Astros Opening Day: Projected Lineup
It's time once again to kick off another Houston Astros season. The team opens the 2012 season at home today against the Colorado Rockies. Expectations aren't set very high for our boys this year in their first season under owner Jim Crane, but opening day always means there's a chance. I could only hope to see them have some sort of Cinderella type season in their last year in the National League.
First pitch is at: 6:05 PM. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Houston, DirecTV channel 678, Dish channel 442 and 9580.
Wandy Rodriguez (now one of the more veteran pitchers on the staff, which is odd to say) will make the start for the Astros. The rest of the projected line up (not in batting order) includes:
C - Chris Snyder
1B - Carlos Lee
2B - Jose Altuve
SS - Jed Lowrie
3B - Chris Johnson
LF - J.D. Martinez
CF - Jordan Schafer
RF - Brian Bogusevic
The bad news is that 7 out of these 8 guys are pretty unproven and inexperienced. Lee, the only really seasoned vet is making way more than money than he deserves. The good news is that leaves plenty of room to go up from here. None the less, I'm ready to watch some Astros baseball be it good or bad.
LET'S GO STROS!

Goodbye Mario: ESPN reports that Mario Williams has agreed on a Deal with the Bills
It has been reported that the Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement to acquire Mario Williams. They've scheduled a press conference at 12:30 PM CST, which I can assume is when they will make the announcement. We can also assume that he will most likely receive the largest contract ever for a defensive player considering the amount of cap room that that the Bills are playing with.
What does this mean for the Texans?
It's great for the Texans. Now they can make moves in Free Agency without being concerned on whether they'll have money tied up in a new contract with Mario. Look for Chris Myers and Mike Breisel to both be signed shortly after this becomes official.
Our D proved it can dominate with out Mario, so we'll be just fine.
Best of luck to Mario Williams! Thanks for the memories as a Texan.

2012 Old Spice Arian Foster Football ProCamp
This offseason Arian Foster is reaching out. While the Texans and the rest of the NFL are going through Free Agency right now, Foster (who recently has been locked up as a Houston Texan for years to come) has been getting the word out about his football camp for kids coming up early this summer.
Foster, along with a selection of top prep and collegiate coaches from the Houston area will be on staff at his 2012 Old Spice Arian Foster Football ProCamp to help boys and girls ages 7-14 focus on the team concept and fundamentals of football.
Not only will each camper have the opportunity to work with Foster, but they'll also receive an autographed camp team photo, t-shirt and the opportunity to win cool prizes. If you have a little one that you'd like to get involved with football or further expand their football skill set, I recommend checking this camp out.
Presented by A-Affordable Insurance and Kroger. The two-day youth instructional football camp is May 5th- May 6th at Pearland High School near Houston from 9:00 AM-12:30 AM.
Foster will give daily team and confidence building lectures as the campers will participate in games, stations and skills contest that help them develop their fundamental skills of football.
Additional information and camp registration is available by visiting http://www.ArianFosterProCamp.com or calling 888-389-CAMP (2267).
To date, Foster has continued to prove that he truly appreciates the community through his outreach and this camp is another testament his desire to give back and help others. Kudos to Foster for taking time this offseason to work with Houston area kids and help prepare the NFLers of the future!

Thank You to the Texans
So I've at times been pretty harsh on the Texans, but tonight I have to take a few moments to say, "Thank you."
It's been ten years of a mixture of emotion that included both happiness and frustration. But nothing compares to the awesome feeling tonight when the Texans whipped the pants off of the Bengals in their first ever playoff game. I've been following and trying to stay objective for years, but tonight...I want to be a fan.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you to every single one of the members of the Houston Texans. Yes...thank you Arian, Owen, JJ, TJ and Brian......but beyond that...thank you Chris, Duane, Mister, Matt, Gary, Wade and every single member of the Houston Texans administration. Thank you to everyone who is part of the organization.
All of you make the fans...like me....so damn happy to be fans!
