    Jeff Kent was a great teammate according to Biggio/Bagwell.

    Kent, for sure.

    Clemens and Pettite were pretty well embraced... but it was also mostly a veteran team, with guys of similar age.

    But I agree... Justin has connected extremely well with the younger guys.

    In theoretical terms, the further Altuve can get away from the contract the slower the money will move, and the less he ages.

    hmmm, He signs his monster contract and his numbers go down. Same as Berkman. Looks like these guys got their payday and now just going through the motions.

    Are you Mr. Scarface's alter ego? Do you really think he's going to hit .248 for the entire season?

    Either a troll or just very very very misguided thinking.

    He's hit 9 home runs already. What a bum he has become.

    The only currently bad contract in Houston sports is Chris Paul.

    Altuve loves the game.

    This has nothing to do with that.

    Yikes man.

    VonBock is a miserable 'fan'.

    Hates Chris Paul (deal/trade) & Harden

    Hates Deshaun (trade)

    Altuve got paid and is "going through the motions"

    Would they have won the World Series if Darvish wasn't tipping pitches?

    What a great day...the day we signed Altuve long-term. Just going through and re-reading the comments on this thread show just that. This thread is a great read. If you don't ride with Altuve, then cordially get the hell out of Houston.

    No, Seriously. Last time someone made a thread like that the Astros won ten straight.
