of a big city - museums and galleries, major sports teams, corporate headquarters, and dishy local politics - mixed with a little bit of Southern charm. Where else will you find an artist that specializes in giant presidential busts, more restaurants per capita than any other city in the world, or a lovable muckraking TV reporter that loves to talk about slime in the ice machine? There's always something to see and do in Houston, and you'll read about all of it and more here.
